The book is about one man’s journey through gambling addiction, professional football, and his recovery. It’s about giving people hope, and that through courage, strength, resilience, faith, and hope, you can recover from trauma and adversity, and triumph. There are many highs and lows along the roller coaster journey of gambling addiction, and an insight into what it takes to become a professional footballer too. The book also raises awareness of problem gambling in the UK and offers hope to all who may be suffering from this crippling addiction. An element of religion is also a major part of this man’s story, regaining his Christian faith, and letting God guide him on his new journey and his recovery.

An ex-professional footballer, who played for 6 professional clubs in England [Stoke city/Cardiff city, Bury fc, Colchester united, Leyton Orient, and Hull City], as well as Gimonais CK in Sweden. Tony played in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier of English professional football, but sadly fell victim to a very serious gambling addiction throughout his 8 years as a professional, losing over £500.000 in the process, as well as his house, personal possessions, and the breakdown of his 20-year relationship. Tony fought back against his addiction, against all odds, and shared his story on national television in 2013 on BBC BREAKFAST, in front of 6.7 million viewers, culminating in him publishing his first book – RED CARD, in 2014. Tony went on to set up his own charity- RED CARD GAMBLING SUPPORT PROJECT in 2015, and became founder and CEO of his company, educating thousands of people across the UK on gambling related harms. Tony is now a renowned gambling awareness advocate and public speaker in the UK, and has worked with many media outlets, and government bodies too, helping to shape the gambling landscape in terms of changes of legislation and regulations. Today, Tony continues to grow the company and travels the country delivering educational and inspirational personal talks on his incredible journey.
