Andros Townsend

Really fantastic article by Andros Townsend with his struggles in his career including the death of his brother, gambling addiction, injury and end of his Spurs career.

It is well worth a read. Wonderfully written and open.

Really good article, I remember I always wanted Andros to make it at Spurs as he was a local boy and a Spurs fan. Unfortunately he wasn't good enough.

Interesting about the injury that he had to change the way he plays.

Just goes to show it's not cut and dry, it's not a FIFA computer game where the players are robots, they have real life issues and mitigating circumstances that can cause one off bad games, poor form etc.

Players Tribune always good. They somewhat go under the radar, a lot of high profile players do it but, for example, the players never seem to post their interviews on their social media.

love reading things like this and listening to open interviews with footballers as it gives you a real insight into what life is like for them
