West Ham's Roy Carroll Battles Against Alcohol And Gambling Addictions
The £25,000 a week West Ham goalie reportedly starting drinking heavily after his gambling debts spiralled out of control. According to the Sun, at first Carroll attempted to win the money needed to pay off debts to a fellow West Ham player, when that idea failed he drowned his sorrows in a bottle of Bacardi. Carroll is now in the care of a consultant psychiatrist and is attending group therapy sessions and taking anti-depressants. A source said: "Roy's hit the bottom of a very deep pit. It started when his gambling went out of control and word is he's lost £50,000 in card games with pals." West Ham boss Alan Pardew added: "We fully support Roy. He has gone about tackling his issues in the right way."
