Sheringham speaks out on gambling
West Ham United striker Teddy Sheringham has expressed his fears about gambling. Speaking in London, Sheringham said that this addiction is becoming more of a danger for younger players starting out in football. He sited the reasons for this problem being the amount of leisure time that players had added to the amount of money that they have available for gambling. He is very much of the opinion that players nowadays are not as disciplined as they ought to be and perhaps didn't focus as much as they ought to on becoming true professional footballers. Sheringham himself is an avid poker player, but said that his main focus was always on his football.
