  Tony Adams (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adams was born in Romford in the London Borough of Havering and joined Arsenal as a schoolboy in 1980.
Under George Graham, Adams became the lynchpin at the centre of Arsenal's defence, renowned for its well disciplined use of the offside trap, and was a crucial contributor to the club's success in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Adams rewarded his manager's understanding handsomely, captaining the club to two Premiership and FA Cup Doubles, in 1998 and 2002; he is the only player in English football history to have captained a League-winning team in three different decades.

Of course, this being Tony Adams, not so much the proverbial "born winner" as a man who has come through prison, alcoholism and divorce with his intelligence and wit enhanced rather than eroded, a looming relegation battle and a missing plate of pasta can do little to dim his enthusiasm for his strange new life.
Adams is also wary of returning to his roots.
Adams is hunting for the four additional loan players he feels he needs to supplement the arrival last week of Aston Villa's promising reserve-team striker Luke Moore.

 The Observer | Sport | Nick Hornby meets Tony Adams
This is the Adams we have become accustomed to over the past four years - calm, rational, slightly baffled and repelled by his previous excesses.
It is difficult to imagine that the team Adams broke into (which contained Charlie Nicholas, Kenny Sansom and several other players who were not, it is probably fair to say, teetotal bibliophiles) would have been terribly sympathetic to the character that has emerged since his treatment for alcohol addiction four years ago.
Adams seems anxious to dispel the notion that only in the past three or four years - since the arrival of Arsène Wenger and sobriety - has he reached his full potential as a player.

Adams is well worthy of any praise he receives, given he now uses the knowledge illustrated in the book to help other sportsmen in similar situations.
Adams has paid a heavy price for his addiction, losing a marriage and losing the memories of some fantastic sporting achievements along the way, but in this well-written book it is clear that he is far from finished.
Tony isn’t afraid at all to tell us about his addiction to alcohol the book isn’t a big lie but a big truth, which in my opinion what makes this book.

Adams, like a classic literary figure, cast in a world of mediocrity, a world demanding to be energised by the England and Arsenal visionary.
Tony’s retirement from the game coincides (coincidentally?) with the start of the downward trend in football attendances, the sleaze and bling culture escalating in football’s high cathedrals.
