Arsenal legend Paul Merson won two First Divison titles with Arsenal - and was one of the finest footballers of his generation. But for thirty years he's also been an addict. Alcohol, drugs, gambling - a cocktail of addictions and depression which the 53-year-old is still battling to this day. His new book - Paul Merson - Hooked: Addiction and the Long Road to Recovery - is out now. In a wide-ranging and frank conversation, Emma Jones began by asking 'Why this book - and why now?'
