Charlie Hartfield was a no-nonsense midfield enforcer during his playing days, and began his career in the youth ranks at Arsenal before spending six years at Sheffield United, which included playing in the Premier League. Charlie also played for Swansea City, Lincoln City and Telford. We discuss Charlie's career, including an infamous incident with the one and only Eric Cantona.

Charlie shares the story of his often turbulent life away from football. He has overcome a gambling addiction which plagued his life for many years, but also speaks with incredible honesty about how his 'gamblers mindset' led to his involvement in criminal activity and time spent in prison. He shares advice for others struggling with gambling addiction, but also speaks of how his positive mindset has prepared him for one of the biggest personal challenges of his life that he currently faces.
