Join Neil Harman and John Richardson as the talk to Paul Stewart an English former professional footballer who played top division football for Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, and was capped three times at senior level for England in the early 1990s, also winning the FA Cup with Tottenham Hotspur.

"When I look back, I played in that FA Cup final. I scored a goal, I played for England, they should have been the two happiest times of my life, but I didn't enjoy them.
I didn't enjoy them at all. And, it's subsequently, when I joined Liverpool, the drugs carried on, and I know that you say in your intro that through injury, but to be honest with you and I wasn't taking care of myself in any way, shape or form and one can't be playing at the top when you're taking drugs and drinking as much as I was, during my time at Liverpool.
And that I'll always regret because. I genuinely think I could have gone to Liverpool. And, I played, I think 32 games, maybe I think I could have played 321, and done really well there, but I was completely gone by then. And I was doing things off the field that I shouldn't have been."
