beat his ding dong missus, and played for the red shite and for the north. He just can't get anything right. Still I hope he dies a relatively painless death. Alcoholism is a disease, in the same sense that heroin addiction is a disease. It's only a disease if you let it become a disease. And let me tell you, unlike with heroin, you don't have to steer clear of alcohol to avoid the addiction. I think somewhere along the line he made a choice, and he kept making that choice until it was too late. Other people have overcome alcoholism, Tony Adams and Clarke Carlisle being footballing examples.
