Paul Merson has opened up about his alcohol-related problems of the past, saying he 'had enough of living the life he was living.'
At the beginning of mental health awareness week, former Arsenal and England defender Merson spoke about how he now deals with everyday issues in contrast to what he would do in years gone by.
Merson's problems with alcohol and gambling have been documented but talking on Sky Sports' The Football Show, the 52-year-old spoke in detail about his issues and how he has learnt to overcome them.
‘I’d had enough of living the life I was living,' Merson said.
