Former England midfielder Danny Murphy says he became addicted to cocaine after his playing career ended.
Murphy played for Crewe Alexandra, Liverpool, Charlton Athletic, Tottenham, Fulham and Blackburn Rovers before retiring in 2013.
"You manage it initially, you might do it once a week, twice a week, give yourself an extra third day. Eventually it builds up and grabs hold of you."Having started his career with Crewe Alexandra, Murphy joined Liverpool in 1997. Murphy said he "had a year of being in a world of pain" after finishing his career but "that year to 18 months from 2017" had given him "a desire to be better that I didn't have before".
