BUTCH WILKINS DRINKS TO HIDE SHAME OF TALKSPORT JOB

England great ‘pointed at in street’

Former England international footballer Ray Wilkins was yesterday given a suspended sentence for drink driving. But behind this reprehensible crime was a tale of painful tragedy.

Facing manfully up to his sentencing of getting off scot free, Wilkins revealed that he was an alcoholic.

"I just couldn't live with the shame of what I'd become after my career in the game ended. I started meeting friends for a drink most nights just to occupy my time, then I was drinking alone every night and before long I was drinking in the house starting in the afternoon. When I was starting at breakfast I knew I had become a monster and that I was trying to hide from the shame I felt from agreeing to work for Talksport."

"The staring and pointing in the street, the whispers from strangers, the banal forced controversy, it all just got too much. And if that wasn't bad enough, being forced to work with Alan Brazil in a morning where he hands out the champagne from 6am. I used to take a glass just to cope with looking at his great big balloon head, and before you know it we’ve done two bottles in, suggested Andros Townsend for England, and you've got the rest of the day to fill so off to the pub...."

Clacka has long demanded action be taken against this curse to protect our aging sports stars with too much time and money on their hands. We call for parliament to shut down f&%$ing Talksport immediately.
