I’ve always liked Dan and watch him on Talksport, it’s easy sometimes as people to see celebs and think they got it together and life is great. Just goes to show they’re human just like the rest of us. Salute Dan for talking about his experience 🫡💯
Unpopular opinion time - I bet all those stars who got scammed all turned down perfectly legal and safe investment opportunities with a more modest return than they could sit with.
I have had a cocaine addiction for 15 years. I have a full time job i always have! I am a good person but i am my own worst enemy at times people that have never took drugs dont realise what its like. Any young people reading this please dont ever try drugs they will take over ur life!
Im the same as this , slow starter but when on a binge it lasts weeks every day and night dry sniffing, work gym home behind everyones backs Fucking horrible
I’m in same boat coke addict 22 years work full time got family 4 kids missis a home.as weird as it sounds I needs a line to sort my day out half the time so don’t judge anyone who has addiction it don’t change a person if you know that person
Never knew this about Danny, massive respect for sharing this thank you!! Been there myself, I can relate to almost everything he said!! Absolutely horrible going through it but getting yourself back out of it is the best thing ever ✌️
Never looked into Danny, but he would be one of the last guys I'd of thought would fall into addiction. So hats off to him for coming out sharing 👏. Gives some of us still struggling some hope.
Good player, good bloke. Nice to hear he's got it all sorted now. It can be hard just dealing with the fact your not a young lad when it hits you in your 40's, easy to start chasing your youth. Hard to imagine how bad it must be for elite level players who had everything in place while they were pros.
Big respect to Danny Murphy. I’m a Liverpool fan so I’ve obviously got a soft spot for him but I always liked how he made it at Liverpool after coming in from Crewe. I never knew any of this about Danny so full credit to him for speaking so openly about his troubles. Fantastic to see that he’s come out the other side and being mentally tougher from the experience. A realization that it could happen to any of us.
First of all well done for cameing forwar and admitting your addiction. People say it will never happen to me addiction can get anyone at anytime. I was in addiction for years and now I've been clean and sober for 5 years cameing up. I will be truthful I loved my kids and grandkids though at the time I loved the drugs more. It's only when I found help and support that I realized what I was. We say it's a disease though I say dis/ease and not happy with your life and you find the drug of choice to take away the pain, though it works for a time it just makes matters worse. At first I had control over the drugs then the drugs had control over me. We should never judge anyone because we don't know what they have been through. All the best danny for the future. God bless.
I remember seeing Danny on MOTD and thinking he's on the "gear", so I'm not surprised to hear this admission. Huge credit to him for not only making the positive life changes that he has, but also for being able to talk so openly about the battles he faced. Massive respect. 👏👏👏👏👏
Really find what Dan has just explained a very humbling real life talk on mental health…. I have more respect and appreciation for Dan now that he has went through the lows and found the way out he totally understands himself and this topic I hope he can pass this on because then lows unless you have been to the bottom you can’t truly pass this education on
Seeing this guy on to having no clue is a coke addict is quite scary man you never know what people are like behind closed doors and it shows how ruff this drug will make you age
Danny Murphy, great footballer, seems an even nicer guy though, I hope you carry on looking after yourself and your loved one’s, everything else comes second
God knows I’m not a Liverpool fan but I always admired Danny Murphy as a footballer and thought he was underrated. I admire him even more now for his honesty and integrity in speaking about his issues. Props mate 🙏
Footballers have an amazing life and it's hard to have sympathy but you can see why so many struggle after retiring. You go from earning loads of money, the buzz of playing in front of thousands every weekend, the buzz of scoring a winning goal and the fans singing your name, not to mention the thing that most say they miss the most, the dressing room banter, seeing your mates every single day to being sat at home every day doing nothing...
When he retired at 26, Bjorn Borg said he believed the rest of his life would just go perfectly because it had up until that point on the tennis court. But then things went south and he was ill prepared to deal with it all. Extreme sporting highs are followed by lows whose low nature is amplified by those previous highs most humans never experience. Fame always extracts a heavy price.
Think he has always come across as a decent fella. Appreciate his honesty here and wish him all best. Addiction, in any of its many forms is a horrible place to be.
He was a good player. Very underrated. He played at the top level for years with Liverpool which I think a lot forgot. I’m sure he was voted player of the season at Liverpool 2003. However that was a horrendous season. Thank Houillers bad transfer judgment letting Anelka go and signings that Diouf. But anyway he didn’t have a bad career Danny Murphy. Sort of a James Milner, Henderson or Gary speed type of player. Nowt flash just got on with the job.
As a fan for over 50 years of the reds I can still remember sitting in a pub in Arundel and Danny getting one of his free kick goals against United and the yoj I felt. That was a long time ago and before the issues he speaks so eloquently about in this interview. Whilst he would never be in my all time Liverppol 11 as a player, given this integrity and gutsiness to bare his soul, I would put him in my all time Liverpool 11 as a genuine human being. Bravo for being so brave and true to some key values to hold onto.
I done the tour of Old Trafford when I was working up there years ago. Bloke doing the tour said “It’s a special feeling seeing Ryan Gigg’s bombing down the wing in front of a full house” to which I replied “It’s an even better feeling seeing Danny Murphy bury a free kick here”. I nearly got lynched.
He's not even saying that in these clips (not watched the full podcast), he's on about footballers specifically, it's obvious there are more people with these issues.. I think he's just making a point that money and fame doesn't always bring you happiness
@@chrislacey8776 yeah good point. Murphy’s a good guy, I’m not really having a go at him. It’s more society in general, no-one (including me) does anything for people in real need
@@velobloxI hear you but I suppose maybe when people in the public eye open up it might inspire others to look for help too? Especially decent ones like Murphy and I'm a man utd fan.
I don’t mind Danny compared to a lot of pundits and he seems a decent enough lad but he can rabbit on a bit. He was intelligent enough to avoid all this and I’m guessing his intelligence is what stopped him getting in that deep.
