And so then they're in.

And once they're in, I mean, it ruins their lives.

I've seen Kylian Mbappe speak out against the gambling culture around football, and I absolutely, totally agree with him.

I don't have...

The rest is football that I do.

We've always refused gambling adverts, for example.

I won't get involved in that.

Yeah, I think it is a concern and it's something that we really need to keep an eye on.

seamless and easy it's become to just lay bet after bet after bet from your phone on your couch like there's no friction there's no bookie there's no casino there's no nothing you're just going like this it's it's it's it's terrifying because it's it's so addictive as well i mean very fun when you i talk to people that work with people in various addictions whether it's you know alcohol drugs six they say the hardest one to kick is the gambling addiction

I think it came with social media because suddenly you get a platform.

Whereas before social media, unless you're asked in the occasional interview, which I was occasionally about certain things outside of football, you don't really get the opportunity to share your views.

So I think it's...

I understand why most sports people don't get involved because you do get a lot of shit when you do it.

I got that as well, but it's generally shit from people with some kind of vested interest in the opposite view to that you've got.

And it's generally from the people that clam,

go on and on and on about free speech.

You know, where's free speech?

But as soon as you do it as a sports person, oh, no, you stick to talking about football.

We don't want to hear your political opinions.
