Chris Kirkland talks about addiction

[Tylluan]

Chris Kirkland just been on White and Jordan talking very openly about his addiction to Tramadol. He's only recently managed to get off it. 

WADA is banning the drug from January 1st and there's a lot of concern that within football the drug is still being given out like Smarties.

Then he needs all the support he can get. Best wishes to him.

Good luck to Chris, he was quality when we had him as a player and as a great bloke whenever I had the chance to speak to him.

Was on tramadol for years, it's great when you're in pain but the come down after is horrendous, I can see how professional athletes are addicted to such a drug.

By the rivers of tramadol, when we come down.......

Had Tramadol once for a trapped nerve in my Neck - supposed to start with one per day then work my way up to 3 . After 3 days of being away with the fairies tried accipuncture instead
