Keeper's £1million gambling addiction
Leicester's new keeper Jimmy Nielsen has revealed that a gambling addiction cost him £1million and nearly wrecked his career."My success maybe came a little too soon for me," admitted Nielsen, who had a brief spell at Millwall as a teenager in 1994.
"I did not cope well with living alone and being by myself at such a young age.
"It was small at first but, as I earned more money, I started to gamble more.
"The more I earned, the more I spent until I was spending more on gambling than I earned.
