Paul Merson
Paul Merson is a new kid on the block as far as after-dinner speaking is concerned. Whereas most soccer speakers on the
circuit regale the audience with retrospective anecdotes, Merson is current. Younger members of the crowd can associate
more easily with his laid back approach. Here is a man who has truly confronted his demons and is not afraid to discuss
them openly, His illustrious soccer career was sadly overshadowed by a destructive affair with 'Columbian marching powder',
this, coupled with his inveterate gambling habit, led to his personal meltdown. However, he is no longer in denial. He is
a joy to listen to and captivated the assembled throng with the story of his amazing journey. |
