Matthew Etherington
Matthew Etherington, a midfielder at Stoke City FC, has told The Guardian that he regularly attends gambling addiction support group, Gamblers Anonymous. The midfielder, who is believed to owe a “six figure sum” to various bookmakers, has suggested that twice a week he attends Gamblers Anonymous meetings in Birmingham, as they offer a way of talking about “things that can keep you off gambling”.
The footballer, who is said to be renegotiating his contract with Stoke City, has played down his gambling issues, with a source suggesting that the sums owed are “historical” and, as The Guardian reports, Ethertington has been “clean of gambling for some time”. It’s believed that the midfielder may receive a lump sum from the club in order to help pay off his debts.
