I read only one part of his autobiography and it was his time with Boro. The club had him house sharing with Gazza! They use to take sleeping pills and drink red wine. It was madness putting those two together.I remember when he was on that Harry's Hero's thing and he was talking about his addictions, it finally clicked to me why he wasn't happy at Boro. He was struggling and a recovering alcoholic around a club that had a massive drinking culture. It must have been hell inside his head to be honest.
Merson was amazing for Boro in 97/98 and those of old enough have fond memories. I find him unbearable on Sky Sports though. He’s awful to watch.
