For some players, the final whistle heralds the beginning of an infinitely more difficult chapter in their lives. Some simply find it impossible to cope, replacing one addiction with another. Not well known is the story of Paul Vaessen, perhaps the most powerful and tragic tale of them all. Paul was the Bermondsey boy who rose from working-class roots to overnight fame in Turin when in April 1980, as an unknown 18-year-old, he scored one of the most dramatic goals in Arsenal's distinguished history. But all too soon Paul would discover how fragile and fickle the world of football could be as he experienced unforgiving injuries, loss of form and merciless barracking by his own fans. Just three years down the line, he was on the scrapheap, discarded by the game he'd devoted his young life to, and descending quickly into the only other world he knew, that of drugs. Paul would spend his lonely final days reliving his moment of glory with anybody willing to listen, that one moment in which he had effectively become stuck.

Fashionista. Model. Pop star. Celebrity. Influencer. Footballer. Charlie Nicholas was many things to many people during his footballing career. The embodiment of the 1980s, Charlie breezed into Highbury in the summer of 1983 with the promise of sex, goals and rock ’n’ roll, but burdened with expectations which would prove impossibly high to meet.At the same time, impressionable young teenager Stewart Taylor was looking for a hero. He found one in the form of Prince Charlie, and reciprocated by doing all he could to help him prove his detractors wrong, only to discover too late that he had been doing the exact opposite.Charlie Nicholas captivated Arsenal fans for four-and-a-half years, never more so than at Wembley Stadium on 5 April 1987, when his goals helped launch the successful George Graham era – an era in which he would play no further part.Told in the words of former team-mates, journalists and fans, Truly, Madly, Charlie is a love letter to one of the most talked-about, popular and effervescent sporting characters of the 1980s.
