My name is Matthew Cain. I’m 28 years old and I am addicted to football.

There: I’ve said it. the first step to recovery. I recognised my addiction when I noticed the extent to which I had stopped enjoying games. It isn’t just recent Liverpool results.

But I’m not ready to kick it just yet. The highs – however fleeting – are still too high. I even enjoy the despair as I know it’s just a prelude to another high. And reliving previous highs is too fun to abandon the present.
