      Alli revealed the bombshell in an emotional interview on The Overlap with Gary Neville.
      The Everton star said: “At seven I started smoking and then at eight I started selling drugs. 
      “An older person told me they wouldn’t stop a kid on a bike so I’d ride around with my football and underneath I’d have drugs.
      “At 11 I was hung off a bridge… by a guy from the next estate. A man.”

      Ex-Spurs star Alli wiped back tears as he told how he was sexually abused by his mum’s friend when he was just six.
      But he explained how his life turned around when he was adopted by an “amazing” family aged 12.

      “When I was living with them it was hard for me to open up to them because I felt like it was easy for them to get rid of me.”
      But he found himself on a downward spiral again after returning to England from Turkey, where he was on loan at Besiktas.
      Alli said he was excessively drinking and consuming sleeping pills.
      In a desperate bid to get himself back on the straight and narrow, he checked himself into a rehab facility.
      He explained: “When I came back from Turkey I found out I needed an operation I was in a bad place mentally and I decided to go to a modern day rehab facility for mental health.
      “They deal with addiction and trauma. I felt it was time for me.
      “You can’t be told to go there – you have to know and make the decision yourself or it’s not going to work.
      “I was caught in a bad cycle and things that were doing me harm.”
      The star also revealed he considered retiring aged 24 after a spectacular fall-out with then-coach Jose Mourinho.
      Alli has been flooded with support following the interview, including from his girlfriend Cindy Kimberly.
      She tweeted: “Proud of you.”
      James Maddison, who recently signed to Spurs, also shared his support for Alli.
      He posted a still from the interview on his Instagram stories, writing “Love you brother” followed by a heart emoji.
      Ryan Sessegnon, who played alongside Alli during his time at Tottenham, said: “Love you brother. Proud”

      Fans praise Sky Sports F1 host Martin Brundle’s ‘absolute brutality’ towards rude Cara Delevingne as she breaks silence

      by

      FORMULA ONE fans have hailed Martin Brundle for his “absolute brutality” towards Cara Delevingne.Viewers were fuming yesterday when Hollywood star and model Delevingne ignored the Sky Sports presenter as he made his way down the pitwalk at Silverstone.

      Brundle’s grid walk interviews have become an essential part of F1 coverage, having worked as a reporter for the BBC and ITV before taking up his current role with Sky Sports.
      But Delevingne appeared to be unaware of Brundle’s gridwalk authority and brutally snubbed the former F1 driver as he attempted to grab an interview.
      He began by talking to a member of Delevingne’s entourage and said: “She doesn’t want to talk but everybody needs to talk on the grid.
      “That’s the deal now, everybody talks on the grid.”

      He then approached Delevingne and said: “Can we have a quick chat, [for] Sky F1? Good to see you on the grid.”
      To which Delevingne replied: “No.” and looked awkwardly at her entourage.
      Delevingne refused again and Brundle reiterated: “The deal is everybody has to speak on the grid.”
      She then said: “I can’t hear anything, I’m so sorry.”

      Brundle then said sarcastically as he walked away: “I’m sure it would have been extremely interesting.”
      The clip soon went viral on Twitter, with one fan writing: “Absolute BRUTALITY from Martin Brundle at #SilverstoneGP.”
      Another slammed Delevingne’s “garbage behaviour” while another tweeted: “What is Cara Delevingne doing on the F1 grid if she refuses to talk? Get someone who actually appreciates F1.”
      But a fellow fan actually defended the 30-year-old Delevingne, tweeting: “At this point, Martin Brundle is just doing it to manufacture the moment for the controversy of it all.
      “You can clearly see the PR rep tell him ‘no’ and shake his head when he goes up towards Cara Delevingne. He had an out and he chose not to take it to make a statement.”
      Delevingne then responded to that comment by saying: “I was told to say no so I did. Thank you for seeing both sides xxx.”
      Another person responded to that by saying that her agent did not “rule” her, to which she then replied: “It wasn’t an agent, it was an F1 representative.”
      Delevingne then added another follow-up tweet that read: “Anyway, I had so much fun today and was so happy to be there no matter what anyone else may think x.”

      This was not Brundle’s first awkward encounter with a celebrity on the grid.
      He was also shut down by Megan Thee Stallion’s entourage at the Miami Grand Prix in 2021.

      Jack Grealish hints at Declan Rice transfer as fans notice his latest ‘like’ on Twitter amid Man City and Arsenal battle

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY star Jack Grealish could’ve just let slip Declan Rice’s next club after he liked a specific tweet. Rice is hot property this summer with a transfer battle ongoing for the West Ham captain between Man City and Arsenal.

      But Grealish seemingly hinted at his England teammate’s destination whilst scrolling through his Twitter feed.
      The treble winner liked a video created by a West Ham fan titled ‘Westchester City’.
      The clip draws on similarities between Man City and the East London club with the backing track of ’We Go Together’ from the movie Grease.
      The video was uploaded following suggestions that the Cityzens are nearing a deal for Rice after reports emerged about their incoming offer.

      Grealish liked the uploaded video on Twitter and now West Ham fans seem convinced that he will be joining the treble winners next season.
      One fan wrote: “Grealish has 100% been on the blower to Rice convincing him.”
      Arsenal looked favourites to sign Rice for a while, but have since had two bids rejected by The Hammers.
      The latest bid, which totalled £90million, wasn’t seen as enough to pry the 24-year-old out of West Ham’s grip.

      It is reported that any deal would likely need to be in excess of £100million to convince the club to sell their captain.
      Manchester City are rumoured to be expected to launch their first bid imminently as they look to replace the departing Ilkay Gundogan who looks all but confirmed as a Barcelona player. More

      People are just noticing Lewis Hamilton’s bizarre steering wheel technique as F1 mechanic gives explanation

      FORMULA ONE fans have just noticed Lewis Hamilton’s bizarre steering wheel technique.And a Mercedes mechanic even felt the need to give an explanation.

      Most drivers grip their steering wheels with one hand either side, holding onto the handles.
      But eagle-eyed fans on Twitter have noticed that Hamilton does thing differently.
      In a clip, seven-time World Champion Lewis is seen with his left hand OVER the wheel.
      An F1 enthusiast on Twitter said: “I don’t think much has been said about this, but Hamilton’s first lap gear shift holding arrangements are unique.

      “No other driver adopts this position – not even his team-mate.”
      In response to the tweet, fans who were given a tour of the Mercedes pit showed a video where his unconventional grip is explained.
      The mechanic says: “Do you know why Lewis starts like that?
      “Why? What do you think?

      “Is he showing you something? Or is he holding [the lower gear paddle] so he can’t go down a gear.
      “If you put your hand there, you can’t go down a gear.”
      Hamilton uses this grip only at the start of races, where shifting up the gears is vital – he then returns to a conventional set-up.
      Hamilton is the only driver currently using this grip, and it is apparently because he favours a much thinner shift paddle compared to other drivers.
      It is a recent change in technique for Hamilton, with the driver only adopting the grip during the 2020/21 season.
      Hamilton placed third in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix behind Fernando Alonso in second and Max Verstappen in first.
      Verstappen is running away with the drivers championship, sitting 69 points ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez.
      His win in Canada saw him match Ayrton Senna’s 41 race wins. More

      The challenge from Gerrard went unpunished in the game but he did later receive a three-match suspension from the FA.
      But the tackle was remembered by fans, and one took to social media to ask people who they would like to do the same too.
      And Carragher got involved in the fans’ banter as he commented: “Gary Neville.”
      Carragher and Neville often clashed during their playing days as they turned out for rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.

      Fans fume at Sky Sports for ‘criminal’ decision to axe ‘talented’ and ‘special’ reporter whose commentary went viral

      by

      FOOTBALL fans have blasted Sky Sports for their decision to sack a “talented” and “special” commentator.Following a reportedly ruthless cost-cut call from Sky to axe six of their reporters, fans were left particularly disappointed by the decision to remove Jaydee Dyer from their ranks.
      Fans have slammed Sky for their ‘criminal’ decision to let Jaydee Dyer goCredit: Getty
      Dyer’s commentary for an Ollie Waktins goal saw him go viral with even Ian Wright singling him out for praise
      Dyer typically works on Sky’s coverage of Basketball, but went viral for a piece of commentary from the Premier League.
      During a match between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest in April, Dyer was an onsite reporter for Soccer Saturday – another show facing a makeover with the departure of Jeff Stelling.
      Dyer received widespread praise for his eloquent description of an Ollie Watkins goal, with one fan saying: “I could fully see the goal unfolding in my brain as he called it.”
      Even Arsenal legend Ian Wright poured on the praise, adding: “Brilliant @J_Dyer_Official. The way you described it felt like I was next to Ollie Watkins! ♥️.”
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      However, fast forward to today and Dyer is one of the names who will no longer be continuing with Sky along with Guy Havord, Dickie Davis, Bianca Westwood, Greg Whelan, Lynsey Hooper.
      Reacting to the news, one fan wrote on Twitter: “Criminal if they get rid of him when there are less enthusiastic pundits sitting on their panel, let alone around the grounds…”
      A second reacted: “This is awful why has he been axed.”
      “He’s a genuinely outstanding broadcaster,” typed a third.

      A fourth replied: “How they gonna cut @J_Dyer_Official? Anyone that’s ever seen him cover football or basketball knows he’s quality at his job. Sky done themselves over here, JayDee will go on to bigger things.”
      Another added: “He’s brilliant with NBA coverage too. Somebody who holds your attention.”
      Big names at Sky Sports are not immune either, with Martin Tyler confirmed to be leaving the broadcaster and Geoff Shreeves reportedly being told to take a huge pay cut to keep his job.
      Dyer himself also appears to be disgruntled over the decision, appearing to like and retweet a number of tweets critical of the decision on his personal Twitter account. More
