Carey got kicks from drugs
Karen Lyon | April 1, 2008
RETIREMENT from football was harder than expected for fallen superstar Wayne Carey, but it was only after he left the game he dominated for more than a decade that his alcohol problems escalated into drug use.
ON HEAVY DRINKING: "After every game I’d make sure the players got together and we’d go and have, you know, 20 or 30 beers."
ON THE INDECENT ASSAULT CHARGE: "I actually have no recollection of the night, whether that happened or didn’t happen. I pled guilty to something that I really had no idea whether I did it or not."
ON HIS AFFAIR WITH KELLIE STEVENS: "It was a catastrophic mistake to make. It was one of the worst decisions in my life and a decision that certainly changed the direction of my life."
ON HIS FATHER, KEVIN: "I got him a lot of tickets for all those grand finals, he didn’t come to any of those. I do know of one game that he watched me and I think that was when I was actually playing in Adelaide."
