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.
