Carl Fearns interview: I was addicted to gambling and losing £5,000 a month
Carl Fearns is a former gambler who lost up to £5,000 a month. Newcastle back rower is now in control of his addiction. Fearn recently got into a spat with Leicester fans for calling out Tigers No 8 Jasper Wiese for the clearout that ended Jon Welsh's career. He infamously knocked out Gavin Henson on a team night out in Bath. He wants to share his story to help other players who are in the same situation. The big wins are like the cheese in a mousetrap that kept Fearens returning for more.
