Former Wolves striker turned agent reveals scale of 40 year gambling addiction as he seeks to help others

The 51-year-old made his name at Derby County, and still remains their record Premier League goal scorer.

After a short spell at Leicester City, he signed for Wolves for £350,000 and scored 28 goals in 75 games during a four year spell at the club.

Later in his career he went on to sign for Kidderminster Harriers, where he ended his playing days.

Sturridge now works as a football agent and has this week revealed that he had been battling a serious addition to gambling for the best part of four decades.
