Trigger warning: Sexual abuse, addiction and mental health.

In this powerful episode of The Overlap, Gary Neville sits down to have a heartfelt conversation with Dele, as he courageously speaks about his recent circumstances on and off the pitch and the profound challenges he endured throughout his childhood and long-lasting effects of trauma it has caused him.

Dele opens up about his recent battle with addiction and his remarkable journey of rehabilitation as well his unwavering aspiration to inspire those facing similar circumstances to speak up.

Dele hopes his brave admission can inspire others to seek the help they need. If you or anyone you know has been affected by any of the themes in this interview you can speak to the following organisations.

Incredible, strong interview. Always thought calling Dele lazy was unfair, he really seemed to lost his passion and spark for football. I wish he really finds it again and hell, I would love to see him return to Spurs and kill under Ange.
