Boston United striker Noel Whelan has admitted that he is battling an alcohol problem.

 

The 31-year-old former Leeds United and Middlesbrough star has checked into the Sporting Chance clinic in a bid to overcome his addiction.

 

The charity, established by Tony Adams five years ago, specialises in helping sportsmen and women with personal or addiction problems.

 

Sporting Chance chief executive Peter Kay said: "The only reason we are making this public is that Noel has nothing to hide and is facing up to his problems.

 

"It takes immense courage to say life has become a little bit tough and admit that you need some kind of support.

 

"I take my hat off to anyone who has the fortitude and strength of character to ask for help.

 

"Noel has asked for our support and we will continue to support him."
