Thanks for all the comments everyone, I blummin love all the interaction! For those asking, the full audio pod is available every Sunday on Spotify, Google pod and very soon it'll be on Apple 🍎
I bummin love the cast!! You should do a carling Cup special and get some of the old blues players on!! Gardener, Johnston stephan car would be amazing!!
You're so out of touch with reality Foster . 90% of kids up and down the country drink with their mates at 14/15 . If you don't you're classed as a weirdo. MAYBE .....MAYBE different now as the kids do drugs much earlier . I grew up in late 90's early 00's as a teenager and drugs were for ''junkies'' and it was how much you could drink . The naviety to say 14/15 year olds dont drink is incredible
I was the same tubes, I'm 25 and two years sober now but for a couple of years I'd have two bottles of wine before I'd even get out of bed and a bottle of vodka and a few beers for the rest of the day. Passing out every couple of hours for an hour or so. Lost everything but in a couple of years my life has done a total 180 and I've never been happier. Stay strong tubesy lad 💪
As someone who is currently fighting addiction after a life changing injury you boys don’t understand how important it is for people like you to speak about things like this, Thankyou
My mum had a drink problem for 6 years most people don't understand, being a alcoholic isn't a choice it's a illness, So much respect for tubes coming out and speaking about this 👍👏
Never met Tubes, but he's one of the soundest blokes you could interact with. DM'd him on Insta saying his golf channel had re inspired me to play golf after about 15 years not playing. Sent me a voice note in return. What a guy ❤
I met Tubes after Chelsea beat Wigan to win the league. He was drinking like a fish and off his rocker, but still one of the nicest blokes I've ever come across. Happy to see he's got help and turned it around.
Fair play to tubes I know where’s he’s coming from…I used to drink heavy and had to stop otherwise I would drank myself to death. Total respect to him to be so open…
3 years clean of Gambling and drugs addiction here mate. Hit a low point in my life and was living in a bedsit doing £1k of coke a week and would play poker constantly through the night just for something to do to keep my mind active. Lost Hundreds of thousands on buying the coke and losing. Was horrible. Hope you stick to it mate. Meetings helped me hugely. Good luck on your journey, mate. All my love with you.
Much love for Tubes I quit alcohol two years after he did! I have drank on three separate occasions since in a mental health crisis but I’m now 70 days sober again never to be in that situation again! I watch this for encouragement all the time!
Absolutely class Ben is so good at talking and asking the real questions. And tubes what a guy been through so much but is still here to help and guide others.
Massive respect tubes,biy different but I'm 4 weeks quit gambling and I'm preying this is it now...I'm doing ga and self excluded from everywhere so trying my best. Could listen to your story all day for inspiration
I remember I was with Tubes in 2015 outside Stamford bridge after we won the title against Palace. He was singing and shouting, you could tell he’d been on the piss and we was all loving it but little did I know that he was going through it at the time. Glad to see that he’s overcome his addiction 🙌 Inspirational stuff
I remember reading Keith Chegwins book a couple years ago - again a well known funny guy with a hidden drink problem - reading I felt a huge disappointment and sadness when he said he fell off the wagon. Ultimately, we know what happened to Keith. Im absolutely thrilled that Tubes has come through it a better person - well done Tubes and thanks Ben for a great interview - up the Baggies
Well done Tubes for overcoming your addiction. A good friend of mine was not so lucky, he didn't survive the heart attack at the age of 30. It's an awful sickness. Wishing you the best
Massive respect for Tubes .. The battle he had with himself .. man we can do anything in the world if we set our minds to it .. wow .. I've been trying to find my own battles at the moment and this video has been inspiring to me .. I'll have a better outlook towards life and turn it around for good
Ben love your podcasts they are Brilliant! I'm a Birmingham fan and I met u a couple of times in brum on nights out! Absolute legend and a different class goalkeeper aswell as an all round topman KRO
brilliant vlog this ben foster ,i remember watching peter aka tubes open his heart up about alcoholism and his heart attack and how he knew he had to change his life and kick the habit .
Great snippet again. Can't wait for the full episode. Tubes class as always talking so honestly about his alcoholism. Fair play to him reaching out to others to help them too. Definitely both your channels up there ony go to TH-cam watches 👏👏👏
Great honesty. We started drinking at around 13, if my kids had/would do that I’d go mad. And up until 30’s got absolutely smashed. But never alcoholic status despite work being full of alcoholic. Had a mate who literally drank himself to death, liked it too much. Another gave up twenty years ago, and he was a professional alcoholic. Same story about needing a bottle of vodka by his bed. He lost a week and then ten days not knowing what had happened
Respect to tubes for discussing this as it cannot be easy, he must have serious inner strength to get through what he has been through, he must have had some very dark days 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I remember tubes being the heart beat off soccer am back in the days with his skits and he would make everyone laugh. But it shows people fight private battles than no one knows about just to show not everyone lives the perfect life. Please be kind to everyone. Love and respect ❤️
I remember my misses calling me from the train telling me "that guy from Soccer AM is on the train". I asked her to get a photo with him so she did. The photo was of her and Tubes who was passed out on the floor of the train 😂😂😂
It seems clear how important support networks are to help people see where occasions of bad choices or less than ideal choices can become patterns of bad behaviour. Having one too many one too many times is one thing, or one bad financial decision one too many times, but anything more has to be identified before it begins to ruin lives.
Asked a question that I’ve been looking for in this podcast, I’ve been searching and watching tubes alcohol talks just for someone to ask this certain question and find the responses so thank you
Fair play to him for being honest. I clicked on this video and the advert that came up was for Heineken. Sad. We have normalised alcohol addiction in society.
Tubes is sound don’t know him but on his channel he’s given me advice and encouragement after I had a H. A. ,, he went out of his way to be honest. Top fella
What a podcast.. Love the honesty from Tubes.. Hope your´re doing well after the heart attack and massive respect for turning your life around.. Hope this will an inspiration for a lot of youngsters out there that already drink way to much... Ben, your´re a legend. theese podcasts are absolutely amazing..
Hey, Ben - is there any chance we could have a Cycling GK Fantasy Football league? I'll probably set my team up once and forget about it, but it could be fun!
My dad and step mom was both alcoholics she used to hide alcohol around the house my dad used to make me go try find it so she wouldn’t get violent if she knew I found it she’d say I’ll give you some if you don’t tell ya dad I was about 8 years old grown up around alcohol all my life probably why it’s a big part of my life now.
Had a few relatives pass away from alcohol abuse when I was a kid, it’s a very tough and slippery slope and I’m so pleased to see Tubes better again. Great to see a Warwick lad like yourself Ben succeed. All the best from a local lad too 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Ben im a fan, i love this channel so much and i always wanted a shirt of yours, i would love to have one so much. Sorry for my bad english love from an italian boy🙌❤️
@@kshitijsingh2311 I don't think they do tbh. 18 is the legal age and a lot of 18 year olds can go out and enjoy a few beers and not fall into addiction or abusive behaviour. The problem is how easy alcohol is to get hold of even at a young age of 15/16 and im not entirely sure what else can be done to combat that.
Whoever has mental health problems or any problems just open up and talk to people about it do not keep it to yourselves people can help please do not shut yourselves away with your problems stay safe everybody

Wow,I watched Soccer AM for years,and Never knew about the Drinking.Well Done Tubes.

Fair play to tubes he’s turned his life around! Plus has a sick trim now!
Sick is a bit of an overstatement

All the best for next year mate back where you belong 👊🏻
My mum had a drink problem for 6 years most people don't understand, being a alcoholic isn't a choice it's a illness, So much respect for tubes coming out and speaking about this 👍👏
More people that talk about this, will make others understand and realise that what you have said is so right ✊
It’s not really a choice or an illness, it’s an addiction
Some have more addictive mentalities but you always have a choice

Tubes is a class act, this proves anyone can turn it around

What an absolute legend! Not many people can talk about their addiction like this! Keep going!!
Love how open tubes is with his addiction, it’s helped me being more open with my gambling addiction

Great to hear
Can't help but ask mate....but £1K of coke a week? Do you still have a nose?
@@weSnooker At £50/£60 a gram, you'd be doing 16-20 grams/bags a week?

I watch this for encouragement all the time!
Have such huge respect for anyone who can speak so openly about personal struggles like this. Very hard thing to do, fantastic interview.

Tubes. What a guy… can’t wait for the full podcast to come out.
Ben, these podcasts are brilliant keep them up mate, and getting the legend Tubes on the show is amazing, keep it up mate
This is legendary in every way. Massive respect to all of you for being so open. Role models 👌🏼
Brilliant. Power to you both for getting out of the addiction and sharing your stories

Tubes proper good lad to listen to! Great content and so insightful to hear the stories, love it as always lads
Tubes is my hero. Forget footballers. This man is a true legend. His channel is life blood
What a guy
What pleasure to see 3 lads talking about life and open much respect from Kingston upon Hull ✌️✌️✌️
Incredibly open of Tubes. You should be proud of yourself to recover from such desperate times
Great honesty. We started drinking at around 13, if my kids had/would do that I’d go mad. And up until 30’s got absolutely smashed. But never alcoholic status despite work being full of alcoholic.

14/15 is so so normal where I live. I was smoking can pipes at 11 and regularly dropping ecstacy by 15. Not coincidentally, I ended up in AA aswell :D
Well done Tubes, very brave and candid and you’ll help so many people out speaking so honestly. Big love 💕
Fair play tubes, takes a man to be able to talk about this and to help others x
Respect to tubes for discussing this as it cannot be easy, he must have serious inner strength to get through what he has been through, he must have had some very dark days 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
really good work so far on the pod fozzy! Presuming you've got loads of new ideas coming up
Fair play to tubes you can see he's been very honest with himself to get to where he is now
I remember tubes being the heart beat off soccer am back in the days with his skits and he would make everyone laugh. But it shows people fight private battles than no one knows about just to show not everyone lives the perfect life. Please be kind to everyone. Love and respect ❤️
Tubes is the best character soccer am has had
We need a FozFest. Live podcast quality guests music and all round good positive vibes
Hats off to Tubes for sharing his story and helping others
I remember my misses calling me from the train telling me "that guy from Soccer AM is on the train". I asked her to get a photo with him so she did. The photo was of her and Tubes who was passed out on the floor of the train 😂😂😂

Great guy and he has a great TH-cam channel. Want to watch the episode in full though 😩
Big up for talking about this issue. Congrats Tubes ❤️❤️
Tubes is a proper decent bloke. Wish him all the happiness in the world.
I think a lot of people drink at 15 Ben tbf, it’s just when people start depending on it is when the issue starts :/
nothing but resect for pat. always loved him and always will
That was awesome. Cheers lads.
25 days until Watford are back in the prem go on Ben ❤️
Great podcast, again Fozzy!
Cheers
Love your videos Ben! Great Podcast ⚽️🎤🔥

Big fan from America 🇺🇸 Los Angeles
Looking forward to having a listen!
😘😘😘😘
starting drinking at 15 is pretty standard, most people don't go on to full on addiction from that
shoutout everyone who drinks for breakfast won’t be forever let’s hope lads never give up 💪💪
Fair play to him for being honest. I clicked on this video and the advert that came up was for Heineken. Sad. We have normalised alcohol addiction in society.
