Andy van der Meyde has revealed he took drugs while playing in England. I ruined everything (laughs). My football career was almost over when I came to England, it was all over because I did a lot of stupid things: I was young, I had a lot of money and I was leading a double life. He cheated on his ex-wife, she didn’t deserve all this, she was a good woman.
I left my children for someone else. I will never forgive myself for this. It`s only my fault, I can`t blame anyone else for it. I lived in Liverpool and we went out on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We drank a lot and never had enough. When alcohol stopped bringing satisfaction, I started using drugs, cocaine. It was no longer me.
I started having problems with my coach, and my personal life became complicated. My little princess spent the first three years of her life in the hospital. It was a whole bunch of problems. Because of this, everything began to go awry.
Then I understood. After two nights of being high on cocaine, I called my agent and said I had to leave: I want to leave Liverpool or I`ll end up killing myself. My wife saved me. If she had been with me when I was a footballer, I would have become one of the best wingers of all time, ” the former Inter and Everton player said in an interview with Prime.
