    An often forgotten legend of the club.

    Some of you will be aware that he has had problems battling gambling addition in the past, and it was fairly well documneted a few years ago that he was also battling an alcohol addiction.
    I played football (grey haired old gits team) last Saturday and Kenny's nephew made a guest appearance and it seems Kenny fell off the wagon a few months ago and has been in rehab in Bristol.
    He relayed stories of Kenny sinking 11 bottles a wine a day and lives in his girlfriends place in Bromley, Kent
    Last I heard Kenny was an Emirates tour guide and playing some Masters football, I also remember seeing him on Sky a few months ago as a pundit so things did get better for him when his marriage failed 3/4 years ago - he has been in rehab for 5 months apparently and literally got out last week, let's wish him the very best with his battles.

    Saw Kenny play plenty of times, great little LB. He never really let his addictions affect his football, much in the same way as Tony Adams (apart from when he couldn't play because he was on holiday at Her Majesty's pleasure <whistle>)
