You're about to listen to a BBC podcast, but this is about something else you might enjoy.

My name's Katie Lecky and I'm an assistant commissioner for on demand music on BBC Sounds.

The BBC has an incredible musical heritage and culture and as a music lover, I love being part of that.

With music on sounds, we offer collections and mixes for everything, from workouts to

helping you nod off, boogie in your kitchen, or even just a moment of calm. And they're all

put together by people who know their stuff. So if you want some expertly curated music in your life,

check out BBC Sounds. Hello, I'm Krista Young.. Thank you for downloading this podcast of Desert Island Discs from BBC Radio 4.

For rights reasons, the music choices are shorter than in the radio broadcast.

My castaway this week is the footballer Tony Adams.

He's one of just a very few who know at first hand the pressures and joys of captaining the England team.

And as a club player, he's the only man ever to have led a championship winning side across three decades.

Now as a coach, he's about to head off on a new journey,

to Azerbaijan, where he plans to spend a decade, creating, he says, the Tony Adams side.

He has lived a life of two halves. Sorry about that. True. His sporting success is legendary,

but so too was his addiction to the booze. He even spent time in prison for drink driving. Yet his journey of recovery is as remarkable as anything he ever managed on the pitch.

Aside from developing a love of literature, the arts and education,

he's poured his own cash into a pioneering charity that helps fellow sportsmen and women recover from addiction.

It's a transformation that former teammates have described as heroic.

He says of himself, I'm a completely different guy.

The old Tony Adams had a lot of good stuff in him as well,

but I wouldn't go anywhere and need him if he'd had a drink.
