Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore releases his autobiography on October 3rd and boy is it going to be explosive. Mirror newspaper has published various extracts from the book which is called 'Stan: Tackling My Demons'. On bedding his manager's daughter, Stan writes: "I had been given a vivid introduction to the hedonistic lifestyle I could expect at Liverpool before I had even officially signed. "I had got quite friendly with a few of the Spice Boys at England get-togethers, so on the day after I played my last game for Nottingham Forest against Manchester City I drove down to London to hook up with them. "I arrived at the hotel they were staying at, which was opposite Lord's cricket ground in St. John's Wood. It was always the custom with footballers in those days that you would leave your door to your room open expect when you were sleeping. "So when I got up to the room on this occasion, sure enough, the door was ajar. I pushed it open and walked in. I stopped dead in my tracks as soon as I saw the scene unfolding in front of me. One of the players was sitting propped up on the bed, his hands behind his head, looking like a prince. Futher down the bed, two girls were giving him oral sex. "This was a brave new world for me. It was a culture shock. Small time to big time. Footballer to celebrity. David 'Jamo' James was modelling for Armani. Jamie Redknapp was going out with Louise Nurding, regularly voted the sexiest woman in the country as well as being a famous pop star. Jason McAteer, who signed at the same time as me, was going out with Donna Air. "I tagged along with them at just about the time football was exploding again in popularity. Suddenly the game was cool and hip again and footballers were people everybody wanted to be seen with, particulary women. "On the night we lost the FA Cup to Manchester United, I did something I had been attempting to avoid ever since I arrived at the club 12 months earlier. I slept with manager Roy Evans' daughter. "I had been aware of Stacey as soon as the season began. She was only about 18 but she was slim and buxom and she was always in the player's lounge at Anfield afer the games with the lads and their wives or girlfriends. She was a real flirt and there were rumours a couple of the players had been with her. "I didn't really want to go there. Not because I didn't fancy her but because Roy and his wife were lovely people. But as the month's went by, I met her a few times when I was out with some of the other lads at Soho clubs. "It was inevitable she was going to be there that night a few hours after the Cup Final. I caught her eye a few times during the evening and we did a bit of flirting. The team and management were all staying at the same hotel in Knightsbridge so Stacey and I got a cab back together and I went to her room. "We had sex, reasonably loud sex, actually, and when I got up to go back to my room, she seemed a bit nervous which was unusual for her. She asked me to try and keep the noise down while I was leaving and to shut the door quietly. She said her dad was sleeping in the room next door, which I hadn't known. So I tiptoed out of there, praying neither of her parents had heard us and neither of them was going to be in the corridor as I was wandering out of their daughter's bedroom. "The episode with Stacey is the kind of the thing that gives credence to all those people who think Footballers Wives isn't that far from the real thing." Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore says discipline at Anfield was a complete joke under manager Roy Evans. Writing in his book 'Tackling My Demons', Collymore tarnishes the memory of legend John Barnes - my favourite ever Liverpool player - by suggestings he basically ran the team. "Discipline throughout the club was slack when I joined Liverpool," said Collymore. "It was clinging to its links with past glories through players like Ian Rush and John Barnes. as if it couldn't bear to let them go. "The truth is they weren't worth their place in the team any more but Rushie and Digger were untouchable. You could hear the death knell of the Bootroom when I was there. I probably hastened its demise. "Barnes was more than just the captain. If Roy Evans, the manager, had put a particular training session on and Digger didn't like it, he's just walk back to the changing rooms. 'I aint f***ing doing this,' he would say, 'it's [censored]'. Digger had more of a say in our tactics than Roy Evans ever did." Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has revealed how players such as Neil Ruddock managed to cheat the club while earning thousands of pounds every week. Ruddock was privileged to play for Liverpool in a defence previously represented by legends such as Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson and Tommy Smith, all of whom gave their all, all of the time. He'll argue that he always gave a hundred percent but during some training sessions, he couldn't even give the club one percent. "Razor seemed to pick up a lot of injuries," said Collymore. "Once, he and I and a couple of the other lads were in the little gym at Melwood doing some recuperative work while most of the players were outside on the training pitches. The physio came in and told Razor he wanted him to do half an hour's running on the treadmill while he went out and supervised some of the lads who had just returned to full training. "As soon as he was a fair distance away, Razor, who weighed about 18 stone by then, hopped of the treadmill but left it running. He reached down into his bag and pulled out a foil container which had a bacon and egg sandwich in it. He sat down, whipped out a newspaper and started reading through it. "I was keeping a lookout for him and eventually I saw the physio start to make his way back towards the gym. Razor had a bag of ice that was supposed to be for him to strap around his injured foot. Some of it had melted so he rooted around in it and splashed the water over his hair and face and a bit on his t-shirt for good measure. And then he jumped back on the treadmill. "The physio came back in, saw a guy who seemed to be sweating like a pig and was fill of admiration. 'Razor, f***ing great professional,' he said, looking at everyone in the room as if we should all be using Razor as our model. "If you could get away with it at Liverpool, you did get away with it."
