My truth EP 3 with Tony Kelly
Red Card Podcast Episode 1
The Negative Harm of Problem Gambling
Kicking Out Gambling Addiction Podcast - with Hannah Dyson
ProFormance Pathways Director, Harry O’Riordan has joined the Red Card Gambling Support team and has collaborated with our CEO, Tony Kelly, in the production of this eye-opening and powerful podcast on the negative harm of problem gambling.
Tony and Harry share their journeys through gambling addiction, touching on the various aspects of gambling harm that they both suffered. The podcast is both tragic, but also inspiring: Tony and Harry’s stories prove that there is always hope, and that we are all capable of coming out the other side and recovering to live a healthy and sustainable life.
In this podcast, both Tony and Harry are transparent and honest in their accounts. It is important we continue to raise awareness of this mental health disorder so we can help others to be more confident in opening up and talking about gambling harms they or their loved ones may have suffered.
In this podcast Hannah Dyson talks to Tony Kelly about what drives him to educate young people and adults on the dangers of gambling and how he turned his life around to lead the battle against gambling addiction. In this webinar we will discuss Tony’s personal journey including recovery tools and will explore Tony’s current work with Red Card and why it is important to educate young people and adults on the dangers of gambling.

That Tony Kelly Episode Podcast - with All Bets Are Off
Men Are Nuts is a podcast about mental health in society: the causes, the effects, the remedies. Let’s bring men together to talk, as you never know we might just save a life.
This episode features ex Stoke City star, Tony Kelly. Tony had the world at his feet and played alongside some of the biggest names in British football. He also played for former England World Cup winner Alan Ball at Stoke City. Tony takes us through a journey of his young life playing semi pro to then signing a pro contract. Being a young man with time and money on his hands, he started to mix with the older pros and that’s when he started to gamble. With no one to turn to and money readily available Tony’s career which was on the up started to take a downward spiral. Tony talks openly about his thoughts at the time, his bond with his twin, close family ties, and how he overcame his gambling addiction. He has written a book, Red Card: the soccer star who gambled away a glittering career.
He has now set up Red Card Gambling Support Project.
Tony Kelly talks to Ryan, host of All Bets Are Off, about his journey, forming Red Card Consultancy, and his work in educating the young. Tony also offers his thoughts as a member of the Gambling Commission’s experts by experience group.

Red Card Podcast - CEO Tony Kelly talks to the Red Card team
In today’s episode, Red Card CEO Tony Kelly spoke with Harry, Ben and Terry from the Red Card team on the upcoming gambling regulation review and what we are hoping to see reviewed, including how gambling is advertised and how bookmakers are placing their shops in areas with a high level of minority groups, clearly targeting that audience. The team also discuss gambling harm, including their own lived experience, as well as the effect it can cause on others. Red Card aims to reduce the number of people that fall victim to this destructive addiction by raising awareness of the risks and the devastating impact it can have on the gambler, their friends, and their families.
