Imagine you are a professional footballer and you have decided to confess to your manager that you have a gambling problem.
You approach the door to their office, and to make the ordeal that bit harder, on the other side sits Roy Keane.

Yet for former Sunderland striker Michael Chopra, who decided to push the door and walk in, Keane could not have been more understanding and helped him turn his life around.
