The shocking revelation comes in an interview on The Overlap, “When I was six, I was molested by mum’s friend… because my mum was an alcoholic. That happened at six.” After making the statement Alli broke down in tears as Neville comforted him.

Alli’s biological mother was an alcoholic, later the Everton star would be adopted by another family and Alli credits them for turning his life around as Alli also confessed he began to sell drugs as early as 8 years old.

Dele Alli on rough childhood

“And then I was sent to Africa to learn discipline and then I was sent back. At seven I started smoking and then at eight I started selling drugs. An older person told me they wouldn’t stop a kid on a bike, so I’d ride around with my football and underneath I’d have drugs.

“At 11 I was hung off a bridge… by a guy from the next estate. A man. By 12 I was adopted but from then it was like I was adopted by an amazing family. I couldn’t have asked for better people to do what they done for me. If God created people, it was them – they were amazing and have helped me a lot. When I was living with them it was hard for me to open up to them because I felt like it was easy for them to get rid of me.”

Alli’s confession is a brutal reminder that even topflight soccer players and athletes at times do not come from a world full of glamor. Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has made similar confessions about his early life before finding boxing.

At 27 and back at Everton Alli hopes to return to his English national team form which saw him win 13 caps for the Three Lions.

That didn’t stop the former England star from a night of drinking and partying. According to The Sun, Dele Alli was photographed in a bed in Salford, England, where he was with four women and three men, including now ex-Chelsea player Izzy Jay Brown.

Alli is said to have ingested hippy crack, Hippy Crack is the street name for Nitrous Oxide or what is known as “laughing gas.” Alli was reported to have gone to a club called Chinawhite and spent as much as $7,000 and left the club with his friends and four women where the pictures were later taken at a flat in Salford.

Dele Alli’s night of drinking

According to source that spoke to the Sun, “Dele was having a great time drinking with his mates at the club.

“They had a booth, and the girls were serving them. They went back to one of the girls’ apartments and partied on until morning.” A woman named Niamh Saunders, 20, took a picture of the gang on a bed where Alli is trying to hide his face.

No word if Everton will take any action for the released photographs and Alli’s actions.

Spurs have just re-signed Gareth Bale on loan and as a result, they haveoffered Ali to several clubs in the past few days. They haveeven tried to send him on loan to Real Madrid as part of the deal. However, Zinedine Zidane’s side have expressly closed the door on theopportunity.

As a result, Tottenham are now looking tocash in on the 24-year-old by selling him to Paris Saint-Germain. TheFrench champions seem tonever get tired of newreinforcements.
