Slough Town player-manager Scott Davies, leading the FA Cup’s lowest-ranked team, balances coaching with educating youth. He openly shares his past gambling addiction, which severely impacted his professional football career, personal relationships, and mental health, pushing him to a suicidal low.
Davies passionately advocates for a “duty of care” for young players, whom he describes as “the perfect customer for a bookmaker.” Having overcome his struggles, he aims for a distinguished management career, hoping to guide Slough to a memorable FA Cup third-round draw against a Premier League giant.
