Scarlets legend Regan King has spoken candidly about the gambling problem he says he struggled with throughout his playing career.
The All Black is widely viewed as one of the finest overseas players to have graced Welsh rugby, with his majestic passing and ability to create space for others stamping him as a centre of rare class. He could beat opponents with his eyes and befuddle an entire defensive system with a mere flick of a wrist. Team-mates relished playing alongside him and coaches enjoyed working with him, with the former Scarlets director of rugby Phil Davies once saying: "I would pay to watch him train."
But away from the public eye issues were plaguing King.
