Billy Kenny does not mind being a cautionary tale.
For years he has been the bad example, the horror story told as a warning to up-and-coming stars to show that realising their full potential is not inevitable. Whenever a Wayne Rooney or a Ross Barkley or an Anthony Gordon - or even a Steven Gerrard or a Trent Alexander-Arnold - has been on the cusp of breaking into one of this city's first teams, Billy is the case study of how things can still go wrong.
Billy is not just fine with this. He wants his story to be told. Even more so now that, after losing two decades of his life to cocaine and alcohol, he is sober to tell it.
