Nottingham's Jermaine Pennant has opened up on a "life-changing" diagnosis on ITV Good Morning Britain. The former Liverpool star appeared on the morning programme and explained how he had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit HyperActivity Disorder (ADHD).
The ex winger, who also played for Arsenal as a fresh-faced teenager, was diagnosed in September. The star reckons the diagnosis has helped him understand the issues he has faced. He said: "It is life changing because I would ask myself so many questions over the years. Why do I leave destruction in my path?"
Jermaine, who was born in The Meadows area, continued: "How have I got myself in certain situations. I just thought it was down to me being a lunatic or just not well or having serious issues. Not actually identify what they were so I was just round in the circles making the same mistake and telling myself I know I'm not a bad person, but why am I doing this?"
