About this episode
This week on Beyond the Barclay, part of the TalkSPORT Fan Network, we shine a spotlight on The Sobriety Club—a growing community built on honesty, support and life-changing conversations.
Jez is joined by former Norwich City forward and Sobriety Club ambassador Adrian Coote, along with the club’s founders: Tom “Toastie” Parke, Dereham Town manager, and Roy Bevis, known widely for his long career in the wrestling world.
Together they explore:
• Why The Sobriety Club was created
• The challenges and stigma surrounding addiction
• The power of shared experience and community support
• How football, wrestling and personal struggle shaped their mission
• And yes—Adrian Coote shares an unforgettable story involving wheelie bins and Prince of Wales Road…
This is one of our most powerful episodes yet: honest, grounded and full of insight into what recovery really looks like. Whether you’re on your own sobriety journey or simply want to understand the movement behind The Sobriety Club, this conversation offers real hope and real connection.
