Michail Antonio: ‘In football, no one really cares about you as long as you perform’
West Ham’s record Premier League goalscorer on the club’s decline, the benefits of therapy and always being asked about his car crash
“I never thought I needed therapy,” says Michail Antonio during a long conversation about the darker side of football, trauma and where it went wrong for West Ham. “I was always a happy person. But I had so many demons.”
This is not just about the moment that almost cost the 36-year-old his life. Antonio knows how lucky he was to emerge from the wreckage with only a broken leg after crashing his Ferrari while driving home from training in December 2024, but it is one part of the story and there are plenty more chapters to write.
