TONIGHT former Kangaroo premiership captain Wayne Carey has said his drug taking came after his AFL career.

Carey told ABC’s Enough Rope that while he consumed alcohol constantly after football games throughout his entire career, taking the drug cocaine was only taken after his retirement in 2004 from the Adelaide Crows.

Carey’s sister Karen told the show tonight that he was a shy kid who would often cry.

“Very shy, very quiet, didn’t say boo,” she said of Carey as a boy. “We lived a very quiet and I guess constricted life so for me yeah, very shy, wouldn’t say boo. If you said something to him to hurt him or offend him, he would cry.”

It was also revealed that the former star player’s father did not allow Carey to bring friends to their home.

Carey said he did not feel comfortable moving to Melbourne as a teenager. It took him four years to start to feel some comfort.

“After a while, I adjusted to Melbourne and yeah we had some success as a football club.”

FootyHeads, what did you all think of the Carey interview? Did he tell the absolute truth?

Have your say, FootyHeads!
