Micky Adams - Personal Life

Personal Life

His mother was a cook and his father was a steelworker; he grew up with two sisters and one brother; his brother suffers from cerebral palsy.

He has three daughters from his first marriage; the marriage broke down during his time at Fulham, due in part to the amount of time he was putting into his football career. He later married Claire, with whom he had son Mitchell, born 2002, and daughter Madison, born 2004.

Adams made an appearance on BBC Radio Leicester's version of Desert Island Discs in August 2004, and chose songs from Nat King Cole (Love Letters), Billy Joel (Scenes from an Italian Restaurant), The Style Council (Shout to the Top!), and INXS (Mystify).

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    “A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
    —Agatha Christie (1891–1976)

    “Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first, for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth doing in life but laying out a garden.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
