Summary: Arsenal - Manchester United 1: 3 (Sport 1)
Former French defender Patrice Evra, who starred mainly at Manchester United and is known as a particularly colorful figure and a man who even during his career was not afraid to say what was on his mind, has told in the past about difficult childhood events including his sexual assault by one of his teachers at 13. He revealed another chapter in his life - the period when he sold drugs on the street in order to survive.
Avra, now 40, published an autobiography about six months ago in which he revealed a not-so-simple past at all, but in a new episode of the series "Freeze the Fear" that aired last night (Tuesday) on the BBC, he also managed to surprise the presenters.

Avra was actually asked to play "Two Truths and a Lie", a game in which you tell three things about your life and one of them is not true, but was also asked to do so without mentioning anything related to football.
He replied: "Selling drugs on the street, begging shop assistants to give me money and my first job was in a TV store. Only one thing is true."
Surprisingly, even of the show's guests who were left stunned, Avra recounted: "I did not sell TVs. I was only 13 and it became normal for me. "When my father left, my life became chaos, and football saved me."
Avra added: "At the age of 17 I went to Italy. My memory is that every time we sat down, we were served food. At one point I went to my room, called my mother and told God that here it is like heaven,
We are constantly served food and there are two knives and two forks on each side of the table.
That's my best memory. "
During his illustrious career, Evra, among other things, made 81 appearances for the French national team and with Manchester United won five championships and also the Champions League in 2008.
With Juventus he won two Italian championships and recorded a loss in the Champions League final.
