Tony Adams, the former England footballer, has sold his eight-bedroom Cotswolds home and relocated to London with his wife, Poppy Teacher. The move comes as Teacher, 52, begins a master's degree in early modern history.
Adams, 59, stated that the sale of the home, which he and his wife purchased in 2002, marks a "new era" for them. The property, located near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, featured extensive grounds, a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, and a two-bedroom cottage. Adams, who promoted his new book, "1996: Reflections On The Year That Changed My Life," at a luncheon in Westminster, explained that he and his wife are currently renting while searching for a new home in north London.
Teacher described her decision to pursue higher education, telling Adams she wanted to study early modern history. While Adams playfully questioned its monetary value, she clarified that she is pursuing a master's degree, not a PhD as he sometimes jokes. She expressed a desire to "use her brain again" and to embrace a more active London lifestyle, including visiting galleries.
