I wonder if this will be the start of more 'what the fuck has he got to be depressed about....millonaire footballer..blah blah blah' rants?

or those peculiar 'i heard the reason he tried to kill himself was.......' 'jokes' 

 

 

or will he be excempt due to being an ex player and fan favourite?

Nae good news.

 

He's fair game for jokes though.

 

Might cheer the millionaire ex-footballer up.

I have every sympathy for him, and I hope he gets the help he clearly needs.

 

But, why's he bleating about it in the tabloid press? "Tried to hang myself with a bed sheet but it was too long etc etc", fans favourite or not it will still sound like attention seeking to some.

 

Clearly a cry for help and I sincerely hope he gets it.

I just want to know why.
