Depression in a footballers eyes...

Evening all

I found this article about a former pro footballer, who played for my team, Norwich City, about 15 years ago. The player in question, is a winger, Darren Eadie. Its an open and honest interview about his struggles with depression and panic attacks. Some of it may seem a little like self pity, but I think it is a bit of an eye opener.

I've read some of the stories from the likes of Stan Collymore, and also another ex Canary, Leon Mckenzie. I think the FA should offer more help for ex players who go through this sort of thing, along with gambling and alcohol related issues.
