Wow ! How sad for him. Still, looks like he has come through it o.k., and I wish him well for the future. If I was him, I'd take a year out, and relax and enjoy himself with his wife and children.
Does he have a wife and children? The full story is now in the News. Very interesting reading, and completely honest.
I'm sure I saw him last match of the season carrying a child, and kissing a blonde lady after the final whistle, so just assumed they were his family - may be wrong
