A 31 year old man, with a wife/kid, pretty much doing the dream career for so many young men and, for whatever reason, he's felt there was no way out. Timely reminder that mental health issues can hit people irrespective of their circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's to do with pressure. Even at Yeovil's level there are still thousands of people judging your every professional move, your life is a lot more open to the public than other jobs. If I make a mistake at 5-a-side I usually think about it, can only imagine what I'd be like with other people commenting about it. Plus, lockdown has been devastating for mental health. Known somebody who has taken their own life because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
