Just saw his story on ITV news. Why do so many footballers have these sort of problems and is there anything the football clubs can do to prevent this?

Exactly this. Used to having a lifestyle most can only dream of. After retiring and doing a bit of punditry (if lucky) not having to be up at 5/6am for work, doesn't make for a regimented lifestyle. Your wife start to realise (before you do) that you're no longer the mutts nutts and won't turn a blind eye to your little indiscretions any longer and decides to cash in while you've still got a few quid. The slippery slope begins (if you're not already on it). The craving for being what you once were means you'll hang around with people who will pretend to be your friend (by this time you'll be happy to let them do it) and will use and abuse you without blinking an eye.Unless you've got friends and family who are strong enough to tell you the truth before it's too late then you're going to need a big shovel.Originally posted by loneranger View PostI suppose essentially they are just ordinary blokes that revert to type.

Leave it out, most on this thread making out it is reasonable to turn to drugs/drink after retiring because it is hard to adjust. Do me a farking favour, they have lived a very prestigious life that many only dream of. cant blame football because you are an adult who cant control himself.
Surely even the dullest and most brain dead footballers have some sort of interest outside of football. you have pretty much every single option open to you as you'll have the finances. And if you dont have the finances, tough sh!t, go get a job like the rest of the world has to.

As someone who has been in therapy for the past 8-9 yeara consistently, I will agree with you in general. There are some.tevhniques out there that can help but in general specifically in the situation I am in therapist wise right now, I don't have much faith in them. Simply a place to.talk, most of the progress comes from having that chance.Originally posted by Ramsey is god View PostHaHa, not for me pal. These counselors up there with psychics and fortune tellers in my mind.

If you ever feel the urge to work for the Samaritans i'd give it a miss mate, I'm not sure it would work out.Originally posted by Ramsey is god View PostLeave it out, most on this thread making out it is reasonable to turn to drugs/drink after retiring because it is hard to adjust.

"the poster formerly know as Ramsey is God" definitely has a ring to it.“He'll regret it till his dying day, if ever he lives that long”
