Mental issue thing has been purely rumour so far with no substance unless I missed something. Anyone?

True. Didn't something happen to his family in Mali also by all accounts?

Not sure, that was rumoured as well. He did an article for the telegraph saying reports he had depression were "ridiculous". Went to France for a "personal family matter" for a few days. Maybe we will find out someday exactly what went on.

Bloke used to crack me up, proper nut nut. Always will have a soft spot for him.

Considering how he kept getting red-carded it was clear he already had temperament issues. Apparently he then lost family members during the Mali civil war, the trauma of which would have only compounded his mental health state.

Where did that family members dying in the war story come from?
Cant find anything online.
Only him denying any depression story.
