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.Comment

unfortunately there is only a few vacancies in the game available when players hang up their boots. For many they just can't adjust to life when they finishI must away now, I can no longer tarry

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.Comment

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.Comment

My question was is there anything the clubs can do to prevent this? With more and more money in the game I can see this problem getting worse.Comment
