Kirkland and depression

[joecity]

A very good interview with Chris Kirkland about his ongoing battle with depression. He had so much potential as a youngster, his career didn't hit the heights it had the potential to, and all along he has had an invisible battle. Good luck in the battle, Chris.

Good piece that. Good luck to him. Footballer's are just everyday people who are better at football than other people.

Yep. Chances are, there's people reading that thinking "how can he be depressed on 40k a week". But it doesn't work like that.

Whenever I run half marathons, my charity is always MIND. It's one of the bleakest illnesses around (sorry if illness is the wrong word) and anyone suffering to any degree gets best wishes from me.
