What a load of crap. We hear this about failing top class football players all the time, like we should be sorry for them. bollocks!!!
They earn top money compared to the average fan who pays to watch them. What the feck has personal "Demons" got to do with it.
You think ordinary working stiffs don't have their demons? They are just expected to keep it to themselves and get on with their job/life.
If they don't they're out of work.
It should be the same for footballers
