People often say to me that it's great players can now open up about their struggles.

Can they really? I certainly wouldn't encourage it

I’d honestly say the exact same about mental health. When a player opens up everybody will praise them for their bravery and honesty in the moment.

But the minute a discussion about something like being captain/crucial penalties comes up you can guarantee they’ll be a lot of people questioning wether they’re mentally strong enough.

People laughed about Paul Mcgrath saying he's won MOTM whilst drunk and he's talking about it deadly serious about what a serious issue he had.

He was suicidal and played games with bandages on his wrists from slitting them.
