- 3 months today since my last bet πͺπ» I have been battling a lot recently mentally and usually gambling would be my βget outβ to forget about everything so Iβm proud to be going strong ππ»
- Iβll forever be in this mans debt for helping me enjoy football again and grow as a player but more importantly as a man how he has helped me off the field aswell as on it. Good luck gaffa ππ»
- Absaloutley delighted to have signed a new two year deal at notts π€ wouldnβt have wanted to go anywere else itβs been an amazing year which ended on a sour note! Canβt wait for next year already #youpies
- 3 years ago I was offered a short term contract as I was deemed to be not mentally strong enough to play in front of crowds up to 5,000 and I hope all the people coming out makes managers and clubs realise this isnβt the case ππ»
- Thank you notts fans for understanding me β€οΈ itβs been emotional π
- I continue to battle my own struggle day to day but I love my life and everyone in it! Anyone out there who is struggling please speak to someone β€οΈ
- Good luck @Official_NCFC today, really wish I could have been there but will only ever wish good for the club and fans π€π€
- Thanks for all your support over the years @Official_NCFC fans β€οΈ but itβs time now for a new challenge for me with @ChesterfieldFC really looking forward to getting back out there πͺπ»
- Thank you for all your messages β€οΈ The truth is, I donβt care what you think of me as a player but most of my messages have said I have helped people with mental health. That was my goal weather thatβs effected me negatively or not Iβm so happy I have helped some people ππͺπ»
- I want to say again, as I always have done, there is nothing to be ashamed of, speak up tell someone today how you feel and realise youβre not alone. 4 years ago around this time I was ready to take my own life. Now Iβm happy and smile every day. Keep fighting everyone β€οΈ
- I want to clear up that my mental health is as good as ever. Iβm out of favour and thatβs part and parcel of the game and Iβll continue to work hard and see where it gets me I just felt as though it was important to clear that up πͺπ»
- Hoping everyone is okay πͺπ» if anyone wants a chat let me know. Keep talking and being honest about how you feel right now. Stay strong β€οΈ
