TBF I've listened to a 'serious' Collymore debate about depression on TalkSport a few months ago & the lad is seriously intelligent about a lot of things, & speaks very well (albeit in an annoying fucking accent) & candidly about his depression & how it effects him. His doctor was also on & described some of his symptoms too.
Whilst I think there's some of the things you can attribute him doing to simply him being a cock, it's only fair to consider that his depression his contributed to much of his behaviour.

Well yes, and that is partly what I was getting at, although I hold my hands up and admit that I didn't put it very sensitively, and I am sorry for that.
The point was that if someone is intelligent, articulate but has particular health issues then there is little a football club can do to help matters. If someone just likes going out drinking and partying then the treatment by the club can be crucial.
