He was never afraid of a small club (inc. the Pox) or a relegation fight and I hope he finds plenty to fight for and recovers well now. Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Only Me on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 14:55:32 Good article here. http://www.people.co.uk/2012/01/15/former-premiership-star-dean-windass-reveals-he-tried-to-kill-himself-twice-as-he-battled-depression-102039-23699493/ That doesn't sound good. Hope he comes through this. Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: stfcinbmth on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 15:26:08 Passionate player, hope he gets through it
Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 15:51:20 Will always have a soft spot for Windass for the goal at Wembley that kept the Shitheads out of the Premier League.
Wish him all the best Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: hobodan on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 18:18:30 Lots of people 'try' to do this don't they, I mean how hard can it be?
If you genuinely tried & failed why would you tell a national newspaper? Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 18:46:05 To be fair if I had played for Oxford, I'd be considering topping myself.
In all seriousness though, I hope he can work through it Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Miles Mayhem on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 20:28:37 what a shame. Bet there is plenty of other retired pro's with the same thoughts
Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Coca Fola on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 20:34:16 Lots of people 'try' to do this don't they, I mean how hard can it be? Because you wouldn't have a chance to tell them if you were successful.If you genuinely tried & failed why would you tell a national newspaper? Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Benzel on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 20:35:02 Will always have a soft spot for Windass for the goal at Wembley that kept the Shitheads out of the Premier League. Wish him all the best What a beaut it was too. Get well soon Dean.

He gives his reason if you read it http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16566561.stm 'Exercising your demons', I think its called. Like Gazza talking about booze all the time.

Like Gazza talking about booze all the time. [pedant] It's exorcising, not exercising. [/pedant] Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: otanswell on Sunday, January 15, 2012, 22:30:33 Hope he gets better soon - having experienced dark times myself, depression is not a good thing
Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, January 16, 2012, 07:32:37 [pedant] It's exorcising, not exercising. [/pedant] Only a slight difference in meaning though!Title: Re: Dean Windass Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 22:11:20 You can tell the professional players who really enjoy playing football, and I think they find it harder to come to terms with retirement when it comes.
