Police detained him under the mental health act, after he was founded was wandering around in a tracksuit close to the M602 in Salford.What happened? Sorry my work browser doesn't allow Tweets to load on here.
The older footballers never experienced that sort of thing because they never made enough money to retire after playing. I worked with an ex Everton player who was also a Scottish international with quite a few caps. He was well into his 50s and working as a mechanical fitter. He enjoyed his playing career but made next to sod all money wise.Hard for sportspeople coming to the end of their career as it has been everything for so long.

They are absolutely tosspots..what on earth has money got to do with mental health....jeez....Fecking Daily Mail adding Lennon's wages to the tweet about this.
Scum bags! What's the point of that? The British press are absolute scum! I absolutely detest bad journalism.Fecking Daily Mail adding Lennon's wages to the tweet about this.
Yeah it's a bit scummy to do that. I don't really think papers should be allowed to report on the situation (definitely not name him) regardless of putting wages there. Doesn't really seem like it would help anyone.Fecking Daily Mail adding Lennon's wages to the tweet about this.
The only positive about that is that fans, "normal people", kids might find it easier to be open about mental health issues when they see that it's something their idol suffers from as well.Yeah it's a bit scummy to do that.

Yeah that's the counter argument and I'd hope if Lennon decided to do that in the future he got support from his peers which I'm sure he would. Just seems a bit harsh to not let him do it on his terms and instead the papers rush to report the story. The likes of Rio Ferdinand have opened up about mental health issues on their own terms so it seems a bit unfair and not really helpful to anyone at the moment to give Lennon that chance.The only positive about that is that fans, "normal people", kids might find it easier to be open about mental health issues when they see that it's something their idol suffers from as well.

My old youth worker and long standing football friend had been sectioned earlier this year with diagnosed schizophrenia. He is being medicated and not sure if and when he will be released. He was never a danger to us at football or to himself but was very delusional about his kids, couldn't hold a job, etc. Did your colleague/friend ever come out of sectioning?Sad news
Someone very close to me was sectioned many years back - it was an extremely tough time. Hope Lennon gets through it quickly.
