Basically nothing to do with drinks or drugs, attitude problem stemming from inner difficulties. Alot has to be said for having players at home till they are at the right age. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/dec/17/george-green-ossett-everton-oldham-tranmere Are you for real?!

johnh Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I was interested to see that he had a spell with Ossett Town. I played for Ossett in the late 1960's for a couple of seasons, in the old Yorkshire League, before I moved south. Hope the lad gets sorted out.

Popular Post Louis Posted April 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5642661/Former-Everton-prodigy-George-Green-new-life-football.html ‘I have had problems with mental health,’ said George. ‘I’ve suffered from depression and addiction. I was on a downward spiral. From the age of 17 or 18, I knew there was something wrong. People around me knew, but I didn’t want to admit it. ‘While I was at Salford City, I tried to take my own life. That was an overdose. I went on an outrage and decided that was the best idea. ‘I took a lot of paracetamol, anti-depressants and strong pain killers. It was probably a massive cry for attention that I needed help. People knew I needed the help but I knew something serious needed to happen for me to get it. ‘Things weren’t going well at home. I wasn’t sleeping right. I was drinking too much. I’d seen crisis teams in hospital and they had turned me away. I had cut myself countless times and they turned me away, too, so I thought: “What have I got to do to get the proper help?” I was taken into hospital after the overdose. They put me on a drip and flushed it all out of me. ‘It has taken a lot of therapy sessions and going to see psychologists to get me to a better place. One said I was bipolar. In the past year, I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I have been on medication since then and it has been calm. Things have been going well. Home life’s going well, which plays a really important part. Things are on the up now. The medication I’m on keeps me to a level where I can be George Green and go and perform on the pitch and do what I do best. I’m fit again, I’m doing well at Nuneaton, I’m playing games, I have got into Jamie Vardy’s V9 Academy for the summer and I’m attracting interest from clubs in the Football League. I feel a million times better than I have done for a long while.’ Matt, Romey 1878, Quinn31 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not restricted to sportsmen Mark, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the same place and worse who don't have the escape of football ability. Not diminishing the lad's troubles but there are a lot people in a worse position. markjazzbassist, Matt, EFC-Paul and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
