Don't know if anyone has missed this. I missed it until now.

10/10 to Kev for speaking up. An awful lot of people go through things like this, and never speak to anyone. I think it's positive that more and more people in the public eye are coming forward and talking about mental health problems. I do think that it's probably vastly more widespread than people realise, and the internet and social media undoubtedly make it worse, in my opinion, particularly for younger people feeling a pressure to conform. The more that feel able to come forward like this the better, altohugh I suspect with many it's not until they're on the right side of their issues that they have that capability.

Yes. I saw this article about a week ago, and thought it interesting that I had seen nothing on SV. Then I thought that maybe Keith had pulled it. If that is not the case then fair enough. Although, in my opinion, a rather personal thing, I have nothing but praise for Kev talking about this. When you think about the image that (I'm sure) we all have of Kev, it does make you wonder about the "quieter" players.

Well done Kev. In my opinion a truly exceptional guy who I hope remains with the club in some role once his playing days are over (somewhere around 2025?)
