To be fair football is one of the only jobs where you could do this, with the amount of money he gets. Most other people would have to arguably work harder.. But good on him. I hope his son gets better, nice to see he recognises there's more to just football

Having gone through the sort of trauma a father never wishes to go through with both of his kids, I can empathise with the guy, there are times you feel despair beyond belief.
I wish his son a speedy recovery, and the family the strength to deal with what are going to be some very trying times for them all
