Dean Windass

In a bad place. Tried to top himself according to the beeb
 

Dean Windass

Takes some serious balls to release that in the press. Hope he can get well as soon as possible.
 

Dean Windass

Bad times for him,hope he gets through.Expect Peirs Morgan will be sympathetic..

I really understand & feel sorry for anyone suffering from depression. It does take alot to come out and admit you are struggling, there is only so much 'acting' like everything is normal one can do. You feel a failure, useless, why bother, but the main thing is to tell someone. Do not keep it in, things will only become worse. The thoughts become worse and harder and harder to deal with. Please, if anyone is suffering there are people out there who will listen, talking really does help. You are not alone.

If you need advice please feel free to PM me.

I had to guide my Mum through two periods of depression. So also if you are helping someone who is suffering from depression don't feel you have to do it on your own.

Sad story does anyone know if if is still doing games for Sky, he was damn right entertaining and one hoped that the mickey take from the studio was all part of the show. Don't feel so sure now and want to hug him.

Great post, fully agree.
 

Dean Windass

Chris Kamara mentioned it on Goals on Sunday he said that he was working with him and his wife to help him through his battle.very sad times for him and his family.
 

Dean Windass

My best friend had a very severe bout of depression not so long ago, it really shocked me to the core how a supposedly sane and smart (a barrister no less) guy could fall apart like that. Thankfully he had the support of a good network of friends, including myself, to snap him out of it - snap being the wrong word as it took a good six-to-nine months for him to fully recover. A good support network is paramount. Managed to ween him off the SSRI the docs were very eager to give him too.
 

Dean Windass

poor old Windy. a great character. you can beat those bastard demons bruv i promise you. get better soon.
 

Dean Windass

Always gave us a good game. A lower league hero tbh. Good luck to him
 

Dean Windass

..........good luck to the fella..........
 

Dean Windass

Very good player. Hard as nails with a great personality. That's the thing with depression, you can't come up with a profile for possible sufferers.

Best wishes to Dean.

I know how he feels, still going through it but beteer than last year, its a terrible problem
Good luck to him, Im sure now he has made it public he will get the help needed.
 

Dean Windass

I think most supporters really respect this guy and the all out effort he put into his game. I wish we had a player of his quality a real battler on the pitch. Now he has his biggest battle. Good luck mate we are with you all the way. Amazing how many sportsmen have suffered with this awful complaint.

Excellent post 1markbee :yes:
 

Dean Windass

I hope he doesn't start thieving from Tesco's self service as a result.

Morgan was unreal in the week. Jumped up and talentless Pr*ck.

Windass always came over as a great bloke, 100% genuine. Hope things get better for him.

I couldn't work out if he was being serious or not, if he was over Flintof's depression then it was fairly unbelievable and shows how far we have to go to understand this illness.
 

Dean Windass

Dean has always been good valuie for money at Griffin Park. I seem to remember him bearing his arse to the Paddock after receiving treatment in front of the Paddock. Greenholme Bee declared his love for him that day!

I wish him the best of luck.l

oh on that freddie flintoff documentary on bbc this week? some fairly interesting interviewees.
yeah i was suprised at Piers Morgan's ignorance. Freddie was a bit of a melt though (in that interview in particular), which also suprised me.
also i was worried FF was a bit too keen to jump on the depression bandwagon.

anyway, get well soon Dean Windass.
 

Dean Windass

Perhaps the club could offer him a job working with our strikers, even if only part time. Would give Dean some purpose in life, and you never know his experience could be an invaluable boost for Clayton, Gary and Mike.

It was the game against Barnsley in 2006. I think his shorts had ripped and he had to change them.He responded to the hoots of derision by bending down and showing his arse.The paddock roared it's approval at that and Deano gave a great smile and wave. A real character.... hope he gets well soon.

This was the exact moment the Paddock finally came out of the closet.

A truly good posting. You put in a few sentences what it really means for those suffering with depression. I do, like others on here, admire your total understanding.

Yeah, I'd have thought he would've ended up back at one of his former clubs as a coach, but maybe he hasn't done his badges yet, or he couldn't bear to be working with players and not being able to take part.
 

Dean Windass

Get well soon Deano.
 

Dean Windass

The problem with illnesses like depression is that no one can ''see'' it. If you break an arm or leg, everyone knows. Depression is an awful illness which can be triggered off by anything. The mind is a very powerful weapon. We all get low at times. I lost my beautiful partner allmost 3 years ago, and even now I still have a little cry if for example a song comes over the radio which reminds me of her.Like everyone else (And it's really nice to see Dean getting these messages of support) let's all hope he gets well soon. There is help out there, and this ilness can strike the toughest of men/women. Didn't Frank Bruno have the same problem a few years ago?
Anyway Dean here's wishing you a speedy recovery all the best fella.
 

Dean Windass

I do hope he turns it round. Thought he was great on Sky Sports but did worry how he took it when the Stein laughed at his reports...yet he was part of the prog...come back soon Dean

Causing a stir on Twitter as he can't tell the difference between a tweet and a direct message...

a stir? I am sure that's Lawrence number.. they played together at Bradford... looks like a bit of fun..
 

Dean Windass

Would be funny if that wasn't his number..
 

Dean Windass

Read a Tweet from Windass where he said that he'd just given out a mates number, must be this.
 

Dean Windass

Poor old Windass, was a cracking player.
Remember him getting a hat trick in a 0-3 humping at Griffin Park. (22 years ago apparently :shocked:)

My cousin (still a ST holder) was mascot that day and my aunt had told him he brought the team their luck... he cried his eyes out.

Was the Guest Speaker at Aberdeen FC Players Dinner I attended pre season. Made himself look a bit of a nob most of the evening.
