On Radio 5 now talking about footballers handling depression. Coming across well.

I wonder how depressed Joe Allon was when he landed one on him.

I wonder how depressed Joe Allon was when he landed one on him.

Long time ago but didn't Allon have it coming?
Story I heard was Allon had been dishing out loads of stick to Bennett for yonks and yet when Bennett retorted and embarrassed Allon he lunged in with a dreadful tackle. Bennett got up and lamped him him - is that not true?

 

[North London Bee]

The only thing depressed was Joe Allon's cheekbone!!

I was on a coaching workshop where Mickey presented, he's now head of player welfare at the PFA. Lots of well articulated points about emotional and mental resilience needed by aspiring players and professionals.

Did he offer any help as to how to know when a player needs an arm around the shoulder, or a right-hook in the jaw?

 

[Heston Bee]

Funnily enough, no.
People do move on, and from what I see and hear the PFA's player welfare is well thought of and valued.

Met Joe Allon once. Obnoxious and hateful both.

He could have done serious damage to his hand given Allons choppers !?

 

[walterbee]

Mr Bennett now working for the PFA and is a true gent helping other players who get into difficulty one way or another. Hope his knee op is now well on the mend.

 

[Mark H]

On football focus again talking about mental health with footballers. Chris Kirkland was featured who packed in to protect his wellbeing.

I heard it was because Allon was two-footing junior players in training...

I heard similar that Allon was a laugh a minute when the centre of attention but a bully and Bennett decided enough was enough.

 

[difford]

Mickey has now completed his doctorate of education, so is Dr Michael Bennett now and still director of player welfare at the PFA.
How many ex Bees have doctorates I wonder?

 

[Untouchable]

Well done Mickey. Great achievement ?

I see from his Twitter that he was delivering a well-being session at the Norwich training ground today. Hopefully preparing them for a thumping defeat on Saturday.

 

[ruislip bee]

Can't remember. Did he hit Joe Allon or did Joe hit him? Which ever way a broken Jaw was involved iirc and a delayed start to the new season.

Seeing as JA suffered the broken jaw it's safe to assume that The Good Doctor Bennett landed one on him.

Remember Joe trying to point out that he had strong competition in the manhood stakes….. when the fans were singing mr. Gayle’s song. ? ? ?
