    I have a problem with my speech and I get him, it’s sucks and is very depressing when you have to repeat the same thing multiple times because it wasn’t clear.

    People close to me have gotten used to it but when I’m with some stranger, it makes me anxious, this is probably one of the factors of my social anxiety.

    It’s such a brutal, cruel irony to see somebody in his line of work end up with a speech disorder. Particularly somebody as wonderfully lovely as Kammy. Reminds me of Bobby Heenan getting throat cancer and spending a year of his retired life literally unable to speak.

    Be kind to each other, the world is enough of a POS on its own.

    We are seeing too many football personalities in the UK struggle mentally after they retire, toxic culture within the industry is probably not helping at all. It is also is not surprising considering many of them have played a high intensity and adrenaline sport for many years and now they are not getting the levels of endorphin and adrenaline shocks like they used to, leaving them with more flat emotions and lower peaks. Just for fucks sake get these men the support that they need before it becomes potentially fatal like for Kamara here. It became fatal for Gary Speed, Gascoigne almost drank himself to death. These are just a few names of thousands who have suffered. Really cool that Chris Kamara is sharing his story because that spreads awareness, but more is needed.

      It’s also a sport that involves lots of blows to the head (both small like heading the ball, and large like head to head/leg) contact)

      I wouldn’t be surprised if a large number of footballers are suffering from CTE or similar.
