Synopsis
Whether it is a short or long tale, there have been a number of different bizarre stories down the years. Take for example former West Ham United player Marco Boogers who ended up living in a caravan. On the other hand, there are those stories which are so weird even reading them leaves many in disbelief.
There was the story of the Chilean under 21 national side who were fined for simply laughing. In the majority of cases, this would have literally been laughed off but the powers that be were extremely serious on this matter. Who knows if it was to do with an Englishman, Irishman and a Chilean, the FA sanctioned the players due to their comic misdemeanours.
About Caroline Elwood-Stokes
Caroline Elwood-Stokes, former player of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues.
“As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
