Synopsis
The history of football is littered with legendary names: Greatest ever lists usually include the likes of Pele, Maradona, George Best, Ferenc Puskas, Franz Beckenbauer, Eusebio, Alfredo Di Stefano, Johan Cruyff and, in the interest of fairness, Lev Yashin, the legendary USSR goalkeeper.
In more recent times, the likes of Ronaldo, Zidane, Oliver Kahn, Rivaldo, Cannavaro and many others, will surely share a similar fate.
In truth, all of these names rightfully deserve their place in history. All possessed undoubted ability, showcased their talent consistently, and achieved great things for club and country alike, usually as the stand-out performer.
There is no questioning their places in footballing history; they have all earned them.
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.”
