PFA to send depression advice to former players

The Professional Footballers’ Association are to extend the circulation of their booklet on handling depression and make it available to all 50,000 ex-professionals in the wake of Gary Speed’s death.

The PFA had sent out the 36-page booklet at the start of the season to their 4,000 members, partly in response to the deaths of Rushden keeper Dale Roberts and German international keeper Robert Enke.
