Interesting little article by DB: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-battle-mental-illness-drewe-broughton/?published=t

Mad Cyril and I sponsored Drewe's sweatband back in the day.

Probably an unpopular opinion but this just seems to reflect how he was when he was playing, thought he was better than everyone else when he wasn't. He always came across as lazy and arrogant and I think he does again here, but adding the mental health part means he is "brave".

Hence the white boots.

There's a few minutes on Drewe on the Guardian Football Weekly Podcast re bullying in football around the 40 minute mark.

One of the nicest players, I have ever met on and off the pitch, very sad to hear another person suffering from this awlful illness and hope he can become a good ambassador for Mental Health

Never saw him as lazy in fact the reverse a player who gave his all, but maybe not the most gifted in the game, but then there are many in the game who make a living

All the best Drewe

Good old Drewe...Quite clearly has a lot more innate intelligence than ever he did as a pro sportsman so good luck to him...Good work

Didn't get an invite then? Apparently he didn't score that night either.

I remember they were good mates , in fact they called themselves Batman and Robin coz they used to knock about together.

I bumped into a crest fallen young Kights who had just been refused entry coz of his age to a nightclub in Chelmsford that i was going into. Luckily i knew the bouncer so got him in + he bought me a beer ( Kights, just broken into our 1st team was on soft drinks)
When I told him that i had a £20 bet with a mate that Kights would score more goals for us than Drewe that season , Kights was amazed i had that much confidence in him ( I lost the bet !!! )

Apologies if already posted, but Drewe will be at the Hall on Jan 22nd v Luton signing his new book and meeting fans

Mine came very quick via his web page ( Yes I am emailing about the book, before any lewd comments )
