The life of a footballer may be an enviable one but with high rates of depression, divorce, addictions and bankruptcies the life of a retired footballer seems anything but. Having had most of their youth focussed on the game, and with thoughts of other interests regarded as a 'lack of commitment', case studies illustrate the trauma that follows either injury or retirement and the ease with which the sport can replace then forget about them.
