Quote: Wolfbite "Andrew has battled Bipolar disease for many years. From the highs playing in big games with off the cuff moves to the lowest of lowe's where is options included suicide. He describes "Joey" as a sort of alter ego the face you see on TV etc. The wild side. "Andrew" side is the loving father and husband the family man side. Got his book superb read should anyone buy it.'"
It's strange that all of this came out after Johns got caught with an ecstasy tablet, sounds like media management to me, playing the card that he was forced to turn to drugs because he had such a miserable life. I reckon he was just a bloke who liked to party and had a bit of chemical assistance every now and then like half the population of the western world, and when the media started demonising him he got advised to start telling the world his sob story.
Remember when Gareth Hock got busted this season and one of his teammates (think it might have been O'Loughlin) was in the papers saying the game shouldn't turn its back on him, he needs the support to help him with his 'problem'....yeah right
oh come off it.
