Quote: Egg Chasing "Persistent headaches could lead to an addiction to painkillers and that in turn could lead to worse.
Of course he's made some bad choices and I'm not looking to defend him here, but I also wouldn't be surprised given everything that is coming out about head issues if that wasn't the start of a very bad journey for him.
It's not like he was known for it while he was over here like other players may have been.'"
You could be right but you’re clutching at straws imo and it would be a pretty naff excuse, there is also a big difference between players enjoying stuff on a weekend to becoming an addict to a really heavy drug and having their life ruined. Either way it’s horrible and a massive shame, by all accounts he was a model professional over here and kept his nose clean, was a great player too, I remember the first season at the JJB and it seemed like every week he would either make/score a long range break/try. Hard to have too much sympathy though.
