Very sad to hear this, superb player in his day, real shame drugs have taken such a strangle hold on his life.

Always seemed a quiet lad so it’s surprising. He was an incredible player for us and the fans will never forget him placing his boots in the centre of the pitch after his last game. We can only hope whatever happens regards prison, that he can get his head sorted and get his life back on track.

You can see from his twitter that he clearly has some sort of mental health issue. I'm sure drugs won't be helping either. Hope he gets the help he needs.

It’s drugs that are the problem I think, saw some disturbing videos a few years on social media.

Sad to see like has been said always seemed a quiet but likeable lad

Just read his tw1tter from Feb 2018 absolutely awfull hes definately in a bad place

That could always have stemmed from head trauma.

Never effected anyone else I dont think . Dallas has just made some bad bad life choices

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.

Like you said...model pro. So something made him go from that to this. I'm sure he didn't just wake up one day and say "i'm gonna try ice"

That's not a good read
He was a great RL player but his life has been on a downward spiral for many years.

For those defending his multiple indiscretions I would ask the question of what you would do as a parent if he was supplying drugs to your son or daughter?

Not sure anyone has defended him. I'm certainly not. I'm trying to find out why a model pro turns into this. If it was a player known to be a d!ckhead you would understand.

OMG head shots are now the excuse for all of the wrong personal life choices made by an ex player that choose to supply and sell drugs?


Dallas sadly has history since his retirement from the game that indicate that his mental health wasn't in a very good state and made plenty of bad choices?

Perhaps Gareth Ellis and JP could get away with robbing a bank and selling drugs ?
They both had plenty of head knocks too?

Are they obsessively posting for hours about government mind control? That's where Brett Dallas appears to be in his life. Regardless of the cause, it's pretty obvious he's far from well.
