Really sad to hear this, and a moving facebook comment from his wife.

Could be a long road to recovery, hope he gets the best professional support available as well as that from his family and friends.

See 2nd post on this thread

Doesn't really answer the question.

TBF, unless Seymour himself pops online, how can anyone on here answer that question?

James Smailes appears to believe it was a suicide attempt. He got into a bit of an argument on twitter with someone who was having a go at him for tweeting Brett a get well soon etc message.

My heart goes out to Brett, his wife and family. I know only too well how depression can affect the life of a person and those around them. Having to witness my daughter who is only 19 struggle to deal with depression for the past 3 years is heartbreaking but with the right care it can be managed. It is such a misunderstood illness which can affect anyone. Get well soon.

Smailes said something about a comment posted by Seymours wife on facebook regarding all the fans regarding all the get well soon messages

Just for my clarification, are we suggesting that he attempted suicide by car crash?

I was shocked to hear this news last night. This is a very cruel and devastating thing to suffer from. I hope he and his family pull through this and see brighter days. It is at times like this when the club, his family and friends need to remind him that things are never as bad as they seem.

Whether back in Australia or here in the UK I hope he finds the support network he needs. Best of luck to him and his family.

Some may be, I'm not

What is his wife referring to in the message when she says "... my husband was so desperate & could attempt such a horrific thing" ?.

I wish him well.

It just proves us supporters of all clubs can be complete idiots at times.

Best wishes to Brett and all his family. Hopefully he'll get all the help he needs to get his life back on track be it here in England or back home in his native Australia.

Easty

For me it shows a guy with pride who is obviously trying to do well for us but for whatever reasons it isnt working and its hit him very hard. I already had respect for him and wasnt in the brigade of people slagging him off pre-accident but that respect has gone up a great deal and hope he can get well very soon.

Who is the 'we'?
