More than 45,000 fans, friends and team mates paid their last respects to Germany's national goalkeeper Robert Enke at Hanover 96's stadium. Enke killed himself last Tuesday by throwing himself under a train on what was a sad day for anyone who watches or plays football.The death of Germany's number one goalkeeper with next year's world cup just 7 months away emphasised how awful the illness of depression is and the fact that the lives of famous and well paid footballers is often not rosy.
Perhaps next time we or the media slag of a player, we should remember they are human beings just like you and I.
