Jason McAteer has opened up on his struggles with depression - especially as his football career, that saw him write himself into Irish sporting history, ended
Jason McAteer struggled to hold back tears as he divulged his mental health struggles after retiring from football.
"It would be like maybe one show a week or maybe two shows a week. It was very sporadic. Days and days and days with nothing to do, yeah. "I remember thinking to myself, I'm just going to swing the car here and just end it. That's how easy it is. And I was fighting myself not to do it, fighting going ‘do it, do it, do it, do it do it’.
"I got to my mum’s. My mum lived 10 minutes around the corner and I knocked on a door and I remember just saying, ‘I can't do it anymore. That's it, that's it’. And I was just at that point.
