He said, “I’ve suffered depression when I broke my leg in 2007 and at times now because I’m retired. In the daytime, the boredom sets in.
“Even though I’ve got some fantastic jobs, I’m not a footballer any more and that’s all I ever wanted to be. It is difficult.”

Robbie Savage has hit out at the Strictly Come Dancing viewers who complaiuned about his suggestive dance routine on Saturday night’s live show.
For the Halloween themed episode, the football star danced to Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’ and incorporated a few of the late singer’s signature moves into his choreography.
He grabbed his crotch a number of times, once while standing above Craig Revel Horwood on the judges table, and while the judge only scored him 4/10 for his efforts, Savage was more upset by the few hundred people that lodged a complaint with the BBC.

Ola chicos y chicas! Welcome to Unreality TV’s third week of Strictly Come Dancing liveblogs – and with no Edwina Currie, who’ll provide the cringes on this week’s show? Well, probably Russell Grant, who we heard described on Twitter as Christopher Biggins with even less dignity. Does that sound about right?
Tonight’s show kicks off with a group performance in an old Broadway stylee. We’re randomly thinking Brendan Cole’s new haircut makes him look like less of a preening peacock than usual.
