A year ago this got released during #UEFAgrassroots week. I was apprehensive about doing it but so delighted I did. I have seen a lot of positive changes over the year. With people willing to speak out. Football has the power to change life’s so let’s keep making a difference ❤️

Still remember walking into Hampden Park with my dad & him saying ‘son I just need you to believe’ I can still close my eyes and see his face as he lifted me up above his head shouting ‘we’ve done it, we’ve done it son’ Miss you so much dad but what a memory 🥹 ❤️🐼🙏

Such a simple message ‘it’s ok not to be ok’ but what an important one. I wish I had asked my dad all those years ago was he ok, as today he might still be here ❤️ On #TimeToTalk Day please ask your loved ones are they ok as you might just save a life - Love and miss you dad

I can never put into words how much my dads suicide affected me 💔 I now know that I could have done more to help him with the right education and support. We need to do more to support mental health Stop for a moment and think could you help that one person 🙌 Miss you dad x

At the start of the @TheMasters I wanted to post this wee (thread) message as it brings back memories 😊 My dad loved golf (in fact all sport) & in particular he loved the magic of the The Masters. In 1988 this is just my memories of that last day.

In 1990 I got my exam results which were not great & left school at 15 with not many prospects. Lucky my mum never gave up on me & when I decided to try education again 10 years later she was right behind me. Find your own way, find people that believe in you & never give up 🙌

I have been through a lot of sadness in my life but don’t think I have ever been so upset and down after listening to that tonight 😔 All I want in life is to grow old with my wife, hug my family again and watch my children grow up happy. I hope history is kind on us all 🙌
