Hit rock bottom and seems to be getting back on track.
Good luck to him. He was never a player I particularly liked or admired but with what he's been through in losing his wife, who knows how any of us would react when faced with a similar set of circumstances?

Yes you've got to feel for the chap
4 kids to feed with no mother,gambling and alchoholism as his crutches
I hope he makes good decisions in the future and stays off the nags and the booze
-
Tragic, hope he pulls through this
-
Hardly alcoholism is it? His wife died, he was in bits so he drunk a bit. Think a lot of people would have done the same. Hopefully someone will give him a chance if he wants to get back into football on the coaching side.
-
alright then not alchoholism
just standard 'Scottish level of drinking as your wifes died'

Dunn, the story doesn't say one way or the other.

they mention alcoholism. A bit sensationalised i think, but nowadays if you go for a drink after work you're verging on ending up drinking meths in a shop doorway according to the media

Arguably the most Scottish looking person on the planet
Sounds like the surgeon was a butcher by trade

Rehab centres drumming up business I think.

True, but that doesn't mean that alcoholism isn't a serious problem that ruins the lives of sufferers and their families.

Poor bugger, I cant even imagine what he's been through. God bless him and his kids

Mel Gibson for one. It turned him into an anti-semite.

Bereavement, alcohol and spread betting. That's a bad combination.

Best of luck with that tricky road... was he more of a strawberry blonde?

Best of luck Colin. I hope the future turns out better than the last few years.

Seconded.

Couldn't stand Hendry as a player but nobody deserves the personal problems he has had in the last few years.
-
For the young fans he is like Scottish version of Martin Laursen. Good player.

If you trace this story back to its root cause, it should serve as a wake up call to women of a certain age who think that going under the knife is the answer to the remorseless march of time. And indeed to the wealthy male partners who fund it.
I'm genuinely sorry for Hendry and his children and don't want to trivialise their loss, but I'm sure if he could turn back time, on reflection his wife's middle-age spread wasn't that bad.
