I think, for any man, whatever nationality. to admit he has a mental health problem should be applauded.
The male macho crap that is prevelant in most sports, must have made it very difficult to do so.
Don`t matter if he is Aus, English or South African, the guy needs help, has admitted it and perhaps give the guy a little credence rather than taking the piss.
I would have said the same if it was one of your guys, so no favouritism here Kev.
