      Between him and Dele Alli, it’s amazing how footballers are finally willing to open up about mental health and issues like this on such a massive level. Like it or not, they have a massive platform, and their words do matter. Good to see them using it for good.

        The downside is that a player exposing such details allows an opposition player to gain material to psychologically manipulate said player. I mean, I wouldn’t limit it to just opposition players, even opposition fans will try to get in their heads using chants and shouts.

          Ramsdale’s probably learnt enough to get it to not bother him based on this article, but yeah that’s certainly a thing. I hope they just keep it respectable. “Two Andy Gorams” still one of the best bits of banter lol
