DEAN WINDASS SAYS HONEST CONVERSATIONS ARE KEY FOR GOOD MENTAL HEALTH
DEAN Windass has opened up about his experiences with mental health problems.
The retired football star, 56, was speaking at the Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust's annual meeting on Thursday.
In the Q&A with Trust Chair Caroline Flint, he was introduced as the scorer of the legendary Wembley goal that launched Hull City into the Premier League in 2008. Humbly, he described himself off the pitch as “just a lad off Hessle Road”.
He recalled he had always dreamed of playing for the club and his dad told him, “One day you will be famous’. Dean said his dad also warned him he might be treated differently and have a lot of hangers-on and he should “never change the person that you are, because what goes up must come down”.
