Last week football in Germany was brought to a standstill by the sad news of the passing of Robert Enke. Only 32 years old, the national keeper took his own life after years of suffering depression. It seems that only very few were made aware of his condition – his closest family members, some medical practitioners and one or two friends. For the rest of us he was a talented keeper who was held in high esteem by teammates and fans alike.
“Don’t just think about what you can see. Also consider what is part of each one of us – doubts and weaknesses. Football isn’t everything.”
RIP Robert Enke.
