What! I've not heard about this. Nothing on news.

name rings a bell but I can't remember him playing

Oh dear, I do hope he pulls through.

Former Premier League footballer Clarke Carlisle is fighting for his life after being hit by a lorry.

Carlisle, the former Leeds, Burnley and QPR defender who went on to be chairman of the PFA and also achieved acclaim for his appearance on TV’s Countdown, was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary with life threatening injuries.

The incident took place near Bishopthorpe in North Yorkshire at 7.30am on Monday, with the road closed to allow the air ambulance to arrive at the scene. The reason for the accident remains unclear, however a police spokeswoman said they were ‘pursuing all avenues’.

He was on Question Time a while ago.

best of luck CC

afraid they are saying it could be attempted suicide Kenny on the football forum, linked to clark,s depression

really RL! You must be in a hell of a state to attempt that, as per poor Gary Speed.

That's terrible to hear. Depression is an awful illness.

said on news at 10 not life threatening injuries, seemed a decent sort of chap when i saw him on question time.
