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’.
One of the good guys in football who has had problems. Best wishes and you were part of the fantastic spirit created at Burnley. Get well soon and emerge from this darkness.

He must have been the person with the least talent ever to get a gig on the telly...
Unless you count every single Liverpool player ever to retire that seems to walk into a TV Studio..
The basic requirement to earn the mega bucks seems to be in inverse proportion to your medal cabinet...

What I do not like is people being promoted due to their colour /ex football club or even because they went to school with certain people...

That he suffers from depression, has attempted suicide and that he needs some professional help? Neither are the media. All claiming it was an "accident". Perhaps it was an accident, but the more that his mental health condition is skirted around, the more it will just replicate mental health stigma and make it harder for people like Clarke Carlisle, Gary Speed, Robert Enke, to seek the professional, medical help they need.

The newspapers are not saying that this was a suicide attempt, but they have written about his battle with depression and his previous suicide "attempt".

Walking on the A64 at 7.30 in morning and hit by a lorry, doesn't exactly sound like a usual situation for sure.
Only just noticed that James Wade the top darts player was also a sufferer from severe depression issues also, bi-polar in his case - seems these sportsmen and women are quite prone, but guess similar % in all of us. Difficult to say what would help though, other than the individuals getting the help as said above. Notice that Clarke Carlisle was supposedly out about his depression though, and had been through therapy once, so shows how it may be a long haul thing. They live odd lives sometimes these pro sports players, especially when it ends.

Hope Clarke Carlisle gets through this and, just as importantly, his family and friends.
A lot of crap gets written about depression; people think that because someone gets paid a year's wages a week they shouldn't be prone to it. It doesn't work like that.
The best summary i ever heard was from Stan Collymore who speaks eloquently about the subject. I will try to explain here in simplistic terms:
Thought processes are basically a series of chemical reactions in the nut. Imagine your brain is spaghetti junction in Birmingham. Normally, positive thoughts about yourself, travelling down the M6, go straight along the motorway and you feel good about what you have done, having got straight through Birmingham with no hitches... (if you take the toll road you have had a toot of charlie, to boot!) If you suffer from depression the thoughts get caught up in a traffic jam and don't get through to the other side of town; they get siphoned off and could even end up in places like Wolverhampton or Walsall. That is when you start to feel bad about yourself despite everything. It is difficult for people on the outside to imagine why you are feeling down but it is still the case; the brain has diverted the positive thought chemicals down the wrong path.
Over simplistic, I know, but true, nonetheless.

My family members have indeed given their lives (NEVER AGAIN) so that we are here today and yet people "grieve" over people that they have never met and never given a passing thought to..
Pathetic.....
I see the usual Liberals are on...People live and people die...My family members have indeed given their lives (NEVER AGAIN) so that we are here today and yet people "grieve" over people that they have never met and never given a passing thought to..
That explains why Stan was so keen to beat up women does it Inspector...
Another pathetic Liberal poster..
How come Stan Collymore is able to be in the media and Ched Evans despite having an appeal has been hounded out of football..
Is it really that black and white.....

Incorrect. I am, however, obviously stooping down a level or two to converse with you.

And get your punctuation right as you seem to have an excessive use of the apostrophe....
And a lack of insight in when to use a capital letter...
And please do not quote me when you "top" yourself after this mild rebuke....

I think most sportsmen and women suffer with retirement. Often they don't have the skills to get by in the real world and when once thousands cheered them after a few years no one would notice them in Tescos.
You'd have thought a wealthy trade union like the PFA would be well versed in helping retired players. Maybe they are, maybe Clarke just slipped through the net.

I have read every newspaper this week and this forum and nowhere can I find what actual injuries he has sustained............. they started off critical, then went to non life threatening, then serious but stable, I think Wednesday he was in for surgery but no one seems to know what is injuries are?

Oh, what "excessive use of the apostrophe" are you referring to?

Think the lack of information about injuries is because it is a private matter concerning the family. General public don't have any right to know. Looks like media treating case with a modicum of respect.

hornetman, nice to hear you've been reading all the newspapers this week - getting multiple accounts of events and using these to form your own opinion is the likliest way to reach a balanced and accurate understanding of events. Of course, you never have, or ever will, see the details of peoples injuries at the time of suffering them. completely confidential.

usualy attention seekers have mental issues or their life has become so boring they have to find opportunities like this to ruffle up some excietment.

I personally do not give a f uck whether the overpromoted ex footballer lives or dies..
That is not the point..
The point is that people do live and die..
And in this age everyone has to grieve over people that they have never met and have never achieved much...
He was an average footballer and a very poor pundit....
An average man in the street that was overpromoted...

So he has been caught drink driving again, having been convicted and banned in 2011. He realised his pundit career would now be finished and that he had brought shame on himself and family and looked to end it all. I think that's a fair guess at what's occurred.
Good job he didn't kill or injure someone else when he decided he couldn't be bothered paying for a taxi. And he gets a minutes applause, laughable.

How's the Lorry driver doing? Prob an immigrant anyway so homefortea can post a whole lot more drivel about that to show what an empty life he leads. The way he worked an anti liverpool theme into this thread so early really is remarkable. To think this man once had friends and family that loved (or at least said they did) him - now they just tolerate him and his nonsense and wait for him to die. Put like that i can see why he spends so much time on here trying to upset people!

Just hope that Clark has not been promoted to a better ward due to the fact that he is a minority..
Why not as he built his career on that..
FACT...

H4T,lives in isle of man,cleans gents toilet there,thats why no posts during toilet opening hours,hence air fare.A question for you. On a previous thread h4t claimed he lived in a £500,000 house,then told us he can step out of his flat without being mugged.so (a)has he forgot where he lives (b) owns 2 homes or (c)talking absolute b****ks again.Regarding his hatred of scousers this stems from the the fact all scousers are always making a mess in the public toilets in douglas.the forum is full of threads were this beast has hijacked the decent posts with his vile comments ie all scousers and geordies are all unemployed,thiefs,alcholics and drug addicts,dont worry though he will move on to some other club or city.

FAO acquiesce...How many people from Liverpool have you actually met or know?
I'm a blue and hate everything red but any normal Liverpool fan is sorry for what happened at Heysel. What happened there wasn't meant to happen and now-one set out with that intention ( even total kn0bhead, hardcore 70s-80s hooligans expected something like that to happen )
You are a total ignorant t1t, i'm afraid.
