Andy Cole speaks open and honestly about his battle with depression | The Debate 

Great to see more blokes speaking up. 👍🏻

Andy Cole is such a likable bloke.

If Andy Cole doesn't inspire you then you're just not a true football fan.

What a player he was

Well done to Andy for speaking out, great striker and a great bloke.

God bless you Andy Cole what a player he was and that's from a scouser

Favourite player growing up . Doesn't get the credit he deserves

"Mind your language", it's nice how they still manage to keep it lighthearted!

Man like Andy Cole. Legend.

An Arsenal fan .......but Andy Cole was one of the best strikers England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 will ever produce......better than Harry Kane

He’s lost so much weight that he put on after his operation. Awesome person

Massive respect to him. That takes real bravery.

Cole to me growing up was a stone cold killer of a striker, so prolific. When Bellamy says people read him wrong, that's probably spot on. It never occurred to me that he was the sort of bloke who'd suffer from depression. It doesn't diminish my admiration for him at all. Still a winner

breaks my heart to hear that such an amazing man has suffered for so long. takes a lot of guts to admit you’re vulnerable

Going to see this legend tomorrow night xx I'm going through the same now... its so so hard.. we will all get there please God

Always loved Andy Cole. Also nice that he got a good reception at Newcastle.

My uncle ❤

True inspiration on and off the field! Any Cole legend x

Andy Cole legend and loved having him at Man City even how short it was but was brilliant watching him!

Top striker good to see.

I can see the pain in his eyes man

dis is the aspects of sport's isn't talked about respect 💪💪💪

Im an Arsenal supporter. He was a great player, and clearly and strong and resilient human being. We black people need to have the mental health conversation. Thank you for breaking the silence Mr Andy Cole. Wishing you well.

All the best Andy. Absolute legend at United. One of the best players during the most successful era we had. Please to have watched him

fair play to the man big brave step will help a lot of people all the best

Really good post. Men talking about being vulnerable. Nuff respect to the panel...Bellamy....kudos and Andy...well...lifetime respect is due.

we as men need to open up more.. don’t hide it, don’t bury it..

Absolute quality footballer - if you're too younger to remember him, just look at his honours, achievements & the history books. You can't get lucky to win ALL what he won & achieved. You've got to be quality, season in, season out and he was 🇯🇲🇬🇧

Well done Andy, great player and a great guy best of luck

LEGEND

One of the great strikers, loved him up at Newcastle if only for 1 and half seasons

What a player

Great person and player 🙌

Depression is a real and serious thing and people need to speak up more cause it really makes you feel better and you just gotta stay strong and try get better cause nothings impossible

Andy cole cole cole, legend

Im a newcastle fan and have nothing but great memories of colie....cant believe some still dont talk about depression even after garry speed...silence is the real killer

Wat a man wat a player

Best Wishes Andrew, very strong and honest guy

Andy Cole would be fantastic on the true geordie podcast!

Massive respect to not only Andy Cole but also Craig Bellamy for that great acknowledgement to Cole during this

"Keep the matter ticking" I like this phrase. Obviously a bright guy!

Legend

Hopefully Tyson Fury has opened the floodgates and more people like Andy come out and speak up

i remember as a united fab being annoyed seeing gillespie leaving united, and andy cole going to united... always liked gillespie... cole started slow at utd, and then got much better and then yorke joined too and it became surely the best strike double team in the premiership- and solksjaer & sheringham were the b side and were probably a better partnership than most outside the top 3 as well.

The presenter is a class act.

Seriously us men need to really come together and speak more coz we are expected to be this pillar of strength when in reality we are just humans and suffer like everyone else. You can’t be strong all the time and life is a difficult marathon of ups and downs and more downs than ups so you will be affected at some point. Don’t ever hide it. We got this boys!💪❤️👊

Andy Cole! Andy Cole! Andy Andy Cole! He gets the ball and scores a goal! Andy Andy Cole!

Quality player

Love Andy ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ was much better for us!

He's Outstanding

Great striker for Newcastle and Manchester Utd

Legend!

The body language on Bellamy when Cole was asked about his good rapport with the Newcastle fans made me laugh.

It is very hard to not get depression if you live in England, the food is terrible, and no sunshine 😎😎💪💪

I am from 2020

these guys have no idea what depression is saying things like "it's good to see you getting on so well, smiling ect..." Thats what people with depression do. They hide behind a smile

WINNER ,,,,,,,,NUFF SAID

Wish they was aloud to swear it’s after watershed why is it a problem?

"Bollocking" is a swear word? Not even Karen would of complained 🙄..

*Dwight Yorke*

Good subject matter but don’t you have enough videos titled “__________ speaks honestly/openly about __________”? Time to get your creative thinking caps on!

All this talk about mental health, yet fans are NEVER asked to stop their bile against players, WHY?!?!

Life is tough. There is only one thing that can bring true joy. Worldly pleasures do not satisfy. Jesus understands and cares and has answers. He has the power to work out your current situations. It’s a relationship, not a church. Not a religion that will make a difference. He’s waiting for you to come to him and not to fear. All the sin in the world would not stop him from wanting to be with you, for he is God of forgiveness and mercy. He too had a very hard life, for he went through betrayals, torture and suffering before he died. Lay it all down on the cross and have him take the pain and torment from you, that you have carried for too long. You have a very real enemy that wants you to believe you are to blame. This is most certainly a lie, Jesus can clarify to you if you come to him with your broken heart. He wants to forgive you and give you a brand-new start in life. He is waiting for you and have nothing to fear and everything to rejoice over. Come home and you will get a fresh new start. Jesus wants you to dream of what you always wanted, and to know he makes dreams come true. He gives you dreams and helps you fulfill them. Jesus created you with dreams and talents for you to fulfill. And when you give your life to him, he begins to lead you in the ways you need to go find fulfillment. He writes straight with crooked lines, each and every person is an individual. Different. Unique from all others. And therefore, there is no canned assignment. Jesus doesn’t make cookie-cutter Christians. Each of you are SO unique, and the mission he gives you is to fulfill your deepest needs and desires.

Jesus Christ is the curse of depression. You may laugh but He has done it and is still healing people. Believe in your Heart that He is Lord and confess that God Rose Him from the dead on the 3rd day after His death. He loves you and doesn’t want bad for you or anyone. He loves us but hates sin

take away harry kane's goals all you have is an Englishman who nobody can understand

Great player, unlike that ugly Neil Ruddock.

sat next to him on a plane. quiet man. doesn't like being called andy

Is this the male privilege everyone talks about?
