Current Yeovil captain & ex Barnsley, Northampton & Mansfield (to name but a few) has sadly died at the age of 32.

Played for Mansfield same time as Ben W I believe.

Love to his family, friends & colleagues.

Shocking news for someone so young. A big whole left at Yeovil FC.
RIP Lee.

I am genuinely concerned at the level of suicide in this Country currently. In my local county there is not a day goes by where there is at least one incident.
The stats for 20/21 will not make happy reading.

Suicide is the leading cause of death in men under 50. So check in on a mate, ask them at least twice if they are ok.
Showing vulnerability is a strength. Too many men suffer in silence

So sad. Condolences to his family. I don’t know about you folks but male trauma is a massively under-reported problem. Especially childhood sexual and physical abuse. It’s getting better in that guys are starting to open up and talk about it, but it was considered unmanly for so long.

Done a lot of work in this area and it’s heartbreaking but amazing when people are able to make breakthroughs.
