Title: The Big Interview: James Coppinger
Post by: VivaRovers on May 17, 2019, 10:14:17 am
If you need something to distract you from the nerves of this evening, we've just put the fanzine's issue 100 interview with James Coppinger up online.

The Big Interview: James Coppinger (https://popularstand.wordpress.com/2019/05/17/the-big-interview-james-coppinger/)

It's a long read, but a fascinating one, particularly around the mental side of the game.

Very well done Viva, what a brilliant read!  I think we all run out of positive words to describe our legend.

I really love how he isn't afraid to be honest about the dark times he faced and a great time to publish his words and advice with it being mental health awareness week.
I have been suffering hard with depression since the birth of my little girl just over a year ago and it took me months to admit that i had a problem and would have never dreamed of talking about it out loud.  Happy to say i am now on the road to recovery and will now always be first to give the same advice of our James.

Feeling very positive about tonight now! COYR!!!

That's a great read, cheers Glen.
The Toyzrus bit is hilarious, but just humanises him moreso.
