He's got cojones for that interview - Spurs fans back Danny Rose

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been in the majority been rallying behind Danny Rose after his frank comments in today’s media.

The left-back who is on international duty with England ahead of the World Cup in Russia has publically opened up about his battle with depression caused by a lengthy injury lay-off and a death in the family.

Although Rose’s comments suggest he rests some of his injury blame with Tottenham as a club. The 27-year-old seeked medical treatment for his condition, which he has previously kept silent about, although he insists he is in a positive place ahead of this month’s World Cup in Russia.

Here’s a selection of thoughts from your fellow Spurs fans.

Agree with the sentiment but mental illness isn't a catch-all motivation behind every action. That wasnt an outburst on the training field it was an articulate, considered interview with a very clear agenda so I sympathise and applaud Rose for this interview but not THAT one.

Anything that enables and empowers awareness around MH issues can only be a good thing. Many men suffer in silence and damage those around them in the process. However using depression to excuse poor judgement doesn’t do a lot for the image of genuine suffering.

Really rate rose for that interview. He clearly shouldn’t have a future at spurs. But he’s got cojones for the interview and when he goes I’ll wish him and thank him for the arsenal goal always.
Brave boy
