Chris Mitchell article

Unfortunately Chris had a drink and drugs problem too. He often frequented nightclubs in Bradford with the other loanee from Falkirk (forgotten his name now) during his time here, and I personally know he was taking illegal party drugs whilst out, and would be at after-parties well into the following day. Clearly had a lot going on in his head.

 

Sad story…..Thanks for posting.

 

Or Stewart?

 

Sad story. I actually saw him playing for Clyde at Elgin in the 4th tier in Scotland. Must have been one of his last few games. You just don't know what people are going through at all.

 

That's who it was yes.

 

Bloody awful read that was.

Archie too liked a bit of white stuff apparently. https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/11258648.football-scout-died-from-sleeping-medication-overdose/

 

Wow didn't know that, can't remember seeing anything at the time..

 

Yes that's a hard read!! I can't imagine listening to that phone call......And fair play to his dad for doing the interview.....

 

Horrible story. Unless you’ve seen those close to you go through issues like this it seems so difficult to understand.

the human brain is so dangerous. Nothing suprises me that people do anymore. People can be good at hiding things for so long.

sorry tale, his family must have been utterly devastated.

 

Sad story. I remember Chris playing for City, I thought he was alright. He didn’t have much pace, but his passing was excellent.

I remember the game against Barnet particularly well (3 assists in a 4-2 win), and also his one goal for City against Rotherham, an excellent header.

When Parkinson came in he never really took to him and he only made the bench a few times after the Rotherham game, and never got on the pitch after that.
