    Sad story. I have to say I liked him and wish him good luck for the future.

    I hope he has turned a corner and can go on to have a successful career because there is a decent footballer in there somewhere.

    Same with George Green, really, it's sad to see inner demons wreck a potentially fruitful career.

    Hope both of them can kick on and gain some success (elsewhere, mind).

    I suppose living away from home can be hard for anyone especially youngsters. Drinking or gambling will probably be at the top of the agenda to kill time.

    sad read. I had a lot of time for Billy, thought he was a decent player. I hope we see him making a go of his career somewhere in the near future.

    It makes for very sad reading. Loneliness and depression are such hard things to talk about, and I imagine harder in a mans world. Explains a lot really, he was a talented player and loved watching him play, but then his form dropped quite dramatically. I so glad he is receiving help and support and wish him a speedy recovery and all the best for the future.

    Its a shame to hear but does explain why such a talented young player has struggled of late. But the good news is that hes opened himself up to it and hes getting the support he needs.

    I hope we see more of the fantastic player that we often saw in claret and amber - he was a joy to watch sometimes and I'd imagine he'll always be popular among City fans.

    Hoping he has turned the corner ... not just in football, but in his life in general

    Echo the comments on here. In his first season I thought we'd uncovered a real find and his goal against Leeds will live long in the memory. 2nd season he looked woeful at times so yes this explains a lot. Guess it's a reminder for all of us when we see poor performances on the pitch that they are human beings at the end of the day. Wishing Billy a speedy recovery

    'We were arguing a lot following a house move from Leeds to Bradford'

    Aye, that'll do it....

    Wives can tolerate adultery and men not doing the housework, but moving from Leeds to Bradford is unforgivable.

    On a serious note though. I wish Billy all the best. As many of us know, mental health issues can be devastating. I'm pleased to hear he is finally getting the help he needs.

    Good luck to him, I hope he is happy there!

    Conference South isn't that bad a level nowadays. The equivalent, Conference North, has teams such as Stockport, York, Darlington, Kidderminster and Guiseley in it.

    I hope Concord make a go of it and gain promotion to the National League.
