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.

It's good that his dad had the strength to write about him in this way. Hopefully it might help another family who may have similar issuesStoneski, WilsdenBantam and Bantam25 like this. -

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.

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.
