Jon Walters
Just caught him on Goals on Sunday explaining what happened during his final year with us.
Explained that whilst in Cork on preseason, his elder brother died, his wife suffered a miscarriage & his daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis in the space of a week.
Know he’s opened up about his personal life previously but hadn’t realised so much had happened in short space of time
Edited: misheard the diagnosis of his daughter

Must have missed that previously.

It was a tough watch and Jon did very well to get through the interview as he did.Bin Ont Turf wrote:It was posted on here a couple of months ago.

He had it really rough, in such a short space of time.

Sad. Especially when many knew he did have problems.

Re: Jon Walters
Scoliosis -- curvature of the spine. Can be alleviated either by surgery, physiotherapy or more likely a combination of the two.

Re: Jon Walters
He'd opened up during his time at Burnley to Tony Livesey about losing his mum when he was very young. That interview was a tough one to listen to and I didn't know that Tony himself had gone through exactly the same thing as Jon Walters.

What hit him last summer came to light fairly recently when he did an interview on Irish television and it was linked on here.

Whatever you might have thought of him as a footballer, whatever you might wish to criticise the signing, you can't be anything but moved listening to him speak about such personal things.
