Jumping in front of a train whst a coward , now his daughter is going to find the news out eventually, imagine the impact in her , holy shit the selfish acts of one person will contribute to downfall of others soon
14 years already… Rip
I hope hes reunited with his daughter, RIP
I remember very vividly how discussions around the football business erupted and how ppl had hoped we as a society would also be more open towards mental health related issues.
While I do think society as a whole has become more accepting and more open (altho even that isnt nearly where we need to be, specifically in Germany), the football business has largely forgotten this incident and I think the way Maguire is treated publicly is a perfect example of failing to learn lessons.
We only talk about treating footballers as humans when tragedy happens, but until then they’re merely objects for entertainment
100%
I always think its changed, but then i remember that social media probably just made it much much worse. Maguire is a perfect example, but dele alli or sancho probably also dont/didnt feel great being criticized 24/7
The whole attention seeking culture of the internet where the loudest voice gets the most attention leads to bullying being so incredibly accepted for some reason
Not saying im perfect, but i really dont like how accepted it is to casually have the entire internet bully certain players week in week out. I dont think most people could handle what theyre going through
Robert Enke was a great goalkeeper and an even better person (here is an article on how Enke saved the career of a young Sven Ulreich when he went through tough times after being harshly criticized).
His story is all too human and shows how depression can get us all no matter how rich or what status we might have. Please get all the help in the world if you feel like you are depressed. There is no shame in any of it.
This also a reminder for us fans who should always realize that players are also just humans.
R.I.P Robert. German football deeply misses you
RIP Robert Enke I feel sorry for how his life turned out
Police confirmed a suicide note was discovered but would not publicise its details. His widow, Teresa, revealed that her husband had been suffering from depression for six years and was treated by a psychiatrist. After the death of his daughter Lara in 2006, he struggled to cope with the loss.
Once you lose a child, your life will never be the same, no matter how much money, success and friends around you.
RIP
Agreed. I’ve seen it firsthand with my younger brother and what it did to my family. There is not a single pain that comes even close to losing your child way before their time. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
Not that words mean much, but I’m sorry for your loss.
That’s the one reason I cut some slack to CR on his meltdown before going to Saudi Arabia. Yea he has personal responsibility for the bridges he burned, but I can understand to some extent why he wasn’t thinking with clarity.
rip Robert Enke ❤️🙏🏻
I don’t like this losing expression. As if they’re a faliure.
A Life Too Short - The Tragedy of Robert Enke is an essential read
looks like he needs to take a shit
I still remember 15 year old me sitting home at my tv playing some games when I heard the news come in. Kept telling myself that this surely isn’t real but the realization soon settled in and it was hard for me to not cry. Me and my mom ended up joining the walk in hanover to the stadium and signed the book of condolences and I ended up watching the memorial in the stadium on tv.
RIP Robert, you will always be remembered as one of the greatest goalkeepers that I was glad to witness.
Remember it like it was yesterday. No one should go through all that anguish. And FUCK depression
14 years ago, I was 12 years old without a care in the world. I heard about Enke’s passing in the news, and my child-self could not fathom how one could possibly make that decision. 14 years and many pivotal moments later, and even though I can’t claim to understand what he went through as an individual, I would like to say, Robert, I’m sad that you’re gone, but I understand.
Depression is serious and treatable. I hope you all take good care of yourselves and seek out resources when things get hard. Let’s honor those who have lost their lives to depression by getting the help we need and deserve.
RIP.
I remember this like it was yesterday. This and Gary Speed the following year kickstarted a dialogue still going to this day, they did not die in vain.
