From Premier League To Prison | Behind The Headlines | Leon McKenzie

We're all guilty of buying into the media's portrayal of a player every now and then. The inconvenient truth is, it's easier than accepting them as complex, fallible human beings - like the rest of us. With that in mind, we wanted to create a platform where top level pros could tell an unfiltered, raw and honest account of events. So here it is, Behind the Headlines. We hope you enjoy.

Leon McKenzie opens up his struggles with mental heath, becoming a professional footballer & his transistion from Prison to boxing.

Thank you FD for top class content.

Massive respect for you Leon for sharing your experiences and being so open and honest about living with mental health issues, that's from an Ipswich supporter that threw dogs abuse at you whenever you scored against us for Norwich.

Great work Football Daily!
Superb to see you covering stories like Leon's, looking forward to seeing who else you get on for the series.
