very sad.

It's his fiancé that John Terrys brother alledegly was messing around with last year.

Sad stuff and I hope he didn't take his own life.

RIP.

Reports are circulating in Sunderland that he did indeed take his own life.

He's a big Sunderland fan and used to go to games regulary before he was started playing the game seriously himself.

RIP Dale. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Nailz

Oh no, right before Christmas, the poor guy. That's far too young for anyone to go.

RIP.

BOHtox

Awful to hear.
RIP.

Horrible news

RIP

I hate the thought of anyone being so lonely and down that they take their own life, something needs to be done to give young men like this an outlet and the support they need when depression hits. RIP, thie is awful for his family especially at Christmas.:(

That_Guy

Oh dear. Tragic story. RIP

Le King

Early judgements here but I imagine it does indeed have something to do with his former "fiancée". If the rumours are true, well it indeed does make me sick to my stomach.

RIP Dale. Such a sad way to go.

24 is a young age. For most footballers, football is all they know. No other skills and their only income is football. The football world is a big one. Everybody knows everything about each other. Can you imagine being known for and what everybody is thinking about you. Every team you play against every week, the players know you as the one that was cheated on with John Terrys brother.

That's hard to get away from in that profession. So sad to lose a son to some mother and father at 24.

Very sad news.

Jesus Christ words fail me for that shower.

It's just as well that they fail me because they would probably shatter several charter rules.

Family of dirt. Paul Terry was playing on Dale's team when it happened. It was only May of this year it came out. Seemed alot longer.

Guy:Incognito

Was wondering how long it would take to start blameing one or both the Terrys :rolleyes:

What of the tarty ex? shes the one with the connection to the guy, fault lies with her for any infidelity.

Aye, all her fault.


Nothing to do with his team mate.

Well going by the way people are reacting it hadnt anythign to do with her and it was all Paul Terry. Bit of balance isnt a bad thing you know. As I said team mate or nothing, she is the one with the connection to him, relationship wise. Calous as it sounds, her marital status is of little concern to the guy giving her one on the side. His problem is his own GF/Wife etc if he has one.

Agree that both the girl and Paul Terry were in the wrong, but very soon to be pointing the finger when we dont no the circumstances.

Condolences to his family & friends, RIP

Not really no. Its a guy in his job, nothing more. He might well never speak to him and not like him at all.

darsar

Nobody blamed either Terry. Merely pointed out the fact that the family is not a very nice family.

Of course the fiancé is as much to blame. You'd think he'd share the blame considering he was his teammate and knew exactly who she was.

Kind of makes it hard to do his job if doesnt like or never speaks to his goal keeper.

Nobody here would deny that yes, from Paul Terry's point of view, his only problem is on his own end of things. That's completely irrelevant imo though. He "allegedly" did the dirt with a team mates missus. That in my book makes you (if true) a dirty rat b&st&rd and the family appear to have little or no morals and therefore give little fcuk about anyone else.

Or so it would seem at least.

bull,if you play soccer to a professional or semi pro level you would not say that
i'm not saying everyone gets on but it's more like a family than a job

in a lot of jobs people come in to work and just go through the motions,
in pro football you have to stick together otherwise you're relegated and lose pay,your job and any chance of a solid consistant income

and besides there are some unwritten rules for those who have morals and not riding your team-mates bird is one

I thought the exact same when I saw the surname.

Jaysus lads this is not Paul Terry's fault. Not even remotely. Thousands of people do the dirt and have the dirt done on them every day, and the majority of them find out and don't resort to such drastic measures. This lad obviously had some sort of depression or other mental instability that meant something would have sent him over the edge eventually, whether it be a cheating other half or otherwise and that's the real tragedy here. There shouldn't even be a discussion of Terry in here, it's really not relevant. RIP, its a very sad story.

No you don't, it's just a pathetic attempt by you to take a thinly veiled dig at John Terry by claiming his brother is responsible for another man killing himself. If a guy killed himself because I was shagging his girlfriend, I would not feel one bit responsible. It's a tragic story and very upsetting, but IF the situation with his girlfriend/wife/fiancé is why he resorted to this (and that's a big if, we don't even know) then his inability to cope with a situation because of his mental state and his lack of seeking help is to blame, not Paul Terry.

you need to relax and read back,all i said was i beleive the Terry(i didn't even mention JT)connection was relevant,also quote me where I stated that JT's bro was responsible

also where's my ,'thinly veiled dig at John Terry?'

I had a dig at Paul Terry but not in anyway was I having a go at John Terry. Nobody lost their life due to John's interactions with anybody. Fact is that they (Paul and his former fiancée) broke this poor chap up. Sometimes losing somebody you love means more than life itself.

You can't blame the guy for not seeking help. Certain things define you as a person and being cheated on definitely changes you, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. When your depressed the last thing you want to do is drag yourself into somebody's office who you don't know and start opening up to them.

His ex-fiancée obviously has most of the blame for any potential depression brought on due to the affair. Hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness etc. all fall under the depression spectrum. A general loss of interest in life ensues.

It takes two to tango TB. Depression is a fairly touchy subject for myself as my brother suffers from it, so maybe I'm going OTT. But, I don't see how neither of them are to blame. If I done something like that I would feel partly responsible and I would be damned sure people would rightly lay blame at my feet.

Lads I really don't think it's appropriate to be making assumptions about why this poor young man felt he had to end his life.Who the hell are we to say what caused him to do this it could have been anything.You never know what's going on i someone else's mind.

I'm pretty sure the forum has been set up to pay respects and discuss this horrible tragedy,not bicker over a stupid argument about john terry and his brother and where to point the blame.

So sad for a family at christmas,RIP

Come on Tom, no-one's having a dig. It's when we saw the surname, gut reaction. JT's got a reputation off the field, it's to be expected.

Cold. If I was in that situation I'd feel very responsible. I'd be very afraid to go to the funeral, and I'd expect fireworks in the dressing room too. Human nature.

Not a bad looking chap

But his missus has a ride off this weird looking thing?

Dozen Wicked Words

Not at the club long on a contract, played on a non contract/loan basis to start, was first choice at Diamonds last year, probably would have been this season but got injured playing with England C team. Popular at Nene Park.

Very sad news. RIP.

i would accept that if the thread title was,
'Pay your respects to.......',it's not so it's open for general discussion i would have thought.
If there was a mod warning 'do not mention Mr.Terry' i would respect that

Looks like the lad hung himself. Tragic way to die. It'll haunt his family and all involved for the rest of their lives.

Nailz

I know, a terrible way to go, I feel really sorry for how he must be feeling, thoughts are with his family and friends. This article kind of confirms it.

I really wish tabloids hired a few people with morals , they could have at least waited until the guy was buried before they start printing this crap.
