Greg Halford.

[Dodgy]

Interesting read from the BBC.

'I always knew I was different'

 

[Bossworld]

Interesting read. He was an absolute **** at Wolves and for a good while after, actively going after the club in any press opportunity he got.

Talking Wolves did an interview a couple of years back for his side of the story I think.

 

[Gronkowski]

He goes into it on Undr The Cosh.
That’s all I can add as the only thing I remember about the podcast was him saying he wasn’t a coke head

Thought he come across canny on his Undr the Cosh

Thought that's why we shipped him out

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

Have you read the bit about his meeting with Keane? HIs agent told him to ask Roy who else we were signing that transfer window and he got the hump and binned him off shortly after. I wonder if his agent didn't like him much, thinking that was a good idea!

That's what people say on here but there's clearly no evidence for it. Might be true, most have no idea

 

[Gronkowski]

They were the rumours at the time.
He says something about being tested weekly and always being clean or something but that might not have been while he was here

 

[ChrisAshley]

Thought that's why we shipped him out

According to Halford there was a rumour on a message board (assume he means this one) that he was caught in some bar sniffing coke, Keane heard about it and made him do regular drug tests.

Didn’t that come from that Secret Footballer thing that was popular for a while?

 

[DrewC]

He just played poorly was the reason we shipped him out was my understanding happens to a lot of players at Sunderland

Not enough

 

[Scorer]

Know an ex pro who played in a retired player seniors league and he only mentioned two players. Lee Hendrie for being someone you could punch to death happily and Greg Halford for being the shittest professional footballer he ever played against.

Halford was rubbish for us but I hope he’s an inspiration to lots of young autistic people that you can make it in any field.

Plenty of coke heads in the premier league in recent years. Seen with my own eyes a Premier league player doing it in a toilet when he was playing for Southampton. Still plays pro football in England too. Plenty of stories will come out about him once he retires I'm sure.

 

[naughtynose]

Reading signed him from Colchester before us and never gave him a sniff.

 

[AC Mack]

Quite a bit of that resonates with me, going through similar experiences in the past.

Dave Kitson?

 

[cluffy]

Is he related to Rob?

 

[Scorer]

Didn’t realise McCkean was neuro divergent too although the lack of filter and way he communicated some things probably were indicators.
Halford cones across really well in that article, as I previously posted I really hope he can be an inspiration for neurovergent people generally but particularly in sport and football.
