Please Send Us your Questions!!!

You played in the last FA Cup final at "old" Wembley. Did you enjoy watching the Chelsea victory parade?

 

Might have to re-word it slightly to:
Despite losing the FA Cup to Chelsea, How was the experience of playing in the last FA Cup final at "old" Wembley

That's ok. I'll just have to ask him when he's in Bedford in January.

Would love to be on the podcast for this one! I have a lot of questions to ask!!!!

Ill PM as i have A LOT!!!!

Any more questions for Lee?

I can't believe we have Lee Hendrie on and only 2 people have asked questions from the board. Absolutely shocking! This is a player who played in the Premier League for over 7 years and was a capped International who has been there and seen both the good and the bad, as well as experiencing it. Yet the forum can only get a couple of people to bother asking stuff.

Shocking Effort 606v2!

Another question which I'm sure Nick or one of you guys will already have thought of. Your career is an example of how bad it can be if you make certain decisions at the wrong time. What advice would you give to all the 16 to 20 year olds now entering professional football on how they can manage their lives and money to be an off the field success?

What were his best experiences at the Villa.

Would you like to go into coaching/management.

Who was the player you looked up to most as a youngster.

Who was the best player you played with/against.

and


























How many other manager's daughter's did you shag.

PM sent to Hampo, for questions to be asked to Lee  

Where did all your money go?

How do you find out you've called up for England?
(When i wrote that question, did you find out by e-mail you'd called up for England? then i thought was there e-mail in 98?)

Was Czech Republic your first call up?

So you turn up at training for the first, are you a bit star stuck or did you already know must the players?

I imagine it was the greatest feeling in the world when Glenn Hoddle said get your trackie off Lee, your going on?

Did your family want you to play for Scotland?

In Hindsight, do you think your should played for Scotland?

I would love Lee Hendrie to be asked if there was email in 1998

Good questions though. Imagine being told to get ready, you're making your England debut. What a feeling.

Did you feel alone in the game with your problems or was there someone you could talk to?

Did the FA do anything to help you on the way down or were you abandoned?

What initiatives do you think should be brought in to help players with the medical side of the game?

How do you think that more people should be kept in the game rather than the huge fallout for those that don't make it or have career ending injuries etc.

Cheers.

Also following on from the depression documentary are there any other individuals you know personally from the game that you feel could come forward with their own stories to help others. (obviously no names needed)
