What is his wife referring to in the message when she says "... my husband was so desperate & could attempt such a horrific thing" ?.

I wish him well.

It just proves us supporters of all clubs can be complete idiots at times.

Best wishes to Brett and all his family. Hopefully he'll get all the help he needs to get his life back on track be it here in England or back home in his native Australia.

For me it shows a guy with pride who is obviously trying to do well for us but for whatever reasons it isnt working and its hit him very hard. I already had respect for him and wasnt in the brigade of people slagging him off pre-accident but that respect has gone up a great deal and hope he can get well very soon.

Who is the 'we'?

As with all RTA the Police will have or will be interviewing Brett. Until then I don't think anyone should make assumptions as to reasons for the crash. FC have taken the correct stance by releasing a short and non committal statement.

Not sure this should lead to an increase in respect for the player, a great deal more thought should go into the things people say to players after poor performances, though.
At the end of the day, sportsmen are people and it can't be nice to feel as if the world is against you.

A royal "we" as fans. It just seems to me, reading this thread that people have made a assumption that Brett's wife's statement relates to the reason of the crash? I just wondered if I had missed something here.

People are probably drawing some conclusions from a tweet by James Smailses last night! Whether it is true or not I have no idea and I certainly won't be repeating it but it was there for all to see. As its likely that the family might just be looking on here and its obviously a very sensitive subject perhaps we should stop being so inquisitive and wait and see what is made public !

I agree with you Wilf.With an illness like he has the lad needs supporters to stand by him not make wild accusations. People should understand his mind is in a dark place and he need people around him to show him respect and love and help him to get better I can say it will take a lot of care and it could be a long time before the lad get better.I have had to deal with depression first hand.Just hope the lad get there and get better

swift recovery and a return to action Brett, hope you get a proper run of games and show us what you can really do with a good partner like DJ

i second that, get well soon fella

Very very sad if its what everyone is thinking

The lad must of been in a very bad place

All the very best to him and his family


Bulls fan

Pretty tragic. Just hope he can make as good recovery as possible & enjoy life positively with whatever he does in the future. I know he's struggled, but if he does return to the field & plays again, he has a fantastic fan base who will support him in whatever he does.

The first thing is that he gets back to be in a happy place as depression isn't nice at all to go through and I'm sure he'll be fine whenever that time is.

Just caught the tail end of a woman on Radio Humberside saying that there will be some kind of show of support for Brett tonight at the game.
Think,although not sure, something to a Facebooki page set up.
Anyone know anything.

after 7 mins - "one Brett Seymour" song

Thanks

Hope he makes a full recovery , best wishes to Brett , his family and all at HFC

"The incident came 24 hours after Seymour had been abused by fans for his part in Hull’s surprise 36-16 defeat at Widnes Vikings."

I think that's a terrible sentence to put on a website. It is highly suggesting that his depression is down to "abuse" by fans. That's hardly going to help matters at all.

Read that and thought the same.

Bury your head in the sand all you want but thats what happened

Not saying it it didn't happen Seb, but the implication that he did what he did because of the fans abuse is a bit misleading imho

in there any update to how he is / future plans etc?
