Eventually you can. I had severe childhood trauma from birth until I was 16. I had complex PTSD until recently. Medication and therapy 100% will not cure it, but there's a lot you can do yourself to 100% recover from it. Because I have. And a lot of others have. And believe, I went through some very dark things. Anyone can recover and I hope one day, he finds his own way to do the same.

If Dele Alli really had this crazy stuff going on in his childhood, then he has already achieved in life.

Sorry Lee, you’re way, way wide of the mark with the self inflicted stuff. Childhood abuse stays with you for a long time, self destructiveness is one of the classic signs.

No wonder the rate of men’s suicide is so high, when you have people pontificating about a football career given what Dele has just revealed. Just be happy the boy is still alive and continues to battle.

I had similar trauma as a kid and wasn’t until 2 years ago I finally reached out and told someone about it. I felt a massive weight had been lifted and it explains so much about why his career took a massive decline. I wish him all the best and I hope now he has come forward to tell his story that he can fulfil the potential we all knew he had, be in a more positive place and help Everton have a great season. ❤️

Totally agree. Lee is clueless. Not watching anymore.

On sleeping pills: it’s not mad. Game has moved on from 3 pm kick off to 8 pm kickoff. Adrenaline is still pumping at 10 or 11 or 12 in night. So I can see why sleeping pills are prescribed

Dele was very brave for talking about traumas. I hope he gets back to his best.

You're so clueless, demons never leave, instead of face it. Drinking etc is used to suppressed it

Great video Lee. Dele Alli scored that screamer goal for England against France at Wembley. 2-0. November 2015. It was his first international goal and He was only 19. I was there that night. That’s how i know 😝 Keep up the good work 👏

Lee despite him being a professional, hes also a human being… dnt be quick to pass judgement on what substances they are taking

Well said, Lee!!

tbh, I think we need to realise that the external behaviour of Dele, e.g. in the all or nothing doc when he sits down with mourinho, he puts on a casual, laid back, body language that says I don't care what you say. This can be a reaction from the trauma he had as a child where clearly, until his adoption, Male authority figures did some terrible things to him, so I can understand now with more clarity the type of behaviour and ultimately the struggles he faced in his career trying to suppress that trauma, I hope he overcomes this

This is the first lee video … I like Big up lee

I work 60 odd hours a week and I can’t sleep either. 0 adrenaline or anxiety for the next day I just struggle to pass out.

I’m from MK as well mate, worked in one of the local secondary schools a while back, and he wasn’t very highly regarded among the kids who played at district and county level who knew him. Have to say though, if that’s the life he had in his youth, I find it hard to criticise him. I see a lot of what bad parents do to their children (still work in education) and I just hope he can get around this and save his career.

I think before you questioned why footballers need sleeping pills, you should have done a tiny bit of research about the human body. When you do a physical activity your body is packed full of adrenaline. That’s why boxers sometimes say they can’t feel the punches they receive, it’s only afterwards when the body essentially starts to regulate itself. Next time you feel tired Lee, go for a run you’ll find that afterwards instead of feeling tired you’ll feel like you’ve just woken up because the adrenaline kicks in.

Never say never…all is possible for everyone..❤ for DELE

Totally agree with Lee's observations, clubs need to be more responsible for welfare of their players not just paying them huge amounts of money. Especially young immature players they need social safenets to guide rhem through

For the algorithm 👊

Big up Dele for coming out. But he didn't have to extend his pain he could have seeked help sooner, but I'm so glad he has found help and is happy, so let's hope others also seek professional help

Gotta disagree with what you're saying, stop victim blaming, not everyone lived a privileged life like you.

@@LEEREACTS you can have all the money and talent but if you ahve trauma it doesn't matter. The money and talent are the ways of hiding it. If you were molested at a young age it sits with you. It doesn't dissappear it just gets covered by behavior. Thats why he was behaving like a d*ck because he is giving off the energy he grew up with. His mom was hosting parties and he hosted parties not realizing he was actually just getting into a comfort zone.

You talk about it being convenient timing for Dele to come out with this but if he'd have told his story when at his career peak he would have been mocked and ridiculed. Comments such as "doesn't seem to have done you much harm" would have abounded. There is no set time for such revelations it's when you feel ready inside to open up to people. Don't judge him, you never know what the future holds for yourself.

He alluded to the fact why he came out with this now in the interview. For one he had finished his rehab which came part of a longer process of realization that he had a problem. So its only now that he fully realizes how his past impacts his present life. I agree with you, that his recent career trajectory also probably played a part in it. 2) apparently some journalists got wind that he'd been to rehab and in light of that, he prefered to own the narrative at least. He even said that this interview probably came to soon for him but that he nevertheless felt that he could do it.

Yeah I did find the sky bet ad on the video so hypocritical lol

He may never be the same talent he was, but I think with the growth he has made as a person will make him a winning player in 4-5 years. Don’t be surprised to see him as an integral part of a team that is winning/competing silverware in the next few years. Squads like Inter this past year are common where old and experienced players who know how give themselves a shot.

Out of the whole interview the sleeping tablets blew your mind lool

Jose nailed it with what he said to him during the Spurs AON. But as somebody who’s been through something very similar well done to him for making it as far as he has, but I do think if he reached out for help a lot sooner he could have been helped more. He made it and let it go to his head man, always did look like an arrogant guy but yeah, mental fall from Grace man, I’d have taken him at Arsenal during his peak tbh. Ps I fully agree with you that the football clubs have a duty of care, players should be extremely well looked after, physically and mentally. Mental health is serious tho so I understand when somebody is struggling.

Good call 👍

He said why in regards to the sleeping pills; the adrenaline. I think it's a bit more than that though. Add on top of that all the trauma he dealt with, I'm guessing his mind was constantly racing, therefore he used pills to kill the thoughts. I think it's a little harsh on him. Most of us can't imagine what it's like to live with the kinda trauma he went through. It sounds to me kinda like his mum might have been a prostitute. Multiple men in and out of the house, addiction. It's actually genuinely amazing he got as far as he has given the hand he was dealt. His adoptive family sound amazing. Good luck to him. He took accountability to me. Didn't blame anyone and said he was his own worst enemy.

Whatever the reason I’m glad he came out & said something because it might be too late for him not for youngsters coming up, I hope he can get back to his best especially now he don’t play for spurs.

Kinda felt for him after listening to the interview cant lie.

I'm usually wary of Lee's reactions but you're totally spot on here. Very balanced in sharing the blame/responsibility and especially highlighting that aspect of the medications etc. 👏👏 Anyone who's been around athletes know that sleeping tablets, pain killers and alcohol are a dangerous combo. We're lucky he's still here with us. You can check WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle and late Scott Hall for references.

For me as long as he is happy that’s what matters, footballing wise I’m not expecting miracles from him

I just hope none of the arsenal youngsters right now end up coming out with something like this and if they do hopefully it’s now rather then later

I read afew years ago that he doesn’t speak to his mom and his troubled childhood so drew my own conclusions that all was not well in his personal life when his performances dropped off. What I find hypocritical is the same media that was tearing this guy down the last 5 years suddenly wants to act like they care about him? They in the business of manufacturing headlines and writing clickbait stories but now want to pretend they actually care because it’s the latest ‘thing’ to do meanwhile they had no problem tearing this guy down with negative stories. Tells you all you need to know about these people that suddenly ‘care’ about Delle Alli

I think given all he has been through, football isnt important anymore.

One thing I will say. Talented players like this will always compare themselves to what they used to be in their own heads this is why when they drop off they cannot return. They will know their not doing what they use to do. It’s like getting old x10
