Abstract

I didn’t really want to play – no desire to play whatsoever, I didn’t want to turn up. [I would be] sitting there going ‘What am I doing here?’ … I started thinking about other things I could be doing, thinking about [travelling] overseas. … I found I was getting quite tired in games. I was … physically knackered [i.e., exhausted]. I’d turn up to play and be knackered in the warm up … Your mental attitude … it can cause a lot of lethargy and tiredness.
