2021/22 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

What people don't realise about footballers is that they don't have the same childhood as other kids. They sacrifice a lot for football and most of them don't make the grade. Players that do make it can go on and become very well off. If, like DCL they get a serious injury I'm sure it's going to affect them mentally after devoting their whole life to the game. Whatever happens with Dominic I wish him nothing but a good life be that at Everton or anywhere else. He doesn't owe anyone anything for getting to where he is through sheer hard work and talent.

Probably applies to many professional sports people when injured.
And retirement is a big issue.
Stepped away from this thread was obvious he was physically struggling, take away some ones divining attribute, can with a degree of certainty guarantee depression won't be far away.
Still he owes me another season here for sticking by him when I did pop into thread.

Fairplay to him for speaking out...and coming out from under.
It's not rare, we have a big thread dedicated to it which does very good work.
But he acknowledges the on going struggle...
"May pressure always be a privilege"

Makes those pics of Tom D giving DCL big hugs after the winner v Palace all the more poignant, a mate who knows. Good lads, the pair of them.

When he went off early a couple of weeks ago I posted that I feared for his career if it was the same injury , after all that time off and he still wasn’t right .
l was worrying ! God knows what he was going through , never really thought about him I just wanted him back at his best , feel guilty now .
All the best Dom and don’t move .

Hope he's not called up by England. Needs a proper Summer of rest now to try fix these injury problems.

Will be Abraham ahead of him I should think

Get this lad a chant if he's here next season

Ooh, baby, when he wears that skirt
Calvert-Lewin is the best on earth.

Would be great if he can a strong pre-season and come out scoring goals for us early in the season

There's only Dom's way of life, and that's his own, that's his own, that's his own

Mental health is no joke, so many people suffer with it in our day and age.

What helped me was meditating, journaling, reading and writing 3 things I am grateful for every day. Exercising helps a lot too with mental health. Oh and staying off social media, it’s terrible for your mental health! Journaling really helps because I don’t really open up to anyone so writing daily in my journal allows me to let my thoughts out.

It’s good that DCL has hopefully got over his mental health problems, and glad he has spoken to someone.

Give it 1-2 misses early next season and people be making homophobic jokes about him and calling for him to be sold.
