Dele Alli paid a visit to a Spurs Foundation session this week to surprise youngsters who are getting active to assist their mental health.
This is the sort of thing that footballers should be doing regularly, and, importantly, they should be highlighted as much as the bad stuff is.
“We have a great platform to let people know that you’re not alone and people are here to help you.”
