Emile Heskey has opened up on suffering from depression after his move from Leicester City to Liverpool.

The former England striker joined the Reds in 2000 for what was a club record fee.

"It lasted six months," Heskey told The Guardian. "I had to grow up very quickly because I had kids, I had a girlfriend. I literally laid on the floor and started crying. I was like, 'What have I done? I don't know if I have done the right thing'. But the weirdest thing was I'd go to training [and] I would be all right.

"Then like a drop of a hat I found a barber, I found friends, a routine. Yes, it was a tough time but it was weird, I was silly and looking back you think, 'Why didn't you just go and sit with mates?'"
