Robert Enke was a great goalkeeper and an even better person (here is an article on how Enke saved the career of a young Sven Ulreich when he went through tough times after being harshly criticized).

His story is all too human and shows how depression can get us all no matter how rich or what status we might have. Please get all the help in the world if you feel like you are depressed. There is no shame in any of it.

This also a reminder for us fans who should always realize that players are also just humans.

R.I.P Robert. German football deeply misses you
