HEALTH & DREAMSSix months ago I was on top of the world, and now my world has been turned upside down. Being here, seeing the players is very difficult.
They treat me as one of them, which is nice. But I’ve got to deal with this the best way I can. You don’t think this could happen to you and there
are times when you are in denial. But I have to say this can happen to anyone.
Tony Vidmar

We didn’t even talk about the grand final
We’ve just put it behind us
Just forget it
Get a lifeNo we are not after revenge

You can’t keep feeling sorry for yourself. There are lots of people worse off than you.
Just put it behind you. She wouldn’t want you to keep on about it.

It seems silly I suppose but even after all these years I can’t watch the swimming at the Olympics. Over 20 years ago I was good enough to make the
team. Then I had my car accident ! I know what everyone was telling me, was right. I was lucky to not have been killed, and I have gone on to have a
good life. But you know, when I see that swimming start, the sadness, the disappointment is very real. Silly, isn’t it, for a grown man with a family to feel
like that?
