The former England Under-21 midfielder says he became withdrawn after persistently being spoken about because of his appearance
Former Manchester United youngster Luke Chadwick has opened up on the difficulties he had with his mental health after his appearance was mocked.
The midfielder made his debut for the Red Devils in 1999 and had loan spells at Royal Antwerp, Reading and Burnley before permanently moving away from the club in 2004 to West Ham, having turned out on 25 occasions in the Premier League under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Chadwick never settled at a club until moving to MK Dons in 2009, and he admitted that he found it mentally difficult having become a figure of fun due to his looks.
