Jason McAteer has released a statement regarding the way extracts of his book 'Blood, Sweat and McAteer: A Footballer's Story' have been interpreted in The Sun.
Thursday's edition of The Sun published a headline alluding to McAteer experiencing suicidal thoughts based on extracts from his book.
Absolutely nothing to do with it theyve picked it up from the book no control over this I said NO to any interview I want to make that clear https://t.co/7c45hKKzYE
