Craig Bellamy

You can't speak to really anyone.

It was only football.

Your friends were able to go away, like go back home on weekends.

I was stuck in, you know, you think of it, you know, a 15, 16-year-old kid stuck in his digs.

We called it digs at the time.

on a weekend or when you're waiting for people to come back and the effect I probably look back now when you get older you understand a lot more and that's just natural and so I have a look you know look back and a lot of how I was and the anger I had you know like even my parents now like even I look at my father I was really close to my father we have never really bridged that gap because I sort of held him responsible for making me go there

You know, there was times I'd come back home and I didn't want to go back.

I weren't going back, but he made me go back.

And he was right.

It was the best thing for me.

But I held a lot of resentment towards him towards that.

And I still haven't really recovered really from that.

And I look at it now as even throughout my career and even through the Steve Peters is, you know, like it's very few people notice.

I've never spoke about it.

I don't really feel it's anyone's business.

to talk about it.

I'm quite private in what I do in Qatar, I know that.

I keep everything away from, you know, very few people know, they only see certain bits of what I allow you to see.

But my private life is very, very, very private to me.

I always want to keep that separate.
