Just heard on 5 live news that paramedics are at Frank Brunos house trying to (as the reporter put it) persuade Frank to go with them. I don`t think I`d like that job.
Whether you like Frank Bruno or not , it shows the long term perils of boxing and to me it`s a shame and very sad that a nice guy should end up like this. I hope he gets better.

He's been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

He now lives on his own, so who sectioned him?
I dont know much about this sectioning stuff, so what happens?
Does somebody report you as "a danger to your self or others"
I thought you had to do something wrong before that happened.

At least that is better than the Sun headline in today's early editions. Thankfully I have enough taste, decency and common sense not to buy or read that piece of garbage passing itself of as a newspaper.:mad: :mad:

Oh yes, the headline staring out from the newstands, " BONKERS BRUNO" :(

Shame on anyone who calls themselves a Sun reader.

i was shocked when I heard about this, I mean it's Frank for god sake, he was always smiling, always upbeat, shows what can happen I guess.

is this true?
surely if frank "knocked her about" she would be dead or smashed up in hospital with her picture all over the papers
i know most people would be if they got "knocked about" by frank
i thought she left him coz he was playing away

I feel sorry for frank, he's been publicly humiliated, due to no fault of his own. Maybe the guys who took him in, might actually consider him next time, and try and do it a bit quieter.
