Burnley’s Jonathan Walters: β€˜Losing mum interview was the best thing I’ve ever done’

Republic of Ireland and Burnley forward Jonathan Walters has described opening up about his mother’s death as β€œthe best thing I’ve ever done”.

In a follow-up interview to the sit down discussion he had with 5 live’s Tony Livesey, Walters says β€œhe can now speak about it normally” and that he’s pleased with the massive response the original interview has had.

Walters’ mother died when he was just 11-years-old, and he previously spoke about β€œnever grieving” and having to β€œlock away his emotions”.
