From The Gossip Life:

This former B list footballer committed suicide abruptly, sending the football world into a frenzy and confusing many of his colleagues. Why? How? What?

It seemed like there was no explanation for the tragedy. We have an explanation. The footballer way gay and struggled with his sexuality. He also suffered from clinical depression. An injunction obtained by his wife prevents this information from surfacing.

It would be shameless to offer you any clues. Maybe a nice cup of tea for the head of the family instead?
Thank you - I remember reading about it now.

I went right off the Shameless one after that.

These people should just keep it in their pants if they don't want to get found out. I agree, though, that it really isn't any of the press or public's business.
I agree with that as well, unless the person is a security risk to the country or unless he is speaking out about marriage and fidelity and condemning others publicly then I do not see how this is in the public interest at all. The only interest it is in is the newspapers profits

It could be but this one does fit a UK story and there are websites that will confirm whose wife has a Superinjunction and there are various rumours as to why , one said site says of this story "Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime" with stories such as this I would say they are wrong and there is no public interest at all in this case and leave it alone. They should complain about injunctions that affect us not ones that don't.

One thing I will say is that rather than try to fight such injunctions as this one the tabloids should look at how much responsibility they had in the end of this sad story as they threatened the person that they were going to print, they may just have some blood on their hands here

The Times said " ‘This story is being left alone. But the question has to be asked: is this reticence a good thing?’

and

"*********** death raises matters of public interest that need to be reported.’

No thought for families at all just thoughts of cash

I think I knew about that one as well actually. (Thanks for the help to work it out though.)

A general question about some of these super injunctions... the stories have been printed in various US tabloid magazines, often The National Enquirer, which are readily available in UK newsagents... what happens in these cases? Are the editions featuring these stories banned from being sold in the UK, or just physically printed in the UK? Do they produce a UK version of the print with the story removed?

Went back and checked. It's under the "British Blinds" tag.

I never believed the wife's story that she drove around and came back and slept in the car. Sure to be more than being gay or depression. Who would take out an injunction for that. Won't be surprised she was cheating and he found out. Rumours are his parents know the truth and put up with her for sake of their grandchildren.

The UK is blocked from certain US content on its site and has a UK site as well, and there is a UK print version as we know Kate Hudson got an apology from them , the full version is available to buy in Ireland

http://www.theguardian.com/media/200...shing.privacy1

Kate Hudson has accepted an apology and damages from the UK edition of the National Enquirer it implied the actor had an eating disorder and was "looking like skin and bones".

... and there is a UK print version
I thought the UK print version of The National Enquirer was the same as the US print version, but with UK adverts replacing the US ones? Does the UK print version also contain original reporting not in the US version?

His depression was very well documented, nothing new. I don't think he was gay.
I think the injunction was to stop the media digging and finding out more about her.

What would it matter though unless it was something out of this world like, i don't know, she was a serial killer or more realistically he left a note blaming her for stuff, him killing himself would actually get her a lot of sympathy in the press and the public, no matter what she did. If she was cheating i doubt anyone would of cared in the long run.

There were rumours she was for 13 years and he knew....And one child may not have even been his

The other guy was allegedly his former team mate, Shares a surname with the ex Man utd manager of many years

I was under the impression that his wife was the one who had something to hide. I found it very telling that his parents appeared with his children at all memorials etc, but she was absent from them all.

Its a really sad story though, and one injunction that I don't want to see broken for the kids sakes. They've been through enough

I agree with all of this; I thought at the inquest she was allowed to be very vague. I also thought some of what his Geordie ex-footballing friend said at the inquest was quite telling - imo, anyway.
You're quite right though; his kids don't need any of what may or may not have gone on splashed all over the front pages.

If true, I would tell the child now. He could have a relationship with the real father.
Would explain his long time depression. Coroner ruled that not enough evidence
to rule that he took his own life.

Who is the mystery celebrity that has an injunction in the UK preventing his name being printed in the newspaper having slept with Helen Wood ?

No idea.
You should stop worrying about idle gossip and get some culture in your life.
Why not head to the theatre? This looks like a good play to catch

LA.

Not just very vague, make that absolute bollocks. Definitely covering her back, her husband was after all very popular with fans and players.
