Yeah, unfortunately Dorrans's son was stillborn in 2010 and then his daughter contracted meningitis in 2012, both of which were (by his own admission) incredibly traumatic events, especially for a guy in his early twenties to deal with. He seemed to go from being a young fella with confidence to burn and not a care in the world, to someone whose head or heart just wasn't in the game, and that happened at exactly the point when he would otherwise have been making the step up to the Premier League with all guns blazing. He was never really the same player afterward, though he always put in a shift for Albion when required. I'm glad he's still going strong at 34, and hope his family are well.
