NEW YORK (April 14) - Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker once played Russian roulette with a loaded pistol as he struggled with a personality disorder.
"To challenge death like I was doing, you start saying, there's a problem here," he said during an interview to be broadcast Monday night on ABC's "Nightline."

Walker suffers from dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. His experiences are chronicled in his book, "Breaking Free," which is released this week.

In an interview Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America", Walker's ex-wife, Cindy, said that she sometimes feared for her life around him.

"We were talking and the next thing I knew, he got a gun, and he put it to my temple," she recalls. When asked what Walker said to her while he had a gun to her head, Cindy replied, "I'm going to blow your [expletive] brains out."

The 46-year-old Walker was a star running back at Georgia and in the pros. He says he had the condition during his playing days but didn't realize it. He doesn't remember winning the Heisman in 1982 or darker events, such as threatening his then-wife.

Walker has been in treatment for eight years but doesn't take medication. He believes he has improved greatly.

"I've totally changed from back then to where I am today," he says.

Whats crazy is that he kept it a secret from everyone.When this first came out,alot of people thought he was just trying to get publicity for his new book.Vince Dooley said he was shocked because Herschel always seemed so mild mannerd until he was on the football field.Just goes to show,you never know what someone is going through on the inside.
