We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

Identity; the masks we wear.
Today's episode features two guests, Danny Gray, founder of War Paint, a men's makeup brand, and Darren Eadie, former Norwich City player.
In August of this year, Norwich City announced a partnership with War Paint, as they aim to promote choice for men when it comes to pride in their appearance.
Danny Gray suffered with body dysmorphia as a teenager, which caused anxiety and depression in later life, which prompted him start war paint, we talk to Danny about their ethos as we explore the idea of identity. Darren Eadie, who's identity was intrinsically linked to his football career, had his childhood dream ripped away from him at the age of 28, after succumbing to injury.
