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.

From cigars with Stoichkov to being scared of leaving the house.
For any football fan, the sight of a classic kit, is one that can fill your heart with glee and your eyes with tears. Football kits take you back to your childhood, when you first fell in love with the beautiful game. If you've ever wondered where and how these wonderful representations of our beloved institutions are made, then meet today's guest, Rob Warner.
Rob has spent the majority of his professional career designing football kits, including the kit Italy wore on their way to winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
His professional journey has seen him live in Germany and Holland, as well as working for Puma, pitching to Samuel Eto'o and Hristo Stoichkov. Rob has been as successful as you could hope to be in a profession he holds so dear to his heart.
However, despite all of that success, just a few years back, Rob found himself unable to leave the house without holding his Mother's hand, as he fell into a deep state of depression.
During this episode, Rob opens up about the struggles he's endured, what may have been the cause and how he has worked to overcome them, as well as regaling us with some amazing stories from his career.
