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.

“For me to be happy, I need to be in the team.”
James Coppinger is now approaching the final months of his 22 year career. For any fan of a football league side, James has probably scored against your team, and it was likely to have been a belter. He has spent 17 seasons at Doncaster Rovers, amassing over 650 appearances, achieving promotion three times.
Reflecting on just shy of 800 matches as a professional footballer, James talks to us about the anxieties he felt as a young player, how working with behaviourist Terry Gormley turned his career around, his happiness at Doncaster Rovers, and what he plans to do following retirement.
