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.

Episode 79 - Ben Pringle
Ben Pringle's career, by his own admission, is the archetypal tale of two halves. A career that began at the infamous Wallsend Boys Club, saw Ben play for Derby County, achieve two promotions with Rotherham United and earn a move to Fulham by his mid 20s.
After signing a three year deal with championship side Preston North End in 2016, Ben's career prospects were looking healthy. During the next three years, Ben would make less than 20 appearances for Preston, and find himself out on loan with Tranmere Rovers, Oldham Athletic, and Grimsby Town. Did the move to Deepdale kill his career?
Now playing in the national league with Altrincham, and searching for his fifth career promotion, we sit down with Ben to look back over an unusual playing career, and discuss the moments that have made all the difference.
