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.

"You're not fit to wear the shirt!"
We've all heard the chant, or been found singing it once or twice, but as football fans, do ever think about what it must feel like to hear it as a player?
We discuss player abuse, from a burning effigy of David Beckham, to Granit Xhaka being booed off the pitch, and the modern day iteration of abuse taking place on social media.
Can we have football without abuse? It's an important question to ask when considering the mental health of footballers.
