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 9:
Injuries, regrets and scoring in the derby.
Despite being a born and bred City fan, Jon Macken started his career with Manchester United in the mid 90's, playing as a teenager in a youth side whilst the club was under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson.
In 1997, Jon made a very successful move to Preston North End under David Moyes, helping the club secure promotion to the old Division One in the 1999/2000 season, which earned him a £5 million move to his boyhood club, Manchester City in 2002.
Jon went on to have a long and storied career at Crystal Palace, Derby County, Barnsley, Walsall and Stockport County, as well as earning a cap for Republic of Ireland in 2004.
Jon is now a manager, at Radcliffe Borough, he spoke to us about his difficulties with injuries, some regrets about his time at Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Oh, and he once scored in a Manchester derby, in a 4-1 win for the blue side of Manchester.
