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.

Suicide: Spotting the signs, grieving, and raising awareness.
If you are a football fan and you use Twitter, you'll know Jonny Sharples for his incredibly humorous tweets, highlighting the lighter side of the beautiful game. What you might not know, is that in 2014, Jonny's older brother Simon, died by suicide.
In this interview, we ask Jonny about how he acquired his twitter fame, the difficulties he faced when his brother died, and what he is doing now, as a CALM ambassador, to raise awareness of male suicide prevention.
This is the final episode of series six, and it's a really special one for us. Jonny epitomises everything we're striving to be at Man Marking. Give it a listen, you'll laugh, you'll cry and hopefully you'll learn.
