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.

Male role models, uncomfortable conversations, and self harm.
David Cox came to prominence in Scotland late in 2019, when he spoke out about the abuse he had received from players and supporters, whilst playing in the lower leagues in Scotland.
Since a young age, David has suffered with depression, and during that time has attempted to end his life on several occasions. It was his willingness to talk openly about his difficulties that led to the abhorrent abuse he endured.
We have an honest conversation with David about his upbringing, his relationship with his Dad, his suicide attempts and self harm, and ultimately the stigma that still remains in some areas of the beautiful game, when it comes to mental health.
