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.

During these episodes we will take a look back at examples of mental ill health in football from yesteryear.
In 1932, tragedy hit Crystal Palace, as their first team goalkeeper Billy Callender was found dead inside Selhurst Park.
Billy moved to Palace from Prudhoe, Northumberland, in 1923, and would go on to make over 200+ appearances for the eagles.
I am joined by Jim Wright, author of The Sad Story of Billy Callender to discuss a true Crystal Palace legend, one of whom, very few Crystal Palace fans alive today will have heard of.
