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 1976, Dave Clement made his long awaited England debut, in February of 1982, he had taken his own life at the age of 34.
There aren't many QPR players that are awarded an England cap, even fewer who played over 400 games for the club. Dave achieved both, and so much more.
But when his career was abruptly ended following a broken leg, Dave fell into a deep depression, which ultimately led to his suicide.
I am joined by lifelong QPR fan Martin Percival, to discuss Dave's career, and his untimely death.
