⚠️ Wee technical hiccup at the start — StreamYard decided Brian Mitchell was the main character for the first 15 minutes 😅Stick with it though, the conversation really flows once we get going.After a wee technical hiccup at the start (live podcasting at its finest 😅), this episode turns into a powerful, honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health in football.Too often, footballers and fans alike are expected to be tough, resilient, and unaffected by what life throws at them. But behind the noise, the pressure, and the passion of the game are real people navigating real struggles.In this episode, we’re joined by Keith from C’mon the Hoops, who speaks openly and bravely about his own experiences with mental health — how it affected him, how he faced it, and what helped him keep going. His honesty is a reminder of how powerful it can be when people share their stories without fear or judgement.We also take time to reflect on the wider mental health landscape in football, including the current situation involving Bobo Baldé, who is receiving care in a psychiatric ward. Rather than speculate or sensationalise, we approach this with empathy, dignity, and compassion. Seeking professional help is not a failure — it’s a vital step towards recovery.Players like Paul Gascoigne remind us how fame, pressure, and unresolved trauma can collide when support systems aren’t strong enough — and why conversations around mental health, aftercare, and stigma in football still matter deeply.Adding to the warmth of this episode, we’re joined by Boab, making a special appearance from our very first-ever Green Sunrise Podcast studio chat. His visit is a beautiful reminder of where this journey began and the community that has grown alongside it.Me, Brian Mitchell, Keith, and Boab share a genuine, open and respectful conversation — one rooted in understanding, lived experience, and the belief that talking openly can help others feel less alone.This episode isn’t about gossip. It’s about connection, compassion, and changing how we talk about mental health — in football and beyond.If you or someone you know is struggling, please know support is available and it’s okay to reach out.#MentalHealth#Loneliness#YouAreNotAlone#RealTalk#SpeakUp
