Synopsis

''I like when I ask questions and I don't want to find stuff out. I want the answers straight away, I don't want to be waiting for hours and hours and hours. So Twitter suited me down to the ground because within five seconds normally somebody came back and gave me an answer. It might not always be the answer I like but I always got an answer and I think I like that side of it. For me to move from football into doing what I'm doing now, I think it's because I got to talk to people I never talked to in my life had I stayed in football'' Neville Southall on why he uses Twitter This was to be a stress-free, relaxed day in Carmarthen, Wales, for this legend, who was arguably the world’s best goalkeeper in the 1980s, as he takes a break from his consuming travelling. Southall listens while it is explained that our interview will be like no other that he has taken part in. It would be conducted in two halves. John would discuss the football side of stuff and I would be asking random every day to day questions and we settle down for one of the most exhaustive and unusual conversations we've ever had.

Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues. ​ “As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
