À propos de cet audio

 This week on More Than A Name, Max Whittle and former Aston Villa defender Luke Young sit down with ex-Premier League star and top pundit Stephen Warnock for one of the most powerful and open conversations we’ve ever recorded.
Stephen takes us through his incredible journey:
  • Growing up a Liverpool fan and living the dream by playing for the club.
  • Breaking his leg three times before 20 and being told he’d never play again.
  • How he rebuilt himself physically and mentally to reach the Premier League.
  • Why his time under Martin O’Neill at Aston Villa shattered his confidence.
  • The emotional highs and lows he hid throughout his playing career.
  • The overwhelming depression he faced after retiring.
  • The moment he planned to take his own life — and the friend and psychologist who saved him.
  • The heartbreaking conversation he had with his children during his darkest period.
  • How he began to recover, rebuild, and feel like himself again.
  • Practical advice for anyone struggling with their mental health.
  • His passion for his new chapter as a pundit and commentator.
This conversation with Stephen deals with themes of depression, suicidal thoughts, and mental-health struggles. If anything he shares resonates with you — if you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling, or simply unsure where to turn — please know you are not alone.
