Yeovil Town midfielder Charlie Wakefield wants his film to explore the difficult topic in football.
By Jonathan HolmesA footballer has released a documentary about mental health in football to encourage others to open up about the difficulties they might be facing.
Man Up, a film by Yeovil Town midfielder Charlie Wakefield, was inspired by the loss of his uncle Lee who took his own life in March 2020."The first thing people can do is talk, I want this to be the start," he added. Mr Wakefield's uncle Lee was 50-years-old when he died, and in the documentary the footballer also interviewed team-mates about the death of former Yeovil Town captain Lee Collins,"More needs to be done, and it's hard to see when people are going through a tough time.
"I spoke to a counsellor after Lee, and I've said to the lads here that it helped me massively," said former defender Luke Wilkinson in the film.Mr Wakefield said he realised his documentary could "be a voice" for footballers."There's a lot of emotion involved and a lot of setbacks which people don't see that in the outside world.""That was the aim for me, I'm pleased that people have reached out to me.
