I'm so proud men have started to open up. I'm 36 and had problems but never dreamed about talking about it but when you see legends do it then you feel you can cause you respect them
David seaman was a real shock for me..id never heard anything about this and I always had such admiration for him, but I’ve ten times that now for him. I’m suffering from severe depression from a brain injury I got a year ago but watching these guys is helping me to understand how it effects everything in life.. thanks fellas and keep up the fight. 🙏
Thanks for being open lads. We see too many men afraid to speak up because it's seen as "unmanly" or some nonsense. Top blokes. Hopefully will do people favours that are struggling 💪🏼
merse was my childhood hero playing football, so I always will defend him when idiots online have a pop. Nobody knows what people go through with mental health issues, I am glad attitudes are changing now.
amazing the battles that these footballers were fighting-and there's me thinking they earning all this money and must be happy-glad that mental health in men is openy talked about now
burlhorse89 they weren’t fighting battles they were just making the wrong decisions...will I go Out and drink and take coke or prepare for the match...that’s not a battle that’s a choice.
It must take a herculean amount of mental strength to go out in front of a baying crowd every week knowing that all eyes are on you. To do it while struggling with mental health issues is on another level entirely, so fair play to these guys.
It takes a real man to talk about their problems and issues! Merson, Groves and Seaman are brilliant. Us guys suffer in silence too much when 3 idols talk about problems it’s a great help to all us. Thank you. We are not alone! It’s good to talk!
!00% correct, this man is speaking from a place of honesty and his "humanity shines" through! Courage, Heart and Truth.... Such a great interview and revealing too.... He is so right about the fear of communication for far too many people and it is tragic, I hope this changes.....
I'm a Liverpool fan, but it makes me sad to see these football legends tell how down they were at the height of their fame and after. I hope that they know now that they can talk to people if/when feeling down. These dark days need to be left behind when people were too afraid to express themselves.
3 Arsenal legends! Our best ever goal keeper, the magic man Merse who’s came through the ranks to become a world class midfielder and Groves nephew of Vick, a pacy winger Graham bought for peanuts from Colchester! They always cared about the club and the crest and gave 100% to AFC! 😀👍🏻
Thanks so much for opening up like this guys 🙏🙏 you’ll have done the world of good for quite a few people that needed to hear this. You’re greater legends because of it. God bless you
Videos like these are amazing, it helps so many people open up about there mental health (me included) to have your idols being so open and confident with speaking out is beyond inspirational
It’s the best thing you can do is talk to someone you know and credit to sky for getting there guys together, there’s been a few now and so many people suffer in silence and it’s hard to spot it sometimes even when u really know someone, it shows anyone can have mental health problems it’s a normal part of life and it can be dealt with
at 10:00, when dave seamans talking about letting everyone down if he makes a mistake, i instantly thought of robert enke and the tragic story of his life, he felt he let everyone down when he had a bad performance. i know we talk about football as life and death but it is just a game, i absolutely love it, but its a game and feelings and emotions should be left on the pitch, it shouldn't manifest and transfer into someones personal life and affect their mental state. thank you for sharing your stories fellas
My life is still turmoil , these guys have support fantastic, my life is solitary and empty and still hell . Looking out the window for days weeks and can't move . Because of my mental health l have lost everyone really. These guys are great but it hurts to listen . God bless you guys. Terry
Great to see the honesty and openness in this discussion. We are all vulnerable, football stars are not superhuman, they are ordinary people with the same problems as anyone else.
Merse is a total inspiration been watching him on Harry's heroes when he tried to help razor felt for him big time.many of us have demons but he was in the public eye earning fortunes I can't imagine it .. good luck Merse your family look amazing they deserve to have you around
Well done to the three of you, especially PM, who i thought many years ago was a bit of arrogant sod, despite being a good footballer. I've since changed my opinion about him for opening up to his addictions. Recently seen Harry's Boys European Tour and listened to him talking about his previous problems, which i mostly was unaware of. I have now come to realise the inner torment he previously suffered, how he has now hopefully changed his life for the better. I now think he is a brilliant and exceptional person and i sincerely applaud him👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and wish him every success and happiness for the future.
Merson is a strong man, massive respect because not everyone has the strength and bravery to admit it and talk openly about it, shows that he is on the right track and he will overcome the obstacles and struggles and it will make him stronger.
It’s great hat men are talking about their mental issues, I’m a member of AMC ,Andy’s Man Club and they are opening centres all over Britain now ,it’s ok to talk guys all the best 👍❤️🏴
Human beings are inherently irrational. There is no such thing as "normal". Good of these gentlemen to speak up about their struggles, that takes genuine courage.
For all the feeling bad about yesterday these boys are what i couldnt be and wanted to be! And I'm a Liverpool FC fan! I would have given anything to have been a footy player in 1980s / 90s..
Always liked Perry Groves, he always gave his all in games and scored some important goals for Arsenal. He has also won as many league titles as Tottenham
Isnt it so stupid how we judge people or their persona. I did with Paul Merson, I hated him on the pitch. But I think tha he is now a great role model. A genuinely lovely person with a great capacity for life and love.
I felt those tears of Merson's then. Its really painful opening up sometimes, when you have just experienced pain after pain after pain with no freedom. It's torture, trust me :(
13:50 Right on, Merse 👍🏻👍🏻 Just talk and your problems become that much more manageable. They won't disappear, but they'll be that much easier to deal with. Top stuff 👍🏻👍🏻
The importance of this being shared with young men, should not be overlooked. I have lost some pals over the years who could not talk. As a Spurs fan I have massive respect for you all.
Never underestimate the power of the mind, everybody should take up a course in meditation, do the meditation on a daily basis, just for ten minutes, then over a period of time feel how calm and focused you will be, Paul merson is waking up, everybody is waking up, talk to each other try not to over think, your mind is your worst enemy, well done mers, very inspiring
I gota say big balls to come out and talk about this. And the fact that they can have a laugh about this shows u how far they have come with all of this surronding them. Massive respect for the three. Should have more like this. Ive met Paul Merson and hes a top bloke. Well done for speaking about this
Paul u are a top player and a person want even u do it all a part of growing up top man love u on the tv you talk sense.i wish you was still playing for the VILLA we mind have won on Sunday 😎
It's weird that it's historically been seen as being weak for a man to show his true feelings yet to me it's always been obvious that it takes enormous courage and is in fact a massive strength to reveal how we are really coping!
As a liverpool fan always loved merson as a player he was qaulity and the drink i was a alcoholic aswell at a young age at me 20s i havent touched a drink in 15 years but i went on to prescription tablets and methadone and hard drugs but im clean now from the herion and im on 32mls im reducing 3mls a week i havent touched a drug in 6 years but i need help to get of zimovane 3 i take a day to relax me i suffer with anxiety terrible anf depression ive went through the mill basically
I'm so proud men have started to open up. I'm 36 and had problems but never dreamed about talking about it but when you see legends do it then you feel you can cause you respect them
Rebel 7 I agree it makes people understand that anyone can go through those kind of problems
Good on you mate
@@TheSparkeyClarkey thanks mate
@truths United thanks bud,means alot
Bottling up your problems isn’t healthy. A problem shared is a problem halved
Paul I hope you read this, you’re a top bloke. I always look forward to soccer Saturday. Good man!!
H R love Merse
When my team is losing or winning I always tune in to get Merse opinion
He’s just a stupid piss head who wasted a good career...
Alexander Marshall

@@creativeamerican8811 he had a career and a good one
"you don't know yourself how can you know someone else?" Wise words from Merson.
Paul Merson is a genius
That’s my nephew guys what a guy 👍 I met Paul Merson at Arsenal with my brother Roger , David’s dad& such a polite man & boy could he run 👍👍👍
David seaman was a real shock for me..id never heard anything about this and I always had such admiration for him, but I’ve ten times that now for him.

Massive respect to these ex-Gooners. (And I’m a Tottenham supporter since 1961).
Good year for you that
61 never again. 71, 2004. Sorry. Gave you a thumbs up though.
I’m nearly 6 months into my new sober life, and I identified with a lot Merson said. Very insightful video, I wish them all well.
Keep it up Michael! You f'in got this!!!
Well done m8👌👍💪
Can still enjoy a drink lol don't have to go complete cold turkey 🤣
All the best mate
Nice work fella. 🤘🏻
It must take a herculean amount of mental strength to go out in front of a baying crowd every week knowing that all eyes are on you. To do it while struggling with mental health issues is on another level entirely, so fair play to these guys.
Three good men. Respect from Ireland 👍
Sounds like three guys who have learned some valuable life lessons and big enough to share.
It takes a real man to talk about their problems and issues! Merson, Groves and Seaman are brilliant. Us guys suffer in silence too much when 3 idols talk about problems it’s a great help to all us. Thank you. We are not alone! It’s good to talk!
It takes alot to open up! Respect lads. Liverpool fan
Paul Merson is so brave for speaking out
He spoke out more that 20 years ago about being an alcoholic and gambler
!00% correct, this man is speaking from a place of honesty and his "humanity shines" through! Courage, Heart and Truth.... Such a great interview and revealing too.... He is so right about the fear of communication for far too many people and it is tragic, I hope this changes.....

I love all 3 of these players, proud they all played for Arsenal during a great time for our club.
David Seaman legend local lad from Rotherham. Great Watching players you watched growing up open up 👏

Great interview- well done guys.

Attention seek u mean
David seamen was mad on fishing and had a cosworth and that was enough for me to like him...and he’s was a top goal keeper
This is brilliant, a great conversation! Well done lads!
For all the feeling bad about yesterday these boys are what i couldnt be and wanted to be! And I'm a Liverpool FC fan! I would have given anything to have been a footy player in 1980s / 90s..
David Seaman is the best goalkeeper I've ever seen
Arsenal legends, thanks for the big shift lads. We need our team to learn respect for our club.
very good on you 3 to come forward. Hat out to all of you!

To anybody suffering …your not alone…You will get better ….brighter days ahead trust me….god bless 💕🙏🏻
