McAteer: Why we made mental health documentary

Through the Storm, an hour-long film that examines the impact of mental health problems in football and wider society, is available to watch free on YouTube and LFCTV GO.

Former Red McAteer discusses his own battle with depression, which gripped him following his retirement from the game in 2007 and he first revealed in his autobiography.

“I felt I was living a bit of a lie saying everything was OK at the end of my career, that I fell into the media and all the time on my hands was brilliant, when really it wasn’t,” he explained.
