For a special Citytalk show looking at Mental Health issues both in sport and outside of it Neil Atkinson and John Gibbons are joined in the studio by Mark Boyns of Opening Up Cricket. Mark has been using sport as a way of addressing the causes of illnesses for a number of years now.

On the phone the three are joined by Luciana Berger MP, Stan Collymore and Ronnie Irani.

This is an Anfield Wrap show which isn’t about The Reds and we hope you will share widely with your friends whoever they support, even if they support no one.

Huge thanks to everyone for speaking frankly and openly and giving up their time.
