Ep. 9 | Movember Miniseries: Kojo & Julian (Ex-West Ham Academy & Southend Pro)

**This episode was recorded on 03/11/20, two days before the four-week national lockdown in the UK**

In the second episode of our Movember Miniseries, we talk to Kojo Apenteng and Julian Okai about the highs and lows of life in academy & pro football. We delve into the politics involved with academy football, the support, or lack thereof, from clubs after being released and how it affected their mental health as well as the best players they've played with and against (listen out for some absolute ballers).

The We Talk Football: Movember Miniseries aims to shine a spotlight on mental health in professional football. Throughout the month of November, we’ll be having conversations with ex-pros who’ve experienced the heartbreak of being released from their clubs at a young age and how they faced the seemingly daunting reality of life after football.
