Cobblers Chats: Clarke Carlisle

When Clarke Carlisle signed for Northampton Town in 2012 it was something of a coup for the club. Having played in the Premier League for both Watford and Burnley, dropping down to the lower half of League Two was a surprise to most Cobblers fans. Clarke joins Charles and Danny to talk about how his career as a footballer began and how he came to play for Northampton Town, culminating in a Play Off Final at Wembley. We also chat about Clarke’s life away from football and the struggles he’s experienced with his mental health, including how his friendships with Aidy Boothroyd and Bayo Akinfenwa helped save his life. **Trigger Warning** In this episode, Clarke Carlisle talks about his suicide attempt. _________________________ Support the show If you'd like to support the podcast, we'd really appreciate it.
