Under flat caps and bowler hats: Matthias Sindelar

During these episodes we will take a look back at examples of mental ill health in football from yesteryear.   Today we're doing something a little different, and featuring a footballer widely regarded as the greatest Austrian footballer of all time.  Matthias Sindelar.  I was joined by Avram Liebenau to tell the story of the man who was the talk of Vienna's infamous coffee shops in the 1920's, took on the Nazi party in the 1930's, led the Wunderteam, and remains one of the most influential footballers in the games history.  If you enjoyed this episode, or any of our other episodes, please pop over to apple podcasts, and give us a rating and a review.  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/man-marking/id1506661828 You can find us on Twitter @marking_man and don't forget to use the hashtag #WheresTheTalkingLads  If you have been affected by any of the themes discussed in today's episode, we have listed some organisations below who are there if you need to talk: Samaritans  Call 116 132 for free https://www.samaritans.org/ Papyrus UK Call 0800 068 41 41 Papyrus Website CALM ZONE 0800 58 58 58 https://www.thecalmzone.net/help/helpline/ MIND 0300 123 3393 https://www.mind.org.uk/ The Kaleidoscope Plus Group 0800 059 0123 https://www.kaleidoscopeplus.org.uk/
