Clarke Carlisle Part 2 / Undr The Cosh Podcast

Clarke Carlisle Part 2 / Undr The Cosh Podcast
This week Clarke continues his story, moving from Leeds onto Watford, Burnley, Preston, and Northampton, speaking openly and honestly about his struggles on and off the field.

[@yeovil50]

I'm going to be honest, when I saw an episode with Clark Carlisle, my first reaction was that this won't be so good as others. His humour and most of all his honesty of the demons he was facing have for me made this the best episode yet.

[@jepfrsh1726]

1000%

[@FCMolde99]

I thought that before the first one, but probably the best 2 episodes they’ve done

[@rogersmith422]

I thought that too. Clarke is a very complex character. Main thing is though. He comes across as a nice human being who tells a story so well with some quality humour thrown in too.

[@eamonhanka]

"I've been at death's door. But I'm here. And I'm content. And I'm happy. And that's a thing - that can happen". Beautiful.

[@Stu412t]

Every single word that came out of Clarke’s mouth is exactly how I’m feeling. I’m scared but hope full to be successful in my end goal. I’d love to have a face to face chat with him. 😓

[@adamrailton7895]

Keep your head mate! For your dark night, there’s a bright day to follow

[@dominicthompson7612]

Stay strong brothers

[@brumsgrub8633]

Hope you doing well mate

[@beardyboy1977]

Honestly blown away with this and how open Clarke Carlisle is, more power to you.

[@northenderp]

I was never a big fan of Clark as a footballer, but this interview has made me realise we have been on similar mental health paths. I was very self destructive and attempted suicide. It was only after my last attempt that I was diagnoses and I am in recovery. Thanks for sharing this incredible journey and don’t forget to ask RUOK.

[@RhodesidesReviews]

Outstanding stuff, not only one of the best Undr the Cosh podcasts but one of the best podcasts of all time

[@martinclarke1672]

Totally agree with Parkey, to have had a career like Clarke has with everything he’s gone through is extraordinary! Great podcast as usual, and massive respect to Clarke for being where he is today. Stay well Clarke and helping people understand more mental health issues ❤️

[@benjigreen9620]

Best one yet! Never been so eager to listen to a part two before. Top man

[@pjtufty66]

Laughter is the Greatest Sound in the World. Keep being Content Clarke . Another great UTC episode .

[@skillspaybillsboxing9637]

Always liked him especially during his punditry days. After this my opinion of him went up even more. A real gentleman, can still see the pain in his eyes. Godbless you Clarke and thank you for giving people suffering hope that there's brighter days to come 👍.

[@sebblackmore3697]

It was an absolute pleasure but also frightening at times, listening to both parts of this podcast! Fair play to Clarke for being so open and having the guts to talk about his career, experiences, thought processes, fears etc because in normal everyday life we tend to sweep the demons under the rug. In the highly competitive professional football industry, or any workplace really, normal people can neglect their own health for too long (mental, physical, emotional health) for the perceived greater good. But if there are underlying issues, ignoring them, masking them or not acknowledging they exist only prolong and exasperate it. It's easy to recognize physical issues but the mental state of well being can be hidden or remain dormant until it's too late. Find someone to talk to if you see any of the warning signs that Clarke talks about here on this podcast. Thank you Clarke Carlisle and massive respect to you. This podcast could help alot of people in the future who suffer with similar illnesses. It might be the most important thing Clarke does in his career, no disrespect to his football ability+ achievements. And finally fair play to the lads at Under the Cosh!! You'd never get this conversation on TV in its entirety. I was half expecting this 2nd part of the podcast to be behind the patreon pay wall and I wouldn't blame them. Clarke's story is known of in the football world and many would think about monetising the 'difficult' part of the conversation. Thanks to all the guys who work at the channel and make sure you get Patreon links in the descriptions of your videos, so we can support and donate. Leon Knight, Geoff Horsfield, Kevin Campbell, John Beresford all worthwhile listening to and I'm going to go through the rest. Thoroughly enjoyed your Villa Park trip last week against Newcastle too!! Keep up the excellent work and content guys!! Thanks and have a good Christmas to you all!!! Massive respect because we all are human, who make mistakes, sometimes life changing ones.

[@adammolloy4916]

What an incredible podcast. Hats off to you lads. And special thanks to Clark - what an incredibly thoughtful, insightful and decent man.

[@tomsherratt9637]

Northampton town fan and season ticket holder for when Clarke was there. I must say what a fantastic servant to the club and football. Leader on and off the pitch and full credit to him being so open and honest about his life and career. Great guy and a outstanding example of overcoming demons and becoming a better person for it. Full credit to you guys best 2 episodes yet

[@waynehiggins4092]

Wow what a man has made me look at my life and the things ive done myself so ive gone out and got hlep before it went to far thank you lads

[@MrTerryb1956]

Without any doubt the best podcast you've done , I remember it breaking on the news that Clarke was taken to hospital.So glad hes come on here to share his story with us , love his sense of humour. Stray strong mate our world would be a poorer place without you . Lets hope you get back into TV punditry and soon, good luck for the future.

[@toffeeman9764]

Best one yet, fantastic and what a wonderful human being.

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

Pure courage. You’re a winner Clarke, having done things most of us can only dream of. Keep pushing on mate!

[@graemecriddle3684]

What a great guy. So honest and brave to admit where he went to and how he felt. He really seems to have reflected to the extent that he can now provide such insight. We need people like this. Keep talking Clarke, you're a great and very funny guy, and thankfully now you don't need anyone to tell you, you've realised it yourself x

[@DanielO11]

Absolutely one of the greatest interviews I've seen in a long long time.You boys just listened and let Clarke speak. Thanks.

[@harrykelly1890]

Just shows it is all about getting your problems off your chest, you're not alone. Best one yet.

[@InterMalager]

He's so open and well spoken about his issues and also has good craic, he's really inspiring and the way we should all aspire to be! Good on him!

[@sezza8516]

Public opinion of Clarke seems to be one of dislike through his selfish actions which they were no matter how nice a lad he is, so it's good he's shown in this opportunity how opinions can be deceptive, he's a sound bloke who sadly had (maybe has) some really bad demons which you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, so glad to see him in a positive way like he is here, I hope his message helps others in need, i'm sure if it helps just one person its an amazing achievement - Best wished for the future Clarke

[@efc1002]

one of the best podcasts yet , what a gentleman clark carlisle is , i wish him so much happiness and to his family .

[@benjaminmulvaney793]

Wow, what a listen. I had a pre conceived idea of this fella and I how I thought he was, embarrassed to admit I’m way off the mark. Thanks for sharing Clarke, lots of what you spoke resonated 👍🏻 great listen and not for the usual banter I enjoy from these podcasts 👏🏽👏🏽

[@BigKingBacon]

Phenomenal podcast the perfect balance between jokes and serious, massive credit guys

[@bryngilwern5766]

Absolutely cracking episode. An elegant and honest portrayal of his life and career.

[@deanmannion7587]

Two brilliant episodes. Never seen him so open and genial before. Absolutely loved that. What a fella! 5*

[@MarkVaughan]

Wow what an interview. The last few minutes when Clarke is talking through the issues he's had is amazing and should give everyone who is struggling real hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel with the right help and support. Brilliant brilliant stuff and Clarke an inspiration.

[@craigrice2146]

What a top man for being able to discuss this. Has helped my Brother and got a lot of time for him.

[@chrisorton6805]

....fantastic note to end on....'anchor yourself in contentment and gratitude for what you've got, while aspiring to achieve more'....great philosophy that!....cheers lads!

[@deanfitz1985]

Incredible to watch and listen. So relatable,suicidal thoughts and manic depression have ruled my life since my early teens,so to see how far clarks come is inspiring

[@lukehilton5690]

Back end was hard to watch feel like he's still harbouring thoughts and feelings... Quite upsetting really. Wish you all the best Clarke and I hope you find happiness... In turn seeing you happy your children will be too. Keep fighting x

[@ilanbenjamin5909]

Amazing man....I'm going through mental health problems. It helped .had a good cry.

[@snuggstcg]

When clarke was naming the Watford squads, it proper brought me back, one of the first squads i watched live as a kid

[@JayloT93]

Full respect to Clarke. This is by far the best one you've ever done. I wish him all the best 👍

[@jimtheyid]

Loved the podcast,what a journey Clarke has been on,so glad he's on the road to recovery,seems a decent bloke

[@mjhmatt91]

One of the best you have done. Awesome

[@davidprovan2466]

Absolutely captivating interview; very relatable in many ways. Brutally honest and inspiring.

[@rightsarentwrong5635]

Love under the cosh. I don’t watch tv so this is kinda my favourite thing to watch every week. I’m sure I speak for all fans of the show by saying the only bad thing about the show is that we don’t have a show every single day. If it was up to me all 3 of you would be locked up in a pub 10 hours a day 6 days a week being fed booze and different guests. On your day off you can do the on the road away day episode. Sounds like a plan right?

[@johncreighton9353]

David Joyce I agree, but I think yer brilliant too 🍀☘️🍀☘️😜

[@eamonhanka]

Fully agree. This is my TV these days.

[@peggberto8832]

Great episode. The honesty is awsome. Refreshingly honest. Must be so many guys watch this and can identify with the things he's been so honest about, brilliant!

[@nathanjgtaylor1985]

I was taken home by the police after they stopped me throwing myself off a bridge during a very dark and stressful period in my life. Clarke telling us about his attempts and his awful incident where he was taken to hospital hit me hard. Such a top guy and I wish him all the best for the future. These are brilliant podcasts lads and I thank you all for doing this one.

[@anthonybutton1041]

..this man is an absolute legend. What a podcast.

[@utley90]

Tremendous pod. Best episode by far and totally relatable for me and my struggles. Bless you all.

[@mattdevereux5940]

what a sound bloke, one of the best you have had on, love his story.been through so much.

[@camGAFC]

Very open & honest. Good questions as well lads. Very good interview

[@rogersmith422]

What a legend Clarke is. I admire his honesty. Comes across as a top, top bloke. Great guest on under the cosh.

[@rtsilks]

Great episode Clarke seems such an amazing bloke

[@tidyyy]

fantastic player at burnley - one of our best defenders ever imo. really good to hear guys talking about mental health issues - the what's and the why's and how it manifests itself. he talks so eloquently about such tough subjects and moments in his personal life. no doubt it'll be an inspiration to many of the 50,000 people who watched this podcast. glad to hear he's content now, and long may it continue!

[@yehudaankonina6031]

My god the reactions here... you probably didn't thought this podcast would be such a success but you are doing something really special and episodes like that really brings you to the hall of fame...well done guys!!!

[@tommcneill]

I watch a lot of these podcasts for the funny stories..but this one...this one was unbelievable hearing Clarke’s story. What a guy and to come back from the brink like he has and have that happy, contented persona is inspirational

[@artisticgoose2609]

Fuck me lads.... What an interview, Clarke you're a legend! Especially opening up like this. I know how hard it is to open like this.

[@chrisrobson5307]

Working my way through these in chronological order, this is your finest work so far lads, great episode 👍🏻

[@jasonwales8731]

Just finished this, I was glued to it some of the things he’s said will help me a lot as it will others👍🏼

[@SWNe]

First time I have watched one of your podcasts. Absolutely fantastic, Clarke was a fantastic guest as well. I will be watching many more!

[@trev4ni1]

Check out Kevin Campbell and Geoff horsfield ones next. Outstanding

[@tonyfolan3992]

Well done Clarke for being so upfront and honest!Also well done for the boys to give the platform to speak.

[@Bpdude08]

I avoided listening to this podcast, thinking Clarke Carlisle was a bit of a kee-nob. But honestly this hit home so hard, half way through drinking a bottle of vodka at 9:30am. The thinking about the way you wanna die is so true, it’s mad. You think and ‘daydream’ about it at times as if it’s the end goal. Mad respect from a Leeds fan that watched you get sent off at Coventry City away.

[@jonthornton4159]

Incredible story. What a brave fella. Keep moving/ looking forward mate

[@gavinjohnson7725]

Absolute quality. 👌. Clarke is an inspiration.

[@laidbackjack3166]

Absolutely superb. Best one i've seen.

[@TheHatevessel]

I loved listening to Clarke talk. Such honesty and humour

[@littlemissy2883]

Clarke Carlisle, you are an inspiration, that as to be the best under the cosh, I've ever listened to ❤️

[@noelmcg1888]

I know this is an old episode but I've just watched it today and that story about driving and looking at the trucks is something i always done and sometimes still do. I thought it was only me who thought that way. Alot of things clarke said in this sound very familiar so i was gripped to every word he said. Well done clarke great episode👍

[@darrenhopper4620]

Loved the mans honesty. Great listen. Glad Clarke is on the right track

[@garethdavies2145]

Great podcast - the guys handle a very difficult and painful subject with great skill, just by being themselves. Tremendous job.

[@tayron27]

Amazing podcast. I too have depression and anxiety and gave tried to ens my life but didn't succeed. The pain of mental illness is often harder than physical pain. I just want to be In peace and relaxed but I can never find it. As each day goes by the harder it get and I've had it for 20 years. Thankyou for tour story Clarke.

[@benneave4921]

This is me when I hear this. Thanks for a great podcast guys. Helped me no end . Feel for him.

[@waynehammerton5698]

Good luck with everything for the future Clarke an absolute brilliant vlog fellas

What a fantastic human being ! Fair play to you fella 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (Blackburn fan)

[@Daynasat]

Fantastic incredible thank you

[@patbeirnes3416]

Brilliant interview amazing journey well said buddy

[@MarvinSumpter]

I watched the whole 3 hours with Clarke last night, and the suicide ideation that he talks about has dogged me for years in exactly the same way. When depression dries up you're left with your mind trying to fool you into getting into as dangerous a situation as possible in order to die. This is isn't happening to me at the moment because I'm being careful about what influences to keep around me, but you're never safe from a destructive mind like that. And I'm afraid there are a lot of media forces in this country trying to 'rub that in' as far as they can. Clarke's got a hell of a lot going on inside, a lot of which if I shut my eyes it's like listening to my own internal dialogue. For example, I caught a thought whilst watching that went, "If only I was courageous enough to walk in front of a lorry, but I'd probably need it to be doing 80mph to finish the job properly." That kind of stuff can come up when you're feeling mostly good about yourself, so it's a daily struggle with self-destruction.

[@jermaineffolkes]

New subscriber to the podcast and I’ve been binge watching them all and this is head and shoulders the best one for me so far! Lads please keep doing what you’re doing with this podcast and maybe when the lockdown is over you can do a live one where us fans can attend

[@dukeofpreston3228]

Blackwell sounds truly horrendous

[@joshleach4651]

We fucking hated him at bury proper shit house

[@johnfields4580]

Being waiting for this

[@davidmorewood144]

Love this channel I joined your. Patreon channel well worth it just to see Olly he is the funniest manager or ex manager around These 2 Clarke Carlise podcasts were brilliant what a guy and what stories please try getting Billie Whitehurst on

[@captainchainsaw8856]

Clarke had had me laughing my fucking arse off before slaying me with his honesty about his mental health struggles.Choked me up, So pleased he survived & his children have their dad.

[@jsg1499]

Great man, Honest and open takes a man to do that

[@harrydaysxlewishallam1748]

Brilliant that was lads👏🏼

[@matthewlangford1365]

Wonderful man

[@chrisgraham9778]

Brilliant+ very raw.

[@jasonallen5525]

Awesome boys good man Clarke take care brother

[@Bobbibouchersmumwasright]

Just sat in the car for 10 mins waiting for my sons team to change for a school game..1hr and 20 mins later and missed the whole game! ... some things are worth it!... Clarke you’re a real man some sad story’s and a load of fuck ups but the fact you’re here telling the story’s not in a box, that’s the sign of a real man xx Good luck in the future xx (oh the boys won 6-3 apparently loooooooooool) 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nigelwilding1145]

Top class. 💙🙏

[@stevekey4976]

Brilliant podcast ,great guy carlise,wud love to have gone on the beer with him

[@gavinn1275]

Incredible 👌🏾

[@slarfpaul545]

This lad was a quality defender and always seemed off the pitch as a gent. Now to know the extent of his demons, seems ridiculous that he did what he did in his career.stay well Clarke and another fantastic episode lads well done

[@chrislc35]

great podcast, love the honesty. one thing i love about all these, is no holds barred stories about people. love that you all name and shame. makes you realise that even now, if your team loses or does something unexpected, you never really know why. could be the dumb manager or a player fight etc.

[@redrick1917]

I lost a friend of mine of Christmas to suicide. He left a lot of people behind including two little girls. I haven't been able to understand why he would do such a thing, but some of Clarkes words have helped me understand a bit more. This fantastic podcast is normally my little break from the day to day with some banter and light hearted football stories. This was entirely different, but extremely poignant. Well done gents.

[@jackwach7928]

This is quality

[@brettbagshaw5920]

Truly inspiring

[@benwayo8]

Losing this guy would have been a absolute travesty,glad here to tell tale.quality guy.

[@WR10678]

Ray Donovan he’s cost someone their life

[@benwayo8]

Nice name btw.

[@WR10678]

Ray Donovan Xbox one gamer tag

[@benwayo8]

Whos life did he end?

[@WR10678]

Ray Donovan i read he tried to jump into the road and a guy in a van died cause he was traumatised by the incident. They didn’t specify how he died I think the family wanted that to be private. But his actions caused trauma upon someone else. He didn’t at least attempt suicide by himself (that’s when I will have empathy) but he included someone else in his selfish act. If that were one of my family member his condolences would mean diddly squat.🙅🏾‍♂️
