After The Final Whistle is a powerful video podcast hosted by Premier League reporter and Psychology grad Alison Bender, exploring what really happens to footballers when the game ends. Alison speaks to former Premier League and international players about life beyond the pitch — from identity and resilience to mental health, recovery, and purpose. These are the stories we don’t usually hear: raw, reflective and deeply human. A series about what it means to start again.

After The Final Whistle is here

lundi 13 avril 2026 • Durée 00:09

What happens when football ends suddenly? When the lights go out and the crowds go home, what next? Having interviewed over a thousand Premier League footballers in my job as a Premier League pitchside reporter it's a question I have often wondered about and so I created After The Final Whistle. Real human conversations with ex footballers as I seek to discover The Truth About Life After Football. I'm grateful to have the support of Samaritans as we discuss topics including depression, anxiety, mental health, self harm and suicide, and they have given me training so I handle those conversations with care and responsibility. It's a podcast about reinvention and second careers with some incredible stories that you won't have heard before as I interview them through a different lens. I've been through my contacts book and I know you are going to love the guests I have coming up on the show. So follow and join me for After The Final Whistle. Alison Bender

Chris Kirkland: Addiction, Rock Bottom & Recovery After Football

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

vendredi 24 avril 2026 • Durée 50:03

Some of the hardest moments in football don’t happen on the pitch.

In my first episode of After The Final Whistle, former Premier League goalkeeper Chris Kirkland opens up about his battle with painkiller addiction, the moment he hit rock bottom, and the long road to recovery.

Chris speaks honestly about the pressures of professional football, playing through injury, and the culture of silence around mental health in the game. He shares what addiction really looked like behind the scenes, the reality of withdrawal, and how he rebuilt his life through routine, accountability, and asking for help.

This is a raw and powerful conversation about life after football, overcoming addiction, and why speaking out matters.

Series 1 of After The Final Whistle is proudly partnered with Johnstone’s Paint, a brand with a long-standing connection to football through the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy and a strong commitment to community work.

I also have had the support and training from Samaritans. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can contact Samaritans (UK & ROI) on 116 123 or visit www.samaritans.org
