Welcome to another installment of our short story series, where we revisit some of the most impactful moments from the past six seasons of our podcast.

As the Premier League kicked off this weekend, it felt fitting to release our next short story featuring Brighton & Hove Albion legend, Bruno Saltor. Bruno's story is one of resilience, honesty, and profound insight—truly a conversation that resonates on a deep level.

In this episode, Bruno shares his journey with me and Gary Peters, opening up about the struggles he's faced both in life and in his football career. From the darkest days of his final year at Valencia to the pressures of professional sports, Bruno speaks with raw honesty about the importance of asking for help and embracing vulnerability. He reminds us that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Bruno's story is a testament to the idea that suffering is a part of life—we all face tough times. But when those moments come, he encourages us to lean forward, to keep pushing through, and to remember that we’re not alone.

With the recent and tragic loss of Graham Thorpe to suicide, Bruno's words carry even more weight. His openness reminds us of the critical need to talk honestly about our struggles, to break down the stigmas surrounding mental health, and to shift the narrative so that we can collectively work to reduce the suicide rate.

This short story is filled with profound and powerful insights that will stay with you long after the episode ends. One message that particularly struck me was:

Join us for this moving conversation with Bruno Saltor—it's one you won’t want to miss.
