or manchester united, they start at this level, then they go on to bigger and better things. it doesn't happen for everybody, but everybody does it for the love of football. i don't think they start the grassroots thing with the goal of being a professional footballer, they probably want to be but realise that they probably won't. without grassroots, there would be football. there would not be football. what sort of a year has hersham had? for quite a lot of it, kids haven't been able to play. last year was horrendous because the season stopped and it didn't restart. this same happened this year, but with all the hard work they managed to get football going again. they all have played football, which is brilliant. we did see the season out with a break in the middle. ultimately, they are all playing football.
1:31 pm
i still have the boys down here playing football. as a club we did really well this year. dave bradford. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. it is still pretty cloudy but that will lead to thundery showers and they are most likely to develop across parts of wales and northern england. more showers arriving in scotland, the odd one for northern ireland. brightening up in the south—west of the few showers, still cloudy in the south—east but the rain and drizzle we are seeing at the moment slowly fading away, so the weather improving at wimbledon. top temperature day probably in glasgow at 23 degrees away from those showers. still some heavy and thundery ones this evening, tending to fade overnight, it does become drive everywhere. a lot of cloud around overnight, quite low cloud so it will be a bit misty in places and we will see temperatures down to ii or 12 degrees typically. quite a cloudy start again tomorrow. again, it will brighten up in many places,
1:32 pm
some sunshine coming through, heavy showers more likely across northern england, scotland, northern ireland, some more cloud coming back into wales and the south—west bringing patchy rain so it will be cooler than today here. hopefully brighter skies and more sunshine in the south—east and east anglia with temperatures up to around 21 celsius. now on bbc news, broadcaster ben zand and four men from the world of sport and social media come together to discuss all the things we find hard to talk about — but should — in man up. for me i find it impossible to cry. like, i cover my emotions with laughter, joking around, being a fool. even when you are by yourself? ifind it so hard, i can't appear to be weak. so what's it like being a man? mental health isn't always the easiest thing to talk about. but we also have a lot of feelings so we probably should. we've got five men in a room to do just that. this is man up. a room to do just that.
1:33 pm
the first thing i want to talk about is masculinity. i've got quite an interesting stat here. it's that 36 of men alter their personality to appear more masculine. do you guys feel like you are currently altering your personality to be more manly? it depends on the situation, i think. sometimes when you are around a big group of boys, suddenly it's like you feel a bit more bouncy, you are a bit more like, yes, geez, what's happening? when really if you're around your pals you can tone it down a little bit. why do you think that is? i think there is a pride thing, whether it be in friendships or relationships, pride is a big issue. don't mug me off, don't make me feel small, it is a respect thing. i think it could be a defence mechanism depending on your environment. even growing up as a kid, i was a proper good, placid, happy—go—lucky child, and as soon as i went to secondary school it was like going into a zoo
1:34 pm
so i had to get this kind of armour on me, do you know what i'm saying? that is where your masculinity starts coming from, for me. it's sad, though, isn't it, because i suppose that's the moment that you stop talking about your emotions so much and put up a mask a bit. i think as men we struggle to do the emotions kind of thing. - the masculinity obviously. is a front for a lot of things that we are trying to hide. would you, like, cry in front of your friends? you don't want to appear weak, especially in front of a group . of guys, coming into a new group i of people, you don't want to appear that you are less of a man than the man sitting nextl to you or standing next to you, do you know what i mean? - for me, i find it impossible to cry. like, i cover my emotions with laughter, joking - around, being a fool. even when you are by yourself, you can't? i find it so hard, man. - i can't appear to be weak. i think i was at a stage like that at some point. i felt like that when i was younger.
1:35 pm
if i ever felt down i held it in and held it in and it led to the situation of self harming and stuff like that. it's the only way i could get a release from stuff, cutting myself. do you know what i mean? i used to punch walls and doors and wrecked my mum's house. my name's david cox, i'm 30 years old and currently play football for cowdenbeath football club in scotland. i've suffered from her mental health issues from a very young age, probably about 14 or 15 years old. and on a number of occasions i've tried to take my life. the pressures of playing football and having people knowing what's going on throughout my life and the issues i've faced, it's been hard. was there, i suppose, anybody
1:36 pm
in your lives that you could talk to about your emotions? could you talk to your dad about it? no. i mean, i'm sure if i'd ever spoken to my dad about my emotions he'd have been fine with it. but ijust look at him and go, no way. going and approaching your dad with something like that and making yourself look so weak in front of the person you want to look the strongest in front of. exactly, it's this thing about being weak, where does that come from? why does crying equal weakness? where i was brought up, i was brought up with my brother to be a hardy kind of boy, you know what i mean? and it'sjust, i don't know, it's had a negative impact on my whole life. it is funny because we all are saying weakness is being sad. even i'm sitting here going, that is totally what it is, because it is so conditioned in our head. but then the only emotion men can express is anger. i recognise now showing emotions and being able to cry is showing strength. sometimes you can get stuck in a rut where you are so used to kind of suppressing your emotion for so long it actually becomes hard to release, do you know what i'm saying? inside i'm probably screaming deep down but i'm so used to not showing my emotions,
1:37 pm
it is hard for them to come out now. sometimes you are forced to show your emotions, aren't you? you had a pretty bad crash in which kind of your whole career was thrown off. yeah. my name'sjames ellington, i'm 33 years old and i'm a team gb sprinter. i was a pretty successful sprinter. i had olympic experience. i went to the 2012 olympics for the 200 metres, a couple of world championships, and i also had two gold european medals to my name. in january of 2017 we were on a training camp in tenerife. me and one of my training partners went to go and explore and have a look at the volcano. and sadly on the way back down from doing the whole tourism bit we had a head—on collision with a can _ i ended up breaking both of my legs, my pelvis, tearing my abductors off the bone, fractures. you name it, i pretty much had it. a lot of people, rightly so, thought my career would be over, completely finished. and i'm currently still
1:38 pm
trying to get back. i think being an athlete and having a mentality of always moving forward and looking forward, i wasjust thinking about, can i come back? so kind of maybe i'll deal with it in a couple of years time, maybe it will come out. but even to this day now, i think about it all the time, and obviously it has been a struggle and still is a struggle. but i haven't, which i don't think is healthy, i haven't shed no tears, really. do you think, because another stat is 42% of men think that they should be the main breadwinner in their life. is that something that resonates? yeah. if the bill came i feel a need to grab the card machine. you know what i mean? it's mine, let me put my card in. it makes me feel good to be able to provide, do you understand? it might not be the pc thing that i should pay, but i want to open the door, i want to pay for the bill, i want to come home,
1:39 pm
you know what i mean? i'm not asking for dinner on the table or anything like that but i do want to be the alpha. it's kind of like you want to be in control? maybe, do you think that's what it is? you've probably got a lot of men that feel inadequate because you kind of go back to a traditional household 30 years ago or whatever, it would be the man going to work, providing, the woman looking after the kids. but nowadays some men might feel like they don't have a place, my mrs is earning more than me. you know what i'm saying? how you are going to pay— for diapers, rompers, wipes, food? i was always 0lu the footballer and now i'm just 0lu. - my name's 0lu, i'm 26 years old, | i started my career at tottenhamj from the age of 7 to 18. from there i moved from tottenham to norwich and from norwich - to falkirk in scotland. |my career, i'd say, has been a weirdj one because i've had so many highs. at the same time i've had so many lows. i i've faced an identity crisis -
1:40 pm
where i was trying to figure out who i was as a person _ and the transition from everyday and the transition from every day training to then becoming, _ you know, your average joe was hard. i saw my dad being the main breadwinner all the time. . coming home late, working all hours of the night, - travelling up and down the country, being the sole breadwinner. - and i was thinking i need to be that. l i cannot not be the man that my woman looks i at me and is like, he a bum. at me and is like, he's a bum. i made decisions and decided to make money in ways that, you know, -
1:41 pm
obviously i shouldn't have done. but i had to because i needed to be that man figure that she wanted, i you know what i mean? or that i felt that she needed. does it kind of apply to the image you project of yourself on your instagram? i was looking at it before. big expensive cars, six pack abs. ain't no six—pack anymore, boy, i'm telling that for free! i'm guilty of it massively. before i even had a big following, when i had one, two, three, 4,000 followers, which is still a lot of people, but you'd end up doing things purely for gratification. so like, i know for a fact if the sun is over there, the beach is over here, i would turn around, abs looking sick, who was going to like that? i'm going to look at that picture and think, cool, it took me ten pictures to get the right one. but i know when the likes start rolling in from certain people, a certain amount, that gives me gratification and satisfaction. that was before i had a big following. you get in your head about it, the more followers you have, the more people that judge and comment. hi, i'mjosh denzel,
1:42 pm
i'm 27 years old, and you might recognise me from season four of love island. obviously love island gives you a huge platform, a bit of notoriety, i guess you could call it celebrity, which comes with many, many ups and downs. there is also a lot of pressure on you through social media, whether it is through your own doing, orthrough the public perception of you, what you believe the public's perception of you is, to kind of live a lifestyle. would you ever post on instagram, i'm feeling sad today? like, a kind of emotional post? i'm not someone who really talks about my emotions that much to my friends. but sometimes, i've not done it, but sometimes i think it is a big deal to put yourself out there, make yourself vulnerable to all of those people. for me, i think because of the industry i'm in, i know a lot of the people that i see on instagram in real life,
1:43 pm
you go on their social media page and they look like they are having the best time in the world and they are the happiest people. and i know these people personally, and some of these people i know, obviously no names, are some of the most insecure people you will ever, ever meet. do you guys ever say to your friends, i'm feeling sad? like, actual sadness. i might feel a bit depressed today. i will freely speak about it to my best mates and stuff. i've got a manager i've been with for the past five years and the reason i stay and follow him is that he knows what he's getting, i know what i'm getting in terms of the mental—health side of it because i've had managers the past that have wanted nothing to do with me because i've struggled. even before i first came out in the papers with my story, i would never have thought about speaking about it. the dressing room can be the loneliest place in the world. what about modern day masculinity? would you change? what about modern day
1:44 pm
masculinity would you change? who cares if a guy shows emotions? just because we are men it doesn't mean we are any different in the way we feel much of what women do, or anything like that. we go through the same stuff, feel the same feelings. so why is it ok for them to show there and we feel like we can't? has anybody experienced the pressure? i has anybody experienced the pressure?— has anybody experienced the ressure? ., �* ~ ., mm pressure? i don't know, maybe. when ou have a pressure? i don't know, maybe. when you have a headache, _ pressure? i don't know, maybe. when you have a headache, you _ pressure? i don't know, maybe. when you have a headache, you know- pressure? i don't know, maybe. when you have a headache, you know what. pressure? i don't know, maybe. when| you have a headache, you know what a headache feels like because you've had five before, all of your mates have had a headache. sometimes when i feel down you feel deeply sad for a period of time but you just go, i'm in a bad way, i'm upset, this is bothering me. i couldn't put a pin on it. ., , ~' �* , bothering me. i couldn't put a pin onit. ~ �*, , on it. people think it's 'ust somebodyi on it. people think it's 'ust somebody wakes * on it. people think it's 'ust somebody wakes up h on it. people think it'sjust somebody wakes up in - on it. people think it'sjust somebody wakes up in the on it. people think it'sjust - somebody wakes up in the morning on it. people think it'sjust _ somebody wakes up in the morning and lo, somebody wakes up in the morning and -o, | somebody wakes up in the morning and go. i don't _ somebody wakes up in the morning and go, i don't feel good today, and it's not — go, i don't feel good today, and it's not it's _ go, i don't feel good today, and it's not. it's more than that. you feel_ it's not. it's more than that. you feel terrible _ it's not. it's more than that. you feel terrible about yourself. you

1:59 pm
will brighten up later today. elsewhere, we will find more sunshine coming through triggering a few more showers, some of them heavy and thundery, particularly across parts of wales and northern england but more showers are breaking out in scotland and there could be one or two in northern ireland. highest temperature today will be around the glasgow area around 23 degrees away from those showers. still some heavy ones around into the evening, gradually tending to fade away and for many places it does become dry overnight. a lot of cloud, as you can see command that will be quite low cloud so it will be quite misty by the morning. temperatures typically down to ii or 12 degrees. tomorrow it should brighten up in many places again. some sunshine coming through, but again we have the risk of some heavy showers, more especially across northern england, scotland and northern ireland. for wales and the south—west of the cloud will thicken in the afternoon, could be some patchy rain, cooler than today. towards parts of the midlands, east anglia and south—east, a dry and bright today with some sunshine so temperatures will be a bit higher.
