''He also released his autobiography ‘You don’t know me, but... A footballer’s life’, in which he wrote powerfully about a suicide attempt after suffering a career threatening injury in his playing days.

Carlisle, who has a wife Gemma and three children, also presented a BBC documentary called ‘Football’s Suicide Secrets’ and has been open about his own battles with depression.''
