Clarke Carlisle reveals a passing stranger saved his life during mental health battle

"I didn't want his help, but this guy came and sat next to me and he hugged me and he cried on my shoulder, just urging me to get in touch with my family."

Former footballer Clarke Carlisle has revealed that a stranger persuaded him to speak to his family rather than take his own life.

The 38-year-old disappeared from home last month and sparked a missing persons appeal before he was found safe and well in Liverpool.
