Oxford United boss says mental health issues ‘not weakness’

Buckingham was praised earlier in the season after wearing a jumper highlighting the importance of mental health for men on the touchline during his side’s match against Burnley at the Kassam Stadium.

The stadium hosted Monday’s event where people could learn about local support and chat with like-minded people.

Buckingham told the BBC: “If we can play our part as a football club to raise awareness of the support that is out there, then we need to do that.”

He continued: “Football, traditionally, has always been about ‘that’s how you do what you do’ and men don’t talk about that sort of thing.”
