What Happens Once the Game is Over?
Each week PGA Golfer Louis Harrington, Former Premier Footballer Dean Hammond & Life Outside of Sport Creator Liam Deacy will sit down to explore the highs and lows of life away from the field of play.
This week we speak to former Leicester City defender Steve Walsh, signed from Wigan Athletic for £100,000 the teenage centre half went on to play over 400 games for the foxes and become a club legend.
Walsh scored some of the most important goals in the clubs history at that time including two goals in the Play Off final at Wembley versus Derby County in 1994. He captained the side during their golden period under Martin O’Neill with two League Cups wins, European football and regular top 10 Premier League finishes.
Personal demons were never far from the surface, and these were fully unleashed following his unceremonious departure from Leicester City under Peter Taylor in 2000.
Depression, acute anxiety, alcohol issues, bankruptcy and divorce have plagued his post career life and in this honest conversation Walshy talks candidly about football, life and the contrasting worlds of the old-fashioned and modern day game.
