Growing up in the shadow of a football legend can shape you in ways beyond the ordinary. My guest, Paul, is a testament to this, having had his father's profound influence guide his early football journey. Pauls's experiences are a powerful exploration of football from its roots - the shared bond between teammates, fundamental lessons learned on and off the pitch, and the enriching encounters with football greats.
As we journeyed through Pauls's life, we found his stories from York to Manchester United utterly captivating. He delves into his transition from a professional contract player to a university student and then onto a coaching journey. His tales, filled with passion and determination, give an incredible insight into the nuances of the sport. We also discussed the critical advice he received from his mentor, Sir Alex and the impact it had on his career trajectory.
