Yes people we are back again with another episode and another massive feature session for you. In our latest feature we welcome current Radio Commentator and TV Pundit and ex Chelsea, Everton and Scotland football player - Mr Pat Nevin.  You won't want to miss this one - one of the nicest guys in football and one of the best storytellers too. Pat joins us to talk through the greatest 11 of players he's ever played with and it goes without saying that the list is World Class!!! Check out Pat's book - The Accidental Footballer here and be on the lookout for his next book 

Pat Nevin didn't wake up one morning and decide that he wanted to be different. He just was. Since his early childhood growing up in a tenement in Glasgow, he was raised to believe that developing through reading and deep self-exploration was a part of life. His earliest role models weren't the great football players before him, but the Glaswegian working-class men and women he admired like his brothers who studied hard and obtained degrees; and the great works of musicians who composed music simply for the joy of doing so. In this episode, Pat discusses his lessons from those musicians and his family upbringing, leading to his well-rounded outlook on life and career and why he titled his book "The Accidental Footballer." "Now, that's the reason why I've written this book called The Accidental Footballer. It's a true honest reflection of how I felt. I liked the idea of playing football for the utter joy and love of it, and that's why I played because I love doing it." Pat's level-head approach to the game ensured that he was prepared to walk away if the game stopped bringing him joy. The idea of standing on what feels right didn't end with his football career; Pat brought the same zeal into his career as a D.J. and Journalist. Pat shares with The Football, Mindset, and Leadership Listeners how his personal compass has evolved with age, his thoughts on where the game is going, and advice for developing your inner compass. ● [00:00:06] We catch up with Pat Nevin ● [00:05:53] Pat explains his early childhood and the lessons that shaped him ● [00:13:12] Pat discusses how he makes difficult decisions and what he does to find peace within those decisions. ● [00:22:37] Instinct or training? Pat takes us through his career highlights and explains the one decision that every player has to make for themselves. ● [00:27:29] Pat has never believed in having "hero's." Listen to him explain why and who he most respects as masters of their craft. ● [00:29:37] How fame and material gains can take the fun away from any endeavor. Learn how Pat keeps his enthusiasm for every area of his life. ● [00:38:24] What is the difference between somebody who understands the psychology of getting the best out of people and those who don't? Pat shares his views. ● [01:05:03] Pat's advice for someone looking to make their own way in the world and his recommended book and resources.

Stamford Chidge interviews former Chelsea player, Pat Nevin, on the release of his autobiography 'The Accidental Footballer'.242 appearances and 45 goals in a five year career for Chelsea between 1983 and 1988 doesn't do justice to a Chelsea player who stole Chelsea supporters hearts then and still does to this day.Pat Nevin was a special player for Chelsea. A successor to Charlie Cooke as a Scottish wizard of the dribble, Pat beat players for fun and created the goals for Kerry Dixon in John Neal's team that won the Division Two title in 1984 and then put Chelsea back on the map competing for the Division One title in the following two seasons, all resplendent in that wonderful stripy Le Coq Sportif kit.As so often with Chelsea, it all went pear shaped as John Hollins and Ernie Whalley imposed a new style on the team that was devoid of any err style and Pat's creative abilities were overlooked before he was sold to Everton after Chelsea were relegated in a play off in 1988.But in those 5 years, Pat became one of Chelsea's most loved players due to his wonderful attacking and wing play and also because he dared to be different. The definition of an independent thinker and non-conformist, we also loved him for his love of indie music, with his head in the NME or a French novel and for his principled stance against racism and other injustices.Stamford Chidge talks to Pat about his book 'The Accidental Footballer' including Pat's views on John Neal, Man City and Arsenal away in 1984, music, John Peel and living in London in the 80's and standing in the Shed End with the supporters.'The Accidental Footballer' is available on Amazon priced at £16.00 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
