Purse worth the money. When Darren Purse signed for Argyle in the winter of 2011, he had already played and scored in a cup final, won promotion to the Premier League and had a couple of seasons at England's top table. However, the seemingly impossible escape from relegation at the end of the 2011/12 season is the highlight of a 28 year-long career. It was almost a career that didn't even get started, as Pursey pursued a job as a pilot. However, success early on with Orient and Oxford gave him a chance to prove how good he was and Birmingham City under the watchful eye of Trevor Francis was the making of him. A couple of decades and 15 clubs later he's chatting to us. This is the story of, Darren Purse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Who said Footy on the Med had to have a Mediterranean connection? (Er, FOTM's loyal listeners, who didn't mind the occasional QPR game from Alex but have lately been messaging in their droves to say 'We want our Med experience back'.) It's a fair point and one which FOTM HQ is assessing with a view to authorising an improved package for London French, to inspire him to pick up the slack created by the slackers, John and Alex. Meanwhile, it's a short and sweet blast from Alex with QPR 2 Birmingham City 1. Cracking game; zero Med links.
