Podcasts about Huyton

Described by Everton's most-successful manager Howard Kendall as the Blues' most-important signing since the Second World War, Peter Reid joins Chris Beesley for the latest episode of Goodison Park: My Home. Reid first played at ‘The Grand Old Lady' when he was just 14 years old for Huyton schoolboys but back then he was a Liverpool fan. The midfielder underwent an emphatic conversion though following his transfer from Bolton Wanderers to Everton in 1982 and having helped the Blues lift the FA Cup in 1984, he was voted PFA Players' Player of the Year by his fellow professionals in 1984/85 as the club enjoyed their best-ever season, winning the League Championship with five games to spare plus the European Cup-Winners' Cup. After suffering the heartbreak of finishing runners-up to Liverpool in both the League and FA Cup the following year – refusing to take part in the joint open top bus parade after the Wembley final between the two local rivals – Reid and his team-mates would bounce back from injury and adversity to secure another title in 1986/87 before Kendall departed. Reid recalls Everton's glory days plus banter with team-mates and fans with his typical sense of humour in what is a fun-filled chat, although he almost spills coffee all over the studio when Chris asks him about an amusing incident in an FA Cup semi-final. Also, ahead of Mothers' Day, there is poignancy as the 68-year-old recalls the emotional scenes when his lifelong Evertonian mum was captured on camera, celebrating the 1985 League Championship success at Goodison Park.   Gavin Buckland's Book 'The End' | Order your copy here: https://tinyurl.com/GavinBucklandTheEnd Everton FC podcasts from the Liverpool ECHO's Royal Blue YouTube channel.

For today's episode, we return to a comment made by Professor David Egan in a previous episode, where he identified community focused schools as important in supporting pupils and their families living in poverty.To dig a little deeper into what they are and what they do, we've invited Dr Jan Huyton to the studio. Jan has done a lot of work on this, and also uses a multi-agency approach when teaching on the MA in Education here at Cardiff Met.Jan tells us what community focused schools can be, what they do, and what obstacles we need to overcome to join up various types of organisations which seek to support children and families.--------------------------------------------------------------Recorded in studio B2.15 at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed Campus on 24th April 2024

CONTENT WARNING: Recent Sonya Lynaye Wilburn-Massey Police Murder + Racially Motivated Murder of Anthony Walker. - In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews makes plain three news items. Firstly the recent unlawful murder of Sonya Massey by the police for no reason; and the need to center Black women killed by the police too (#SAYHERNAME). Secondly, he makes plain that Jamaica (and the Caribbean) is a prison colony. Third, he makes plain that probable presidential nominee Kamala Harris is not the solution to our problems; she's a Black face in a high place (#WhiteHouseNegro). She has no program, no solution, and will not do anything for Black people because the US president by design can't do anything for Black people.  - In this week's Black United Front interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dominque Walker, an ex-police officer, about Dominque's far-reaching abolitionist and antiracist work, particularly with the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation. Her work in academic spaces as a lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University and with The Goddess Project, a Black women's group. They talk about Dominque's experiences of racism and sense of safety living and growing up in Liverpool in White-majority and Black & Brown-majority areas.  In 2005, when Dominque was 19, her brother Anthony Walker, 18, from Huyton, Liverpool, was brutally murdered by two White males Paul Taylor and Michael Barton on July 30, 2005. It was a racially motivated axe attack as Anthony walked with his cousin and his White girlfriend across McGoldrick Park in Huyton (a predominantly White area), Liverpool. In response, they, including her mum, Dr Gee Walker, founded the Anthony Walker Foundation to tackle racism, hate crime, and discrimination by providing educational opportunities, providing victim support services, and promoting equity and inclusion for all. They discuss the aftermath and the journey toward justice, which ultimately goes on until the offenders die and the trauma.  - Dominique Walker is a mum from Liverpool born and raised; chair of the antiracist charity Anthony Walker Foundation (20 years in inception); co-founder of the Goddess Project a project that celebrates and centers Black women in Liverpool (with about 100 women involved); lecturer in Criminology and Policing Studies at the School of Justice at Liverpool John Moores University; and a PhD student (dissertation: Abolish Hate Crime Policing). For 11 years she was a hate crime and domestic violence detective with the Merseyside Police Protecting Vulnerable People Sigma Hate Crime Investigations unit. - BLACK WORLD NEWS LINKS Black women-led stream gets 90K viewers, raises $1.5M US for Kamala Harris in a few hourshttps://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/kamala-harris-black-women-zoom-1.7273791 Everything we know about the Sonya Massey shootinghttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sonia-massey-police-shooting-mental-illness-b2585416.html - #SayHerName Black Women's Stories of Police Violence and Public Silence by Kimberlé Crenshaw and African American Policy Forum, Foreword by Janelle Monáehttps://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1632-sayhername#:~:text=%22Reading%20%23SayHerName%20is%20an%20act,%2C%20a%20family%2C%20a%20community. #SAYHERNAME | AFRICAN AMERICAN POLICY FORUM | BLACK WOMEN ARE KILLED BY POLICE TOO   https://www.aapf.org/sayhername International Slavery Museum https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/international-slavery-museum - GUEST + BUF LINKS Anthony Walker: A life that left a legacy https://archive.voice-online.co.uk/article/anthony-walker-life-left-legacy Anthony Walker Foundation Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/awf19872005 Anthony Walker Foundation https://anthonywalkerfoundation.com/ The Goddess Projects  https://www.facebook.com/thegoddessprojects1 Dominique Walker - Staff Profile - Liverpool John Moores UniversitySchool of Justice Studies Faculty of Arts Professional and Social Studies https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/staff-profiles/faculty-of-arts-professional-and-social-studies/school-of-justice-studies/dominique-walker - THE HARAMBEE ORGANISATION OF BLACK UNITY NEEDS YOU Harambee Organisation of Black Unity (Marcus Garvey Centre + Nicole Andrews Community Library, Birmingham, UK)https://www.blackunity.org.uk/ CAP25 - Convention of Afrikan People - Gambia - May 17-19, 2025 (Everyone's Welcome) On Malcolm X's 100th birthday, the Harambee Organisation of Black Unity is bringing together those in Afrika and the Diaspora who want to fulfill Malcolm's legacy and build a global organization for Black people.

In this update, we share the dramatic events following a massive fire near our facility in Huyton, Liverpool. Our business was impacted by the fire at a nearby commercial recycling plant, which prompted a swift response from the Merseyside and Chester fire services. Over the past week, we had to halt our operations, leading to a backlog in production and some smoke-damaged stock. As we strive to catch up, we discuss our recovery efforts, including offering smoke-damaged items at reduced rates and considering a move to a safer facility. We express our heartfelt gratitude for the support from our community and outline our plans to get back on track.Chapters:00:00 A Week of Challenges00:18 The Fire Incident01:53 Immediate Response05:53 Impact on Business Operations08:00 Recovery and Moving Forward11:29 Smoke-Damaged Stock Sale15:00 Future Plans and GratitudeTune in to MakingTime to gain a deeper understanding of the watch industry and to hear from the experts themselves.

Guest host Kofi Fosu Forson with the innovative, genius-minded energy of the septuagenarian artist and performance artist, George Lund, began in the town of Huyton, Liverpool. In a household of ten children, what he grew accustomed to was living with chickens. 70's culture drew him to dance and performance, origins of his alter ego, Funkadelic Chicken. As a founding member of the defunct cultural initiative, Transvoyeur, he has exhibited internationally. He now spends time volunteering, bringing a worldwide audience to the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral where he conducts drawing exercises. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/noah-becker4/support

The Michael Anthony Show is joined by the ever fascinating Joey Barton for Episode 172. The Liverpudlian explores a wide variety of topics throughout a unique conversation in which he opens up on his childhood in 1980's Huyton and the subsequent role it has played in his controversy fuelled adulthood, familial relationships, his recently polarising criticisms of female pundits in the male game, an on-field career that saw him achieve an England cap in 2007, his plans for the future and many other aspects of his philosophically minded worldview.  One of the truly idiosyncratic characters of modern football, Barton's journey has been one of madness, rebellion, mistakes, retribution and curiosity, with the former City midfielder never shying away from looking deep inside for the answer to life's more important questions.Rate/Review.

Join us on The Coaching Podcast as we welcome our esteemed guest, Coach Vicky Huyton, the founder, and visionary behind the Female Coaching Network. Vicky's unwavering honesty and vulnerability shine through in this episode, fueled by her firm belief that a passion for learning opens doors to infinite possibilities. As coaches, Vicky encourages us to introspect on our self-perception and the authenticity we bring to our coaching practice. She emphasizes the transformative power of thought-provoking questions, which pave the way for strategic and sustainable change in the future. If you're eager to uncover the true essence of coaching and gain valuable insights into crafting impactful introductions, then this episode is a must-listen. Remember, the journey toward becoming exceptional coaches begins with our personal growth. Some of the highlights include; 1.27: Best coaching moment: Problem-solving - impacting the way a team and individuals warm up (teaching correct running technique). 4.51: Worst coaching moment: Being an introverted coach (extreme shyness) and being nervous about trying to prove her knowledge. 7.14: Introversion is a superpower - we need a diversity of coaches. 11.07: Sliding Doors: Moving from being a teacher (failing) and becoming a coach and starting the Female Coaching Network. 14.46: What Makes a Great Coach? "Passion for learning." (Empathy, selflessness, and passion). The minute you make coaching about yourself, that is when the problems arise. How long have you been learning while you are coaching? 17.53: Learning about how people hold themselves and how they explain themselves. The importance of female role models delivering their convictions authentically. 23.20: How do you create change? Remember why you exist? To support the athletes. If you are stuck in your ways, either leave or keep learning. How can you adapt to the times? To the athlete? To the sport? Park your ego! 28.12: When did you realize that questions are the answer? 32.45: The backstory of The Female Coaching Network - It's a platform that connects women, asks questions, and then delivers change in a strategic and sustainable way. Early Mission: Convincing sports that we need women. You can't create change by being passive - it's time to get strategic. Nikey Sponsorship: Research the landscape of the female coach and athletes. Mission: Being a bridge between the coach, the athlete, and the federation needs to be successful. 38.49: Male champions of change - Ask questions to gain knowledge and then take action on the answers in order to create change!

Website: https://www.femalecoachingnetwork.com Twitter: @FemaleCN Instagram: femalecoachingnetwork Linkedin: Vicky Huyton Book Recommendations ​Vicky is very passionate about helping coaches learn and read more books. In addition to her recommendation of What Makes a Great Coach?, Vicky also strongly endorses the following book recommendations around cultures and systems: Zanballer by RR Knudson - a book recommended to me by a friend who now coaches in the NFL, published in 1972 and probably not in print anymore! Its a fictional story about a girl in high school who would rather play football than be a cheerleader. As a woman of a generation where there were no football teams for girls at school, and certainly, no female coaches to lead many of the sports I played, this book put a smile on my face all the way through and reminds me why day in, day out, I fight for the rights of women and girls in sport. Forty Million Dollar Slaves by Williams C. Rhoden - a fascinating read of the history of black athletes in sport. It gives you a deep understanding not only of the journey of sports rationalisation and how it affected black athletes, but also a view as to how sports governance and structures can be oppressive by taking advantage of talent when it suits. Culture By Design by David J Friedman - a brilliant framework of how to intentionally design, or redesign culture within an organisation. The author has created 8 steps in which to work through, starting with what culture actually is, to how you communicate and live that culture. Whether you follow the steps directly or not, it's a great guide with plenty of tips and advice that are very much needed in today's sporting world. Fix the System, not the Women by Laura Bates - is a terrifying dive into the multitude of areas in which women are discriminated against in everyday life in the Western world. Her book echos our message at the FCN ‘fix the system, not the women' as we push for change in the sports systems that create barriers for the progression of female coaches. Whilst many federations continue to plough resources into creating ‘women coach development programmes', the actual barriers that exist to women reaching the elite levels is the system of poor recruitment practices, bullying, sexual abuse, unavailable networks and lack visibility. The League by John Eisenberg - is a very nerdy look into the NFL and how it became the mammoth league it is today. Whilst it is specific to American Football and the NFL, it gives you a good understanding into the rationalisation of the league, and all its good, bad and ugly we see today. I think it's an important read for anyone working in sports development, for similar reasons as the book 'Forty Million Dollar Slaves', it widens your understanding of the development of sport, how and why it was rationalised for certain groups in society, and why it's difficult for women to break through into its leadership.

**This episode contains explicit language (swearing) and discussion of suicide throughout which some listeners may find distressing.**  In this episode we'll hear from two events at Gravity and two different guests linked by their experiences of being on the frontline in responding to fellow humans in moments of crisis.  Tony Schumacher grew up in Huyton in Liverpool, and was a police officer for over a decade before the pressure of the job caused his mental health to fray. He eventually left the force and began writing, which he credits with saving his life. After publishing several novels, Tony wrote a TV script drawing on his experiences in the police, which became ‘The Responder', a unique, uncompromising major drama series which aired on BBC1 in January 2022. Tony came to Gravity and discussed ‘The Responder' and his life and career with Greg Jenkins, Young Person's Mentor at The Reader.  Chris Dowrick is a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool and a practising GP. Chris is the author of the well-known book Beyond Depression, and, more recently, of Reading to Stay Alive: Tolstoy, Hopkins and the Dilemma of Existence. This book draws on case histories of Chris' patients, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, and poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins to speak powerfully about moments of crisis and desperation. Chris talked via video link at Gravity festival to Philip Davis, Emeritus Professor of English literature at the University of Liverpool.  Tony Schumacher  The Responder on BBC iPlayer  Greg Jenkins on The Reader Podcast (Episode 8)  Chris Dowrick  Reading to Stay Alive: Tolstoy, Hopkins and the Dilemma of Existence, published by Anthem Press  Reading for Life by Philip Davis  Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy  ‘No worst, there is none' by Gerard Manley Hopkins  ‘The Journey' by Edward Field 

This week on The Lonely Arts Club, Martin McQuillan is joined by author and screenwriter, Tony Schumacher, Tony, who grew up in Huyton, Liverpool, is the creator and writer of hit BBC drama, The Responder, starring Martin Freeman. The series took over our screens and had everyone talking earlier this year. Although admitting that learning was a huge challenge for him growing up, Tony always had ambitions of becoming a writer and although he often kept this aspiration to himself, the seed had been planted and it never left his mind.  After a run of poorly suited jobs, Tony surprised even himself when he landed a position in the police force. Thinking that was his career, pension and retirement years mapped out for him, a turbulent few years later and a serendipitous meeting in a taxi meant that the writing dream was still not over.We hear of the ups, the downs and all the gritty bits that have brought Tony to where he is now. Please note that some listeners may find it hard to hear about certain incidents that Tony found particularly hard to deal with, which also affected his mental health. 

This week on The Lonely Arts Club, Martin McQuillan is joined by Mal Young. Mal, who was born and bred in Huyton, Liverpool admits that growing up, he didn't know much about working in media but as he looks back on his childhood and his love for television, it seems he was always destined for a life behind the lens. Reminiscing about his home life, Mal laughs as he confesses to pretending to be a programme scheduler when he had control of the family television and VHS, however this isn't a million miles away from the path that his career was about to take. A sequence of serendipitous moments perhaps, or through sheer determination and passion, Mal career in television has been hugely successful. Working his way up in Brookside, Mal played a huge part in some of the soap opera's biggest storylines, which opened up a multitude of avenues for him. We hear about Mal's time working for the BBC and how he's ended up crossing the pond, spending half of his time in America. With some great tips for those wishing to follow in his footsteps, hear Mal's story during the episode, available to download on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and many more podcasting platforms.

From Andy Robertson’s 'Now You’re Gonna Believe Us', to 'Greatest Games' by Jamie Carragher, and to Melissa Reddy’s 'Believe Us', if you’re looking for a Liverpool FC book for Christmas, or even to get you through this latest lockdown, then there’s plenty to choose from. And we’d just like to introduce you to another... it’s called 'Klopp: My Liverpool Romance', and it’s written by journalist, author and lifelong Red Tony Quinn. For 15 years Huyton-born Tony was the film critic for the Independent. He is also the author of six novels. But this book is his first dive into the world of sportswriting – and it is the first UK-written book about the man who has guided Liverpool back to the top of English, European and World football. It’s not a biography in the conventional sense, more an ode, as Tony jokes, to ‘the third person in his marriage’... Jurgen Klopp. And earlier this week Paul Wheelock had to chance to speak to Tony from his home in London, all about the book, and all about his beloved Liverpool FC.

Liverpool - EnglandLiverpool is a city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside, England. Its population in 2019 was approximately 498,042. This makes Liverpool the tenth-largest English district by population, and the largest in Merseyside and the surrounding region. It lies within the UK's sixth-most populous urban area. Liverpool's metropolitan area is the fifth-largest in the UK with a population of 2.24 million.Liverpool is on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary and historically lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in North West England's county of Lancashire. It became a borough in 1207 and a city in 1880. In 1889, it became a county borough independent of Lancashire. Its growth as a major port was paralleled by the expansion of the city throughout the Industrial Revolution. Along with general cargo, freight, and raw materials such as coal and cotton, merchants were involved in the slave trade. In the 19th century, Liverpool was a major port of departure for English and Irish emigrants to North America. It was home to both the Cunard and White Star Line, and was the port of registry of the ocean liners RMS Titanic, RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Mary, and RMS Olympic.This Episode contains the Hometown Murder Cases of:Anthony Delano Walker (21 February 1987 – 30 July 2005) was a Black British student of Jamaican descent who was murdered with an ice axe by Michael Barton (brother of footballer Joey Barton) and Barton's cousin Paul Taylor, in an unprovoked, racially motivated attack on the night of 29 July 2005 in Huyton, Merseyside. Walker was eighteen years old and was in his second year of A-levels. He lived with his parents, Gee Walker and Steve Walker, his two sisters and one brother. The case recently turned into a BBC drama.Rhys Milford Jones (27 September 1995 – 22 August 2007) was murdered in Liverpool at the age of 11 when he was shot in the neck. Sean Mercer, aged 16 at the time of the shooting, went on trial on 2 October 2008, and was found guilty of murder on 16 December. Mercer was sentenced to life imprisonment serving a minimum of 22 years.James Patrick Bulger (16 March 1990 – 12 February 1993) was a 2-year-old boy from Kirkby, Merseyside, England, who was abducted, tortured and killed by two 10-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, on Friday, 12 February 1993. Bulger was led away from the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle as his mother had taken her eyes off him momentarily. His mutilated body was found on a railway line 2.5 miles (4 km) away in Walton, Liverpool, two days after his abduction. Thompson and Venables were charged on 20 February 1993 with Bulger's abduction and murder.

In a special edition of the Official Everton Podcast, Victor Anichebe and Ben Osu of the Anthony Walker Foundation (AWF) shared their experiences as black men growing up in Liverpool. The BBC One drama Anthony, to be broadcast at 8.30pm on Monday (27 July), will revisit the murder of 18-year-old Anthony in Huyton 15 years ago, and imagine the life he could have had. Former Everton striker Anichebe was 17 at the time of Anthony's death and profoundly affected by the racially-motivated killing. He told Osu, Strategy Lead of the AWF, about his own encounters with racism after moving with his parents from Nigeria to England. The pair talked about the ongoing campaign for racial justice after unarmed black man George Floyd died following his arrest in Minneapolis – and the emotions triggered by events of the past two months.

In July 2005 Anthony Walker an 18 year old black man was killed in a racist attack in Huyton, Merseyside. Jimmy McGovern’s new BBC drama Anthony - inspired by conversations with Gee Walker, Anthony's mother – is a 90 minute film looking at what his life might have been like had he lived. The story works backwards from him imagined at age 25 – married, a father and on his way to a successful career as a lawyer - to the night of his death. Adrian McKinty almost gave up writing but was persuaded to give another shot with a storyline that had been bubbling away in his head for several years, and now the book he wrote has won the UK's most prestigious prize for crime fiction. His psychological thriller The Chain has been named as the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel Of The Year. The closure of theatres and performance venues during the pandemic has affected many artists, but for dancers it’s been particularly hard. The future is uncertain especially for those young dancers about to embark on a career in the industry. Sharon Watson is the CEO and Principal of the Northern School of contemporary Dance in Leeds. How has the college continued to prepare its students for the future, and what now for those young dancers looking for work in an arts industry struggling to survive? 25-year-old Tyler Mitchell has quickly and suddenly become one of the most in-demand photographers in the world. In 2018, his portrait of Beyoncé on the front of American Vogue made him the first black photographer—and one of the youngest people ever - to create a cover in the magazine’s 125-year history. His new book, I Can make You Feel Good presents his vision of what he calls Black utopia .

Straight From The Off welcomes Tony Sullivan to the Podcast. Sully was a lightning fast attacker with a keen eye for goal, his performances for APH and Mainstay earned him a crack at the paid ranks with Stalybridge Celtic along with his pal Lee Trundle. His infectious appetite for the game has seen him play for a number of well renowned clubs in the city including Waterloo Dock, Page Celtic, Canada and Old Bank. He tells us about playing and managing within semi-pro football and he talks about his favourite goals, games and all about the lads he shared a pitch with and played against throughout those times.

Sport, we've missed you. Fresh off his Guineas winner, Popey's previewing next week's Royal Ascot festival. The Premier League's back and so is Ronnie O'Sullivan. We gab his moustache-sporting return to snooker and revisit the time he played a frame in Huyton, Liverpool, using an umbrella instead of a cue. Athletic fallout from the protests continue. We're talking Colin Kaepernick's NFL comeback, Trump's tumbling ratings, Drew Brees' 'apology' and John Barnes' unfortunate x-rated iCloud exposure. Combat-chat comes in the form of Joshua-Fury and UFC's Fight Island, as well as Dana White's crazy charity matchup with our beloved Dan Le Batard. Tip of The Week strangely features Idris Elba. Plus, should The Sopranos have been focused on Ralphie instead of Tony, and been called The Cifarettos? Get involved in the show over @myconvoswiththepope on Instagram.

Greg Tansey discusses the highs and lows of his fascinating career in this episode. From growing up in the Huyton area of Liverpool as an Everton fan idolising Steven Gerrard, and looking up to his Grandad and Uncle who were both professional footballers. He chats his early footballing days at Stockport County where he made his name, trials with Liverpool and meeting his hero, before a life-changing move up north to Inverness. Greg talks about League Cup Final defeat, working under Terry Butcher and John Hughes, throwing up during the famous 3-2 Semi Final win over Celtic, and of course his memories of the day Inverness lifted the Scottish Cup. The midfielder opens up on his move to Aberdeen, and the injuries that ultimately brought an end to his career, looking at the mental health side of things and reflecting on the pain and heartache he felt as football was taken away from him. A must listen to hear both the total euphoria and ecstasy that footballers go through, but also the pain and emotion they face too, which we don't often see behind the scenes.

Hundreds of aspiring footballers pass through Everton's academy system every year - and only a tiny fraction will ever make the first-team at Goodison Park.One man who knows this better than most is Lee Molyneux.Molyneux joined Everton's centre of excellence in 2000 and progressed through the ranks at academy and reserve level before eventually training with David Moyes' first-team squad.An unfortunately-timed injury in the summer of 2007 - coupled with the arrival of Leighton Baines - reduced the Huyton-born left-back's chances under Moyes and he eventually joined Southampton in search of first-team football.Since then, Lee's career has taken in the likes of Accrington Stanley, Tranmere Rovers and Morecambe as well as an 18-month stint out of the game after falling into trouble during a testing period of his career.Lee explains all to Sam Carroll in a special edition of your Royal Blue podcast.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

The special guest on our latest podcast is Rotherham United footballer Jon Taylor.Like so many people from Merseyside, Jon comes from a family featuring both Liverpool and Everton fans.But unlike his brother and cousin, the Huyton lad chose the Reds – and that’s why he will be particularly fired up for Rotherham’s EFL Cup tie at Everton this week.After a trip down Memory Lane with co-host Paul Philbin, the podcast starts and ends with Jon talking about the Goodison Park encounter and, of course, he also shares his thoughts on the current Liverpool side led by Jurgen Klopp that top the early Premier League table.But what is most fascinating is the insight Jon gives into life as a professional footballer.He talks the experience of relegation and promotion, playing at Wembley in one of the biggest matches in domestic football, being a club record signing, and the heartbreak of being let go by his first professional club at 16 for being too small.The former Shrewsbury Town and Peterborough United winger also reveals what it is like when the manager signs you leaves – and what it is like to be the subject of transfer speculation and bids, including the time he was effectively sold without him and his agent knowing.He also speaks about one his best friends in football who is thriving at Rangers under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.It’s a really interesting listen.
