In an ATP Exclusive, Ian Mills & Phil Roberts sit down with former Everton striker Michael Branch, making his podcast debut in an Everton FC Special. We talk breaking through the youth team with record numbers and into Joe Royle's plans in 1996, before discussing Joe leaving, and how he found playing under his then captain/manager, Dave Watson. Howard Kendall's return and a disastrous injury plagued season in 1997 1998 is discussed, as Michael reveals how the injuries and subsequent lack of goals affected him mentally at that time, and how he got to a point of feeling exhausted and relieved that every game had ended. Nights out and memories with hilarious tales have the hosts in stitches, before we discuss how his Everton career ended, and his joy at being back at his boyhood club now, working for EITC. Michael's podcast debut, talking the timeline of his Everton career is a must listen for all Evertonians!
