Our next guest on the Official AFC Bournemouth Podcast is a man who has been a standout performer this season and one of the first names on the team sheet every week. 

Chris Mepham arrived at the Cherries back in January 2019 and has been on a rollercoaster ride at Vitality Stadium. He spoke superbly to Neil Perrett and Zoe Rundle about overcoming injuries, that play-off defeat to Brentford and how a career as a gardener might have come to fruition if it wasn't for football. 

As Wales get set to play their first World Cup fixture for 64 years, the defender also discussed the special journey he's been on with his country to get to this stage.
