I Had Trials Once...

Neal Trotman | The Mental Side Of Football, Dealing With Injuries & Retiring From Football At 28!


Listen Later

This week Gaz & Jordan are joined by former Oldham, Preston, Rochdale, Chesterfield, Plymouth & Bristol Rovers defender...NEAL TROTMAN!

Neal sits down with the boys to discuss all things football from starting out at Burnley before having to retire early due to constant injury issues.

The lads start the pod talking about Neals early retirement from football and how he's since used that knock back to now help others with his psychotherapy and counselling business.

Neal then talks about the mental side of football, dealing with set backs like getting released, picking up injuries and struggling to come to terms with retirement.

Neal chats about his time in football as a player at Oldham & Halifax where Chris Wilder gave team talks using tactics from Football Manager before an impressive spell saw him get a big move to Preston North End.

He then openly reveals he suffered a stroke during training at Preston North End which kept him out of action for a year before making a full recovery and going on to have successful spells at both Southampton & Huddersfield.

Finally they discuss Neal's return to Oldham, playing with a young James Tarkowski & who his toughest opponents were.
