Episode 44: Breaking Even (ft Keith Gillespie)Former Manchester United and Newcastle winger Keith Gillespie joins Episode 44 of The Michael Anthony Show to discuss his incredible life in the beautiful game. As part of the iconic ‘Class of 92’, the Northern Irish legend was tipped for greatness and having left the guidance of Ferguson to pursue his dreams on Keegan’s Tyneside, this young ‘entertainer’ showed that he was more than just hype.With Gillespie however, lived a destructive steak. With adulation and fame came isolation and for every trip to theatres like the Nou Camp, there was thousands to his local bookmakers. Falling victim to temptation and manipulation made Gillespie a media target, and he soon became as known for brawling in nightclubs as he did for tormenting full backs.Bankruptcy, prison and a stint in the Irish League accompanied Gillespie on his fall from grace. Often a man to be spoken of, Gillespie offers an honest reflection of his personal journey. With eighty six International caps and over 250 Premier League appearances, the horses mouth was fascinating.Listen Now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.Links on page @themichaelanthonyshow.

With over 160 Premier League appearances to his name by the age of twenty three, Fabrice Muamba's career was destined for greatness. Learning his trade alongside Wenger's legendary invincible side of the early noughties, the robust midfielder was quickly becoming one of English footballs next great midfield hopes, proven by his astounding thirty three u21 caps. In March 2012 however, it all ended. Muamba suffered cardiac arrest at White Hart Lane and with his heart stopping for 78 minutes, was considered by the masses to be as good as gone. Miraculously, Muamba made a full recovery, but he would never step foot on the pitch again. In Episode 41 of The Michael Anthony Show, the former Bolton man opens up about his rise to the top and his struggles with his helpless fall to premature retirement. Muamba's life proves just as fascinating outside of the game. Arriving in London in 1999 without a word of English, the Zaire born eleven year old dreamed of nothing but survival having escaped the atrocities of a war torn Congo. Now aged 31, the father, coach and University has achieved that and more. Racism in football is also discussed.Follow and Listen to episode 41 of @themichaelanthonyshow on iTunes, Spotify and Soundcloud. Links in bio.

Episode 37 see's legendary boxing promoter Kellie Maloney join The Michael Anthony Show. Having left school at fifteen due to struggles with the at the time misunderstood dyslexia, Kellie was considered destined for failure by the society that surrounded the confused and isolated young boy. Raised by an Irish Catholic family in the working class Peckham, London, the priesthood seemed like Kellie's only chance, until she entered a boxing gym.Beginning to train and then eventually coach, Kellie discovered her vocation in the form of managing and promoting. Through resilience, grit and the aid of charisma, the Milwall diehard secured the services of boxing's "golden goose" in the form of Olympic gold medalist Lennox Lewis. From that moment on, the duo would change world boxing, becoming the sports most formidable partnership, selling out arenas world wide and registering wins against fighters such as Frank Bruno, Shannon Briggs and Evander Holyfield along the way. Lennox was tearing apart the heavyweight division, and Frankie Maloney was pulling the strings.Having achieved a life that would seem an impossibility to most and winning the unwinnable battle, Kellie's real fight was nowhere near over. Frank Maloney was a success story, but for Kellie, also a mythical one. In this open and fascinating interview, Kellie tells us how no money, wealth or adulation came close to the feeling of finally accepting who she was and "correcting the mistake made at birth" that was her male gender. Kellie also touches on a variety of other subjects including coping with the tragic loss of former client and friend Darren Sutherland. The subject of transgender is one that both polarizes and dominates modern society. To hear from somebody that has lived through it whilst operating in such a masculine and somewhat stubborn environment makes for an intriguing listen.Available now on iTunes, Spotify and SoundCloud.Links to all three in bio.
