Taboo on the Terraces

'The strength in giving back' with Pat McGibbon


Listen Later

Pat McGibbon was a centre half in his playing days and spent the majority of his time in England with Wigan Athletic, also representing Scunthorpe, Tranmere Rovers, and Manchester United where he began his career. Pat also turned out for Portadown and Glentoran in his native Northern Ireland and was capped 7 times for the Northern Irish national team, before moving in to management. Pat took the time to tell listeners and host Ryan about his international career, and his Wigan days including playing alongside now Belgium manager Roberto Martinez.

Away from playing football, Pat has been commended for his work in supporting the mental health of young people in Northern Ireland through his club and ultimate passion Train 2 B Smart. TTBS aim to promote positive mental health and well-being through sport, and Pat recounts his own life story and the motivations behind setting up TTBS.
