Anthony sits down to talk all things football from growing up at Barnsley to turmoil times as Bury FC entered administration. The lads start the pod discussing Jordan's Christmas drip to Belfast with the Radcliffe squad, what it's like still playing vets football and Anthony loving life as a coach at Southport. Anthony then talks the lads through his early life in football playing for Barnsley, the feeling of making his first team debut and having to do brutal dressing room initiations. The trio then chat in depth about the drinking culture at Barnsley in the early days, why Anthony had big issues with manager Simon Davey & why the chairman tried to sabotage his career. They then chat about Anthony's time at Huddersfield, the strength of their squad in League One and the experience of that promotion win. The lads then discuss life after Huddersfield at MK Dons and Bury before the latter would enter administration and the struggles that come with it with players not being paid.
