Interview: Sean McKirdy - becoming pro, being 'the next big thing' and leaving football to open agym

Joel sits down with former Heart of Midlothian, Hamilton Academical, Berwick Rangers and Kelty Hearts midfielder Sean McKirdy. The pair discuss Sean's career in football, from the commitment at an early age to making his Hearts debut at 16 (or 17 in Sean's eyes). They talk about what it is like to be regarded as the next big thing, playing for your boyhood club, the transition to the first-team and getting released, as well as starring for Scotland in the Victory Shield and everything in between. Joel also asks Sean about leaving football to open his own gym aged just 22.
