On & Off The Field Struggles, Jim Bentley Impressions & The RETURN Of The Footman! | Sam Lavelle

This week Jordan & Gaz are joined by former Blackburn, Bolton, Morecambe, Charlton, Burton & Carlisle defender...SAM LAVELLE! Sam sits down with the boys to discuss all things football from coming through the ranks at Blackburn Rovers to currently life as a free agent. The lads start the pod by talking about life as a free agent and what that looks like for footballers, including PFA Pre-Season, interest from clubs and ambition to play as high as possible. Sam then talks about his difficult few seasons at Carlisle as the club suffered back to back relegations from League One to the National League and why the club is far too good to be that low down the pyramid. Gaz then asks Sam which 3 people from football would he invite over for dinner & drinks which then leads to Sam's incredible impression of former Morecambe manager Jim Bentley. They then chat openly about Sam's time at Blackburn & Bolton and the casino gambling culture that was rife at the time and how both Gaz & Sam overcame their struggles. The trio then discuss the return of the infamous football footman, hilarious stories about him and how Sam ended up meeting him in person! Sam then chats about his big move to Charlton, that cup run where they played Brighton and Manchester United followed by a horror loan move to Burton. Finally they end the pod discussing the best players that Sam has played with and what the future holds next for the EFL defender. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
