VUSA Pod #74: Allen talks with Thomas from Villarreal's media department

Allen catches up with longtime friend Thomas McIlroy--Thomas first came to Vila-real to teach English in 2011-12 and, after returning to his native UK for awhile, joined Villarreal CF's English-language communication department in 2018. He was at the Europa League Final, but not in the stands--working in the pressbox! Which didn't stop him from being as emotional about the moment as the rest of us. It's a really exciting time for him, heading up Villarreal's English-language communications department, as we face yet another English team in the Supercopa and get ready for a Champions League group stage where we could well face Manchester United or Liverpool (there's a 40% chance we are matched with one of those two in our group). Plus, the women's first team is playing in the Primera next season, the 13 year-olds won the La Liga Promises tournament...it's quite a time to be working for Villarreal. Enjoy.
