Listen in to this episode to hear from Alex Gilbey about life as pro footballer right now. We discuss about how the game has changed in recent years and how for him getting a manager reject him actually really became a motivator.

Really grateful to Alex for his time in these difficult times, and I think we all look forward to things returning to some sensible normality as soon as it is safe to do so.
