South Sefton FC manager, Andrew Brito-coll, comments on the decision to resume the current grassroots football season.

Grassroots Football Return to Action

‘Thinking Ahead’ provides an insight into how two players coped with their release from academy/pro football at a young age and discusses whether they were encouraged to consider alternative careers outside of football before their release. Alongside hearing from the former Head of Recruitment at Everton Football Club, the two players, Niall Watson and Ben Tollitt, provide an honest insight into their own unique experiences. They speak about joining the respective clubs, why it never really worked out and what they are doing nowadays. 

Former Head of Recruitment at Everton FC, Martin Waldron, speaks about the support that was in place for young players at The Toffee’s and touches on his own personal struggles when his 25 year spell at Everton came to an end.  

I believe this is a rather interesting topic because the majority of people only see the positive side of football academies. I wanted to give the players a platform for them to open up about their experiences and almost release their frustration. The true reveal of emotion results in a really interesting listen.
