Growing up we all had a hero, to me that's John Joyce, he's my dad. 

He introduced me to football when I was younger, he took me to games & played football with me in garden when no one else would. Along with my mum he bought me my first football boots, my first strip and gave me a never ending love & passion for the game. Now that was something you couldn't buy!

He helped me perfect my craft on & off the field, he also set the wheels in motion for 6, 8 or 10. 

So you will be wondering why it took so bloody long to record this episode & if your truly know him you will know the answer. He is a man of few words, I mean he will talk but doesn't tend to like doing so for long periods of time.

So in a way I'm lucky that I get to share this episode with you. We cover his career to date - both playing & coaching. How it all began, again playing & coaching. Who he grew up supporting, following them across Europe. We touch on his heroes - which range from the likes of Davie Cooper, Willie Henderson, Jimmy Johnstone & of course his idol John Greig. 

He has a real passion & knowledge for the game it would have been a shame if I didn't get him on the podcast. I hope you enjoy. 

Thanks for listening!

Dad, Coach, Hero.
