Listen "Episode 5 - Greg Tansey"
Episode Synopsis
Greg Tansey discusses the highs and lows of his fascinating career in this episode. From growing up in the Huyton area of Liverpool as an Everton fan idolising Steven Gerrard, and looking up to his Grandad and Uncle who were both professional footballers. He chats his early footballing days at Stockport County where he made his name, trials with Liverpool and meeting his hero, before a life-changing move up north to Inverness. Greg talks about League Cup Final defeat, working under Terry Butcher and John Hughes, throwing up during the famous 3-2 Semi Final win over Celtic, and of course his memories of the day Inverness lifted the Scottish Cup. The midfielder opens up on his move to Aberdeen, and the injuries that ultimately brought an end to his career, looking at the mental health side of things and reflecting on the pain and heartache he felt as football was taken away from him. A must listen to hear both the total euphoria and ecstasy that footballers go through, but also the pain and emotion they face too, which we don't often see behind the scenes.
