In the final episode of series 1 we take a walk in the shoes of a professional footballer. We learn from Darren all about what his daily routines were like early on in his career, compared with the latter stages.
The timing of Darren's career was perfectly poised to experience the step change in daily life for professional footballers. Hear how he went from fry-ups to fruit smoothies; and a high sugar diet to high intensity interval training.
Expect the usual laughs and lego chat along the way, as well as Hugo's quiz and some comical off-the-cuff anecdotes!
