About Soccer A-Z
Whistleblowers is football’s most original new podcast - lifting the lid on the parts of the game no one else talks about. Hosted by Gordon Smart, with ex-elite referee Mark Clattenburg and veteran journalist Ian Ladyman, this isn’t another safe roundtable of punditry. It’s football told differently - with insight, authority, and plenty of laughs. From what really goes on in the referee’s room, to how clubs spin crises and who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes - Whistleblowers brings the inside stories only those at the heart of the game can tell. Players have had their say. Now, it’s time to hear from the people who actually know how football works. Hosts: Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman Executive Producer: Jamie East Producer: Henry Williams Researcher: William Colledge Booker: Ashley Whitt Production Manager: Vittoria Cecchini A Daily Mail Podcast. Seriously Popular. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

I totally lost my mind. Well, the answer was, it was me. What he was trying to say to us was, forget about your coaches, forget about your mom or your dad or your teammates. It's up to you. You make the difference in your life. And it's such a good message to take forward with you and to give to your own children because Kevin lived by that.
