Summary
Here’s another chance to hear my interview with John Collins from season two.
John’s career was shaped by his move from Celtic to Monaco in 1996, where he played alongside a couple of promising youngsters named Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet. John tells us how the two French internationalists carried the hamper at every away game in the season prior to winning the World Cup. Also in part one, brilliant insights into the development of young footballers.
