Summary
Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Stiliyan Petrov from season two.
In part two, Stan explains how Martin O’Neill makes his teams perform beyond the sum of their parts. At Aston Villa, Stan had to work hard to win back the love of the fans, but eventually he became captain.
Then there’s Stan’s battle with leukaemia. His description of what he went through, and how it gave him a new perspective on life, is truly inspirational.
