Hello and welcome to the price of football the show that was at money you hide the beautiful game of me Kevin Day and Liverpool University's

Kiran McGuire. How are you Kiran?

I'm top of the morning.

That's good that's how you were just five seconds ago and I left you at the end of the last part.

We can't keep this seat going on forever can we? We have an interview for you today everybody.

It's, I say this about all our interviews and I don't

think we've disappointed you yet with any of them this is a an interview we were

lucky enough to get with the CEO of the English Football League Trevor Birch who has a relationship

with Kiir and so he kind of knew he'd be a safe hands.

It's a longer one. It could have been twice as long to be perfectly honest. But this is what Trevor had to say. Trevor,

thank you so much for joining us this morning.

We know how busy you are, but it's brilliant to have another chat and catch up with

you in what's been quite a dramatic few months for English football.

We've got many questions for you from us as well as listeners and as you can imagine

some are quite serious.

So we thought we'd ease ourselves in by first of all

talking about your own football career and how you became or that journey that

took you to become CEO of the EFL because you were quite a useful player

wouldn't you? In a useful team.

Yeah I don't know about that Kevin but this month is a significant anniversary for me.

It's 50 years ago that I joined Liverpool FC as an apprentice

professional. Wow. Only seven of us joined that year and two of us subsequently
