Hello and welcome to the Disruptors podcast. This episode features Kiran Richardson, former

man United and Premier League footballer. This is a part two. If you haven't listened to

the first part, go back and listen to that now. So in this part of the interview,

Kiran Richardson sits down with Rob to talk about his England, Premier League and Manchester United

football career. So let's just get straight into it, but remember if you don't risk anything,

you risk everything. Let's talk about you and Man United because it's a pretty amazing thing

to be a professional footballer and play for Man United and most people's dream. Yeah.

Yeah, it was my dream. Yeah. My dream was obviously to be a professional footballer and I was

lucky enough to fulfill that dream. Did you quit fairly young, did you? I stopped playing football

at age 33. Okay. So it's very, it's not very young because I mean, there's people now 35,

36 or if you have some last hand, 92. Yeah. Which is unbelievable. Players, players, as long as you

can go. How old are you now? I'm 37 now. And why did you quit? I quit numerous things really.

I had too much money already. Yeah. It was like, I fell out when I reached the age 30,

the hunger, the hunger. I fell out of love at a game. It wasn't there. The passion wasn't there.

Even now when I speak to pros now, who are my friends playing right now in the Premier League.

Some of them say the same thing. They can't wait to retire. Really? The passion's going,

you know, it is, the pressures are so high. Yeah. It's so much going on off the field now.

We're footballers. We just want to be in the field playing football, but it's so much politics off

the field, dissonar. It just takes away the love of the game. But I did retire early on,

but I always had my watches as my thing as well. Have you built that up on the side then?

No, I didn't officially started, but I'd always had in my back and my head,

but I want to go into that forte, the watches in industry, because I love watches.
