Summary

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Rochdale, Burton, Scunthorpe & Salford midfielder Matty Lund. Matty sits down with Gaz & Jord to discuss everything from his time as an academy player at Stoke to the importance of early loan moves and playing games. The lads start the pod talking in depth about Matty's time at Salford City, working with the class of 92 and the disappointing end to his time. Matty then talks us through his early loan moves in football including Hereford were the manager was also the physio, playing under Paul Dickov at Oldham & crazy Bilel Mohsni. The trio then chat in about Matty's time at Rochdale, the incredible strength of the squad & why he had to leave to chase his Northern Ireland dream. Matty then talks about how his struggles at Burton and why a poor relationship with manager Nigel Clough didn't help his situation before handing in a transfer request to move to Scunthorpe. Finally they end the pod talking about making the wrong moves in football, the best player Matty has ever shared a pitch with and what he's up to since retiring.

Where else you're in the league now then? Fifth we are. I just found out our guest was going to come at start the season but our chairman's aired him. Well, yeah. Wait till I see Bill. I think there's a bit of truth in that. He also thought that he'd be servicing you. Playing up front with you and he's like, I can't play balls up to that guy and get it back. Yeah, that's fair enough. What have you been up to? Stressed this morning, you? Just, yeah, just, well, you know why I'm stressed.
