Summary
In the second installment of Men in Blazers This Week in Wrexham, Powered by SToK Cold Brew Coffee, Rog is joined by Wrexham captain and all-around fantastic human being Ben Tozer. Ben and Rog deep dive into Ben's storied career, beginning as a teenage signing for Sam Allardyce's Newcastle side, all the way to his whirlwind ride with Wrexham up the English football pyramid. Ben also gives us the origin story of his famous long throw ins, and how Pep Guardiola once schemed to stop them. And finally, Ben opens up with remarkable honestly about how he's been able to overcome mental health struggles, including finding meaning in helping others following the passing of his father this summer.
