Summary

Matt Lewis and Jermaine Beckford are joined by one of Becks’ former teammates Mike Grella, a man who filled Thierry Henry’s shoes at the New York Red Bulls and was name-checked by Jesse Marsch when the new boss was unveiled at Elland Road. Mike shares some fascinating insights into the way Jesse works having played under him for several years, and reflects on promotion from League One, adapting to life in Leeds, the growth of football in the US and why he thinks Leeds have the perfect boss in place.
