Hello and welcome to the Tefo Football Podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm joined today by a very

interesting guest Ollie Marland. Ollie who is now a professional musician in an outfit called

Lost and Found who have just released a cracking new single, Inter You, was also previously a footballer who played for Port Vale.

Up until the age of about 19.

Ollie made an unusual transition from footballer to musician.

So today we talk about that.

We talk about how hard it is to be a footballer,

what the earning potential is of somebody who's playing in in league two

how how he made the decision to to move out of football into something else because

that's obviously a very hard thing to do and also the the rest of his musical career including

supporting acts around festivals Ollie appeared on X Factor as well and has since

sort of rediscovered its musical interest after a period of working

on a construction site.

So it's been an interesting career so far and it was great to be able to talk to Ollie.

I appreciate him coming on to do this.

Because we also get a bit of an insight into the music industry too, and how horrible it can be, I think,

at times. My words, obviously. But yeah, I found that particularly interesting so thanks to

Ollie. Incidentally if you think the music industry is horrible but you like

reading about football does that work? Yeah I guess. You should subscribe to the athletic and I can tell you that this December, if you're thinking

of gifting, doing a gift of some kind, but also you want to get some value out of the gift, i.e. whenever I buy a gift for

someone, my partner for example, I will buy her something I can also enjoy, like concert

tickets or, you know know a subscription to a streaming service
