Summary

The special guest on our latest podcast is Rotherham United footballer Jon Taylor.Like so many people from Merseyside, Jon comes from a family featuring both Liverpool and Everton fans.But unlike his brother and cousin, the Huyton lad chose the Reds – and that’s why he will be particularly fired up for Rotherham’s EFL Cup tie at Everton this week.After a trip down Memory Lane with co-host Paul Philbin, the podcast starts and ends with Jon talking about the Goodison Park encounter and, of course, he also shares his thoughts on the current Liverpool side led by Jurgen Klopp that top the early Premier League table.But what is most fascinating is the insight Jon gives into life as a professional footballer.He talks the experience of relegation and promotion, playing at Wembley in one of the biggest matches in domestic football, being a club record signing, and the heartbreak of being let go by his first professional club at 16 for being too small.The former Shrewsbury Town and Peterborough United winger also reveals what it is like when the manager signs you leaves – and what it is like to be the subject of transfer speculation and bids, including the time he was effectively sold without him and his agent knowing.He also speaks about one his best friends in football who is thriving at Rangers under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.It’s a really interesting listen.
