Description
This week, Mo Gilligan sits down with one of England’s most naturally gifted footballers: Joe Cole. From breaking through at West Ham as a teenage prodigy, to winning Premier League titles with Chelsea, to representing England at three World Cups, Joe has lived the full spectrum of the beautiful game.
In this episode, Joe opens up about:
⚽ Growing up in Paddington & Camden and learning football in London cages
⚽ Why he didn’t play academy football until age 11
⚽ The madness of Sunday League vs. stepping onto world-class pitches
⚽ The pressure of debuting in the Premier League as a teenager
⚽ Playing alongside legends like Lampard, Carrick, Rio & Wrighty
⚽ Being a flare player in an era where you got kicked for it
⚽ His new book Luxury Player and what he learned looking back on his career
Joe also reflects on how the game has changed—from grassroots culture to VAR—and what today’s young stars face on and off the pitch.
It’s honest, insightful, funny, and full of unbelievable stories.
Tap in and enjoy the conversation with the legendary Joe Cole.
