Ramsbottom Drinking Culture, Playing For Brent Peters & The Art Of Tough Tackling! | Lee Pugh

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Clitheroe, Chester, Ramsbottom, Colne & Padiham defender...LEE PUGH!

Lee sits down with Gaz & Jord as he discusses his time in football from being known for his tough tackling to playing with both Gaz & Jordan in his career.

The lads start the pod talking about Lee's early life in football from playing grass roots to joining Bury's academy where he first crossed paths with Gaz Seddon.

They then talk in depth about Pughy's decision to get first team football which included spells at Hyde before playing for podcast favourite Brent Peters at Bacup.

The trio then chat about Lee's time at Ramsbottom with Jordan and why they were a team full of weirdo's but had an incredible bond on and off the pitch before a move to Clitheroe cut his time short.

Lee then speaks about playing with Gaz at Chester, the experience of the Chester vs Wrexham Derby and why the step up came too soon in his career.

Lee continues with his time in non-league after leaving Chester he saw moves back to Rammy as well as spells at Curzon Ashton & Colne.

Finally, he talks about his decision to join Padiham and why he wants to keep playing for as long as he can.
