Sam Livesey | Fighting On The Pitch, Graham Alexander's Car Rides & Learning From Mistakes!

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Preston, Morecambe & Salford striker...Sam Livesey!

Sam sits down with Gaz & Jord as he discusses his time in football including the playing with the lads at Salford to wasting his chance to make it as a pro footballer.

The lads start the pod talking their time with Sam at Salford, playing up front with Jordan & turning up to the Salford Red Devils' rugby changing rooms.

Sam then talks us through his missed opportunity at Bury, telling Phil Neville to f**k off on the phone & dealing with his anger issues both on and off the pitch at Preston & Morecambe.

The trio then chat in depth about the culture at Salford in the early days, Edward Ciderhands on the coach, driving Richie Allen & Sam's loan moves.

Sam then talks about his brief time at Nelson, fighting with Colne fans and dealing with devastating injuries before talking about his relationship with Graham Alexander at Preston and why he really wanted the best for Sam as a youth player.

Finally they end the pod talking about the mischief Sam caused whilst living in digs at Preston, how as he got older he learnt from his mistakes and what advice he'd give to young prospects currently in the game.
