Join TFF for the second half of their fascinating 2-hour podcast with Matt Lockwood. This part dives deeper into Matt’s story, looking at how he took advantage of opportunities that came his way, such as moving with Ian Holloway when Ian began his managerial career, and missing out on a move to the Premier League because of his club demanding too much money for him. We also discuss the difficulty of managing young players in the modern day and what it takes to be a top-class manager when it comes to people management skills. There was no better way to finish such a gripping episode than with the second half of our best No Name Football Game to date!
