From non-league mud baths to the Premier League stage!

In this episode, Luton Town goalkeeper James Shea shares the brutally honest journey that took him from Harrow Borough and Needham Market all the way to the top of English football.

Shea reflects on life as an Arsenal academy kid, getting released, rebuilding in non-league, winning promotions with Wimbledon and Luton Town, and finally making his Premier League debut. He talks consistency as a goalkeeper, dealing with mistakes, becoming a dad, and how football fits into life, family and mental health.
