This week, we hand the mic to Callum Donaghy — or as he jokingly calls himself, “The Leggy Blonde.” From his early days in hockey to life in the Pirates dressing room, Callum brings a mix of honesty, humour, and sharp insight into what it takes to compete at this level.

We dive into his journey on the ice, the lessons he’s picked up along the way, and his unique perspective as both a player and a personality. With plenty of laughs and some candid reflections, this one’s as entertaining as it is inspiring.

Whether you’re here for the stories, the hockey chat, or just to find out why he’s The Leggy Blonde, this episode won’t disappoint.

In this week’s episode of the Paisley Pirates Podcast, we’re joined by seasoned defenceman Martyn Guy for a reflective, grounded, and at times hilarious chat about life in the game.

With over 100 appearances for the Pirates, Martyn opens up about his early influences, his leadership style, and what it means to be a veteran presence on the team. From growing up in the sport and learning the hard way, to now helping bring on the next generation, Martyn’s journey is full of wisdom and authenticity.

We talk about changes in the league, the need for better pathways for younger players, and what keeps the fire going year after year.

📢 “You need to find a reason to enjoy it every year—whether it’s competing, bonding, or just being on the ice.” – Martyn Guy

This is an episode full of sharp insight, dry wit, and real talk from one of the club’s most dependable figures.
