Episode notes

First guest of the 2023/24 season - Willie Garrett


Willie joined Glentoran at 10 years old, climbing his way through the youth teams and making it into the first team, the first player ever to do so. After cementing his place as first choice centre half, Willie faced a series of bad knee injuries which prematurely brought an end to his football career.


He fulfilled a dream by playing for Glentoran, the highlight of which was winning the 2015 Irish Cup at the Oval.
