Football Journeys Podcast
A B5 Consultancy podcast telling the untold stories of the beautiful game - the pain, the graft and the rejection. Media lawyer Matt Himsworth and former Luton, Stevenage and Newport County footballer Fraser Franks meet with those who have lived extraordinary football journeys. Not necessarily the top stars who have the accolades and the attention but those who have been through the mill, lived the struggles and come out of the other end to tell the tale. Series One focuses on the Academy journey at the Premier League champions, Liverpool FC, as we meet the class of 2013/14, a group of young men that came so close to living the Anfield dream but have had to come to terms with an alternative pathway. As well as interviewing the players and hearing their emotional stories we speak to those who knew the players and their journeys, including fans, coaches and a Liverpool legend.

S02 Ep19: Michael Doughty
•
B5 Consultancy
The entrepreneur.
This week we speak with Michael Doughty, formerly of QPR, Peterborough and Swindon Town. Michael retired from football aged just 27, not because of injury or lack of opportunity, but because of his passion to create something lasting and sustainable.
He launched Hylo Athletics, a more sustainable sports brand, and has gone from strength to strength. We talk about his early years, where his father's business success meant that he was privately educated at Harrow School alongside playing at Chelsea's and then QPR's academies and we talk about the tragic loss of his father, Nigel, when Michael was a young man.
