Phil and Terry are joined by former Liverpool player, current BBC football analyst and local lad Stephen Warnock to discuss the highs and lows of his career, from start to finish. From breaking into the first team, to scoring in front of the kop and his eventual move away from the reds. It’s no secret that Stephen didn’t see eye to eye with managerial legend Rafa Benitez and Stephen isn’t afraid to give his side of the story and explain why that relationship broke down. Stephen was at the club during a time when Liverpool won the Champions League (although he has a horrendous tale to tell about his experience of that game) and is able to give some amazing behind the scenes insight as to what it was like to be at Liverpool during those years. We also touch on Stephen’s time after Liverpool, where he went on to play probably his best football at Blackburn Rovers before moving to a good Aston Villa side. Stephen progressed to be selected for the 2010 World Cup squad and is able to share what it’s like for the squad to be under that kind of pressure to succeed internationally. Warnock finished his career playing for a number of other clubs, most notably Leeds United and Wigan Athletic. A very interesting story and lots of insight into what has been an impressive footballing career.
