Matt Cooper A.K.A. Gordon Ramsay

Scott’s off sick this week, so Andrew’s been left unsupervised behind the mic… never ideal. This week: Matthew Cooper, a keeper out of Te Atatū, defender when needed, now nutritionist at Auckland FC OFC team. From grassroots football and Dunedin City Royals to feeding the pros at the biggest club in the country, we get into concussions, career pivots, elite nutrition, and life balancing football with a career. Sorry Gordon Ramsay… there’s a new cook in the kitchen. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Brayden Harrison A.K.A David Beckham

50 episodes deep… and somehow David Beckham still hasn’t replied. So we’ve done it the Booked and Abandoned way, no Galácticos, just proper West Auckland football. This week: Brayden Harrison. Reporter, producer, and footballer grinding it out at Oratia United. From the newsroom to the pitch, he’s living all sides of the game writing it, producing it, then playing in it. No shortcuts. Just graft. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Adam Bryce A.K.A. Mark Bosnich Part 2

Mark Bosnich still hasn’t replied… so we’re sticking with a better story. This week: Adam Bryce - and this is Part Two. The boots are still on, but the focus shifts to the sidelines. Coaching, lessons learned the hard way, and what the game looks like when you’re the one leading it. From academy dreams to shaping the next lot coming through, this one’s about perspective, patience, and passing it on. Less about the rise… more about what comes after. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Adam Bryce A.K.A. Mark Bosnich Part 1

Mark Bosnich still hasn’t replied… so we’ve done what we do best and found a better story. This week: Adam Bryce - South Auckland talent who got the call-up early and landed at Middlesbrough F.C.’s academy. Big move, big dreams… and a reality check that football doesn’t always follow the script. Part One dives into the early days - the rise, the move, and the injury. It’s about talent, setbacks, and the beginning of a story that didn’t go to plan… but definitely isn’t over. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
