Charlie McNeill | 600 Goals, FA Youth Cup Winner & Europa League Debut | More Than a Match EP. 57

Charlie McNeill joins More Than a Match for one of the most honest football interviews you'll hear. The Sheffield Wednesday forward, once dubbed the most prolific youth goalscorer in England with over 600 goals, opens up about his incredible rise through Man United's academy, what it was really like training with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the brutal reality of life after leaving Old Trafford.From scoring 24 goals in 21 games in his debut Man United U18 season, to winning the FA Youth Cup at Old Trafford, to making his senior debut the day before his 19th birthday against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, Charlie's journey has been anything but ordinary. He also gets brutally honest about his loan spells at Newport County and Stevenage, the self-doubt that crept in, and how joining Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer in 2024 has reignited his career, including scoring a brace just 27 seconds into his debut against Hull City.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
