Back onside ep3 Gary Fraser

We caught up with Scottish Professional footballer Gary Fraser in what turned out to be a very open, honest and at times, emotional chat about his life and career. Gary is currently playing with Peterhead Football Club and during this chat, we got to speak about how he nearly moved to Bolton at 18 years old, the impact his family had on his life and also a very raw and heart felt account of an incident that still has an impact on Gary.
