It's Craig Bellamy!
Former Wales internationals Iwan Roberts and Dave Edwards saw at first hand the relentless will to win and unwavering professionalism Craig Bellamy demonstrated as a player for club and country. It is those exact attributes, in their opinion, that make him a perfect appointment as Wales manager. More importantly, they believe his journey as a coach offers proof of an astute tactician. We also hear from the man himself as he talks to the media for the first time since becoming Rob Page's successor.

Episode 303: Luke Williams
Aged 20, Luke Williams suffered a catastrophic knee injury that crushed all hope of playing professionally. While living rent free in a plush Canary Wharf flat with Bobby Zamora, Williams "grafted away" in whatever job came his way as his friend forged a career in the Premier League.
He stumbled into coaching and has never looked back; earning a reputation as a progressive coach with a variety of clubs before being appointed manager of Notts County in 2022. In his first season, promotion was secured to League Two through the play-offs after an enthralling and record-breaking title race against Wrexham.
His move to Swansea in 2024 seemed a natural fit having previously coached at the club under former manager Russell Martin, and his possession-based philosophy aligned with the "Swansea way".
Simon Davies sits in for Elis James.
Customer Reviews
Where’s Ellis ?
Love the pod , but miss Ellis ?
Absolutely gone off a cliff.
Used to be one of my favourite podcasts, absolutely gone off a cliff in the last 12 months. Don’t mind the Jonny Owen episodes but without Elis it’s just not the same. Seem to have abandoned the format in favour of bringing on guests who are of little to no interest. Disappointing.
Great podcast
It’s a great podcast to listen to I do every week. One suggestion which I think would be great is if you introduced two podcasts a week with one involving an interview of ex footballers, coaches, fan groups etc. always like it when you have a guest on the show.
