I don’t know Jack at all, but he certainly has a story to tell. He was a good guest as well.

His story about being scouted by England u23 was a good one though

It was funny, for sure. Almost as funny as when you announce him as an ex-pro.

If he was paid to play then he was. He told me he played professionally in Belgium & Finland and I have no reason to doubt him.

Is this Gilso?

Got me!
Tbh haven't a clue who or what it is as I actually don't watch TV.

Disappointed that he didnt explain how he ended up coaching a Ryman league side at age 16. Now he's done a book. Certainly seems hungry for success.

Didn’t listen to the show. Did he explain how he nearly wrecked this MB with his egotistical, self- indulgence?

Nope was not discussed.

His old man was manager at Clacton or somewhere wasn’t he? Gave him a job but don’t think it went down very well with the players, understandably.

He’s a lovely lad and pretty fit these days too but loves a tall tale.

Ah nepotism, that's why he doesn't mention it.
