The Drop In: Ben Mee

Stak
About this episode

Kate heads to Brentford to talk to one of the Premier League’s most eloquent characters. 


Ben Mee has a fascinating story: from starting out at Man City in the midst of the takeover in 2008, to becoming a lynchpin of Sean Dyche’s Burnley, and a spokesperson for parents dealing with miscarriages and childbirth after the premature birth of his and his wife’s daughter.


He puts us in the shoes of being a Premier League footballer, discusses what went wrong at Burnley, what makes a good leader on the pitch, and - of course - why Sean Dyche ate a worm one time.
