About this episode

Join Steve Harmison and Leon McKenzie as they sit down with former Arsenal, Liverpool, and Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant, for an unfiltered, deeply honest conversation about the turbulent realities behind his high-profile career and his ongoing journey of self-discovery after hanging up his boots.


From gracing the pitch in the 2007 Champions League final to battling depression in silence, Jermaine reflects on how trauma, extreme success, and undiagnosed neurodivergence shaped his life both on and off the field.
