Description
Last summer, the Sheffield Eagles had arguably the biggest moment in their history when they came from behind to beat Widnes at Wembley to win the first-ever 1895 Cup.
It was a huge moment for the rugby league side - and watching it all unfold was Eagles' general manager Liam Claffey. He's a man that lives and breathes the Eagles - and, as a gay man, he's certainly been in demand as the sport reacts to the signing of Izzy Folau by the Catalan Dragons.
We reckon this is a cracking listen and a proper insight into what it's like to be a GM - doing everything from administration to marketing to designing the kit - and how you match professionalism with the passion you have as a fan.
