Description
Episode 44: Breaking Even (ft Keith Gillespie)Former Manchester United and Newcastle winger Keith Gillespie joins Episode 44 of The Michael Anthony Show to discuss his incredible life in the beautiful game. As part of the iconic ‘Class of 92’, the Northern Irish legend was tipped for greatness and having left the guidance of Ferguson to pursue his dreams on Keegan’s Tyneside, this young ‘entertainer’ showed that he was more than just hype.With Gillespie however, lived a destructive steak. With adulation and fame came isolation and for every trip to theatres like the Nou Camp, there was thousands to his local bookmakers. Falling victim to temptation and manipulation made Gillespie a media target, and he soon became as known for brawling in nightclubs as he did for tormenting full backs.Bankruptcy, prison and a stint in the Irish League accompanied Gillespie on his fall from grace. Often a man to be spoken of, Gillespie offers an honest reflection of his personal journey. With eighty six International caps and over 250 Premier League appearances, the horses mouth was fascinating.Listen Now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.Links on page @themichaelanthonyshow.Support the show
