The Grassroots Football Coach
Mark meets... Graham Westley
In this week’s episode, we look back to late last year when Rivo caught up with former Preston, and then Stevenage manager, Graham Westley.
On the pod, Graham talks about the start of this playing career with QPR, representing England at U18 level and the impact of working under managers such as George Graham and Barry Fry. Graham also discusses the importance of fitness and his preferred style of play. There's also a nod to Graham’s enjoyable time with Aylesbury United in the early 90’s.
