As football fans, we’re obsessed with what happens on the pitch. But off it, behind closed doors, in offices and boardrooms worldwide, the business of football sees drama of often equal, but usually untold heights. In this new podcast from football creator-turned-club-owner Spencer Owen (Hashtag United), we’ll meet the minds and personalities behind some of the world’s most innovative football clubs, as well as those with inspiring or hair-raising tales of football clubs run right...and sometimes, very wrong!
In Episode 5, Spen catches up with "football explorer" Paul Watson, whose career has taken him from Pohnpei, where he was the world's youngest football manager, to Mongolia, where he was touted as their version of Simon Cowell but where football business sometimes went down very shady paths indeed! Paul also talks about his involvement with CONIFA, including a very novel way of storing gate money, and his Kitmas project which hands out football shirts to children at Christmas.
