Summary
West Ham fan favourite, Tomáš Souček, discusses why he’ll be ‘forever blowing bubbles’ and the connection he shares with Hammers supporters. He also chats to Joe about growing up in a sporty family in the Czech Republic and what it was like facing Lionel Messi.
Meanwhile, Jules sits down with Wrexham manager, Phil Parkinson, to lift the lid on life in North Wales behind the glitz and glamour of the club’s Hollywood owners. Like Soucek, Parkinson opens up about why the club is so special to him and Wrexham’s ambitions for promotion out of League One.
