Matthew Briggs '' FORCED To Retire , Making Premier League Debut at 16 Yrs Old | PODGHOST | EP.51

#episode51 

Welcome back to The Podghost Podcast, folks! We're thrilled to bring you episode 51, featuring an extraordinary guest who holds the title of being the 3rd youngest-ever Premier League player in history. It's an accomplishment that any young prodigy would be proud of, but as we'll soon discover, it doesn't guarantee a smooth sailing career.

At the tender age of 16, Briggs was thrust into Lawrie Sanchez's first team during an away match against Middlesbrough in May 2007. This opportunity ensured he secured a deal at Craven Cottage. Initially, his career showed immense promise, but unfortunately, fate had other plans. Briggs experienced a complete turnaround, leaving him feeling lost and seeking solace in alcohol to numb the pain he endured.

The impact of these events took a toll on his mental well-being. In this episode, Matthew joins our hosts Yazz and Seff for an open and honest conversation about his journey in the world of football. We hope you find this podcast enlightening and captivating. Be sure to tune in next week for another incredible story. Stay tuned!
