We’re BACK with another episode of I Had Trials Once!

Jordan & Gaz are reunited as they sit down with former Manchester City wonderkid Paul Marshall to discuss everything from playing for England to retiring in the 7th tier of English football.

The former midfielder also talks about growing up with Micah Richards & Daniel Sturridge, Manchester City's HUGE takeover, training with Carlos Tevez, Robinho & Elano as well as being tipped to be England's next superstar.

Paul also explains the struggles with almost becoming a first-team star at Manchester City before ending up in non-league football just 3 years later at the age of 22.
