I Had Trials Once is back again for another episode...

This week Jordan & Gaz are joined by former Crewe, Exeter, Tranmere, Leyton Orient and current Barrow defender...George Ray.

The boys talk everything from unique football side hustles to representing Wales at under 21 level.

They then discuss the early days coming through at Crewe Alexandre with the likes of Perry Ng before becoming one of the only players to make their professional debut at Wembley!

George then openly discusses the emotional rollercoaster of being a professional footballer and how he dealt with various different managers before almost quitting the game entirely at the age of 26.

Finally George talks about how he created the famous Roy Cropper parody account on twitter whilst also playing against a young Harry Kane whilst playing for Wales U21s.
