Episode 13 - Jordan Brown.
“From West Ham to Wakering”
Jordan talks us through his early years, coming from good footballing stock and going in to West Ham after only one year of grassroots football.
We discuss his rise through the ranks at Upton Park, his loan at Aldershot and ultimately his exit to Crewe Alexandra.
An interesting couple of years under Edgar Davids at Barnet followed and then following relegation to the National League he left to start a new journey.
That journey was non league and Jord had a varied and interesting time with clubs near and far up and down the pyramid.
Currently injured we hope to see Jordan back in the game as soon as possible.
I hope you enjoy the episode and if in doubt “Turn it round the corner”.

Episode 12 - Jason Maher “Open to Work”
Part Two
In our previous episode Jase took us up to his first job in non league with Long Melford and how in his third season at the helm, he took them to the county cup final at Portman Road.
Part two documents moving on from that role, firstly to Diss Town where he incredibly commuted from London, his first stay at Walden before joining Rob Smalls hugely successful Bowers side that got to a FA Vase semi final and won the league.
We then talk about his long tenure at Saffron Walden with a break to have his first taste at step 4 with Coggeshall Town and nearly pulling off the great escape.
We hope to see Jason back in the game as soon as possible.
I hope you enjoy the episode and if in doubt “Turn it round the corner”.

Episode 12 - Jason Maher “Open to Work”
Part One.
I talk to Jason about his life as a non league manger who currently finds himself out of work.
We discuss how since his last role he has taken up a position scouting in Norwich FCs academy as well as in the non league pyramid for various clubs and managers.
We look at how his current break from the game has allowed him to reflect and think about his approach and learnings for when he goes back in with a slightly different approach and mindset.
We talk about his love for Chelmsford City, how he left the army because of his passion for football and how a bad leg break playing the game got him involved in the management side in his twenties.
Part one takes him up to his first job in non league with Long Melford and how in his third season at the helm, he took them to the county cup final at Portman Road.
It’s clear from this conversation that Jase lives and breaths the game and when the time arises would give his all for a football club.
I hope you enjoy the episode and if in doubt “Turn it round the corner”.
