This was an incredible episode. My father suffered from depression for a while and remember seeing him. This is one brave guy. Can see his experience in some of my gambling friends. It’s a terrible addiction and destroys lives. Well done you and well done Karl as it’s takes some bollocks to tell the story.
Thank god I've no interest in gambling mugs game
You know what, respect to this kid for opening up and being so honest, I have met him and he was a decent polite lad.
I am genuinely glad he’s getting the better of his demons.
Hope people give this episode the time it deserves. To begin with his stories were funny, but I won't lie, I kept thinking - "what a stupid reason to thrown a career in football away for"
But for him to own it and bring himself back from suck a low and talk openly about his troubles. Fair play to him.
Great episode shows you that you can turn your life round.Karl Colley gave a honest account and his weakness that happen to so many footballers and sportsmen and its great he is now helping others.
Enjoyed that lads, full of authenticity, transparency and lessons for people. Fair play to Karl to confronting his alter-ego and helping others out there! Of which there will probably be many who are struggling to open up.
Such a powerful interview. Wish him all the best, it looks like he's really turned his life around and made a positive out of a very tough situation. Huge respect.
Fantastic podcast! Karl strikes me as a case of someone who just happened to be gifted at football and made a living off it. He comes across as intelligent and articulate and I can't fathom how the Karl on this podcast is that absolute mad man who existed as a player. Incredible story. Well done for turning his life around !
Cracking episode this. Its always the ones u dont expect. I love lads like this who are relatable to the average punter. And refreshingly honest / humble.
I suffer depression and anxiety I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy it’s terrible until you have it you will never understand it heartbreaking 💔
Same..solidarity x
All the best to Karl, great to hear the amazing work he is doing. The experiences he has been through is invaluable and will do a lot of good to help others. 👏🏻
class episode, dude is remarkable for opening up and talking about his issues
Just got back from the Blackpool live show. Straight onto this week’s episode. Can’t get enough of it lads!! Brilliant show by the way.
Still have the big scar on my leg as a 10 year playing against Karl, I kept jumping out of his pocket during an under 11's school game and his frustration boiled over and caused me a really bad injury...
His and my dad ended up round the back having it out with each other! Funnily enough they ended up mates a few years later and Pete would speak fondly and proudly of Karl and how his football was going. Real shame not seeing him go and make a proper living out of the game but glad to hear and see him after many many years, all the best Karl, UTB 👍⚽
Went to secondary school with Karl... what a watch this was.. Well done for speaking about this take me hat off to ya 🙌
Superb podcast lads, have listened to everyone and this touched few different nerves from the normal. I thought Andy Johnson’s was the best as mental football stories but this hit different 👍🏼 top lad Karl Colley.
Great episode this. I love the funny ones and the crazy stories, but also good to highlight the other side, thought he came across really well and owned all his mistakes. Good luck to him going forward
quality podcast. i like karl, and wish him all the best. top man. really enjoyed this.
Probably the best one yet this and I've listened to all of em.
Played with kolley at belper town what a player and bloke 👏 pridey
Brilliant these shows lads Keep them coming!!! 💯💯
Bloody hell , what an incredible story. Fair play Karl . Good luck for the future.
This is a fantastic episode, and fair play to Karl.
48.20 ish...It was "United sign Newcastle ACE" remember reading it on a Sheffield Star sign in town.
I worked in mental health as a support worker, most rewarding job ive ever had, karl, well done, it helped massively with my mental health, hope it helps you 👍
Majority are literal abusers targeting the most vulnerable.
Really gripping episode this lads!
Bare feet on the pod is criminal
absolutely Rascal
You must be new here?
So strange
Bare feet?
@@thomaskendell8146 tbf I don’t watch most episodes cause I’ve no clue who the players are and tend to skip the intro hahaha
Spoke very well there Colley, or as my mum used to call him 'The Big Un' when he played local football
Great episode
Been a compulsive gambler and football bod
So can relate
Loves United that much he was willing to fight off the pitch .. but was willing to play for Wednesday 😂
He was 17 at the time like he said, dosen’t matter who you’re rivals are you sign the contract.
i know him personally and im happy to call him my mate, hes a top lad and can get misunderstood... im glad he did this podcast as it shows the real side to him... top fella an wish him the best
Loved this one lads, the point he made about mental health and "talking about it" is so true.
Having your Mrs get pregnant and running away to another country, I should know.
Talk about that my ass.
You can tell some people use it for their PR, Fury looking at you.
ICF were the top Firm. Not sure I’ve heard of the sheff UTD. But respect to them
The pfa should have him going round all the clubs talking to teams+ academy players.
Very well spoken and methodical guy. Great listen.
Tough listen this one lads. Really goes to show how the MH umbrella is being spread thinly when it's used to justify absolute terrible life choices - in this case throwing away the chance of a good pro career for fighting and drinking.
Drinking? Listen to the interview lad
@@prettyflowers9995 You've got to be joking if you don't think drink was involved. Club taxis every weekend and drinking J20? Good one pal!
I imagine the stories probably all got back to the club cos he couldn't stop telling people about them.
Career highlights running under 3 barriers but failing to get past the 4th were the bloke he was after was...hardman
. I had a fight with him at our presentation night for Stocksbridge park steels at Hillsborough. He got a good punch. Black eye to prove it 😂😂😂😂
hahaha I remember this well Button lad! I remember you coming out with your glasses all over your face!
@@dadperfect2333 oh yes was a good night
That cheeky little chappy Beardsley.. i never ever knew he was a bully 😲
A massive racist too.....
Great episode
Minute 1, “fresh out of prison, this is some story!” …2 hours later, no story about how he ended up in prison or what’s happened?! 🤷🏼♂️😂
great podcast this, hilarious even tho Karl seems to have been a bit troubled in his career
Irony. I worked with Karl's Dad, Pete, and he got sacked for misuse of the company petrol card! Must be hereditary.
This is epic ❤
Brilliant listen this lads cheers
Totally relate to most of what this fella said.
This fellas accent makes his stories 10x funnier 😂
What accident is dat
@saab2906 *that
South Yorkshire
@@leedschampions6704 Its DEE DAR SHEFFIELD.
@@albertrobinson4539 so south yorkshire then yeah
Top turnaround ❤
Remember Karl from school, was/is a nice bloke 👍🏻
Legend mush
What xompany does Karl work for? Could you provide a link?
Ilkeston fan here, never knew you were with us, I remember seeing that Goole video years ago and to back up your point Coalville fans are a bunch of fannies 😂
What a prk
Lads can u put link up for Steve Walsh episode 🙏
Interesting one this, I am always happy to hear about Newcastle, I went to uni in Sheffield and lived there for 20 years so it’s nice to hear a tale from both cities. I moved back to the toon cos it’s much better.
I don’t think this lad giving it the “Barry McGuigan” would have worried the likes of Kevin Ball, Mickey Harford or Big Duncan Disorderly, somehow..??? 🤷🏼🧐👍🏻
Believe me he’s the real fucking deal seen it with my own eyes. Glad he’s coming round to be happy don’t speak on what u dint know
He would have no problem rubbing it with them lads
Fair enough.. looks can sometimes be deceiving & possibly the way he comes across..
I can at least personally relate to quite a bit of what he’s saying but we’re still all allowed an opinion based on seeing those mentioned & many others like them in their prime & hearing the stories from people that were in & around them.. maybe it’s the fact I’d never heard of this lad or hardly anyone mention him.. unlike those I’ve mentioned or say the likes Billy Whitehurst for example..🤷🏼
🧐👍🏻
@@jordanfox2556bouncing around shouting “let’s have it” with 30 of ya mates doesn’t make you hard! 😂 99% of ‘hooligans’ havent got a clue how to fight!
What a great episode. He comes across as a fairly normal guy who has fought a constant battle with his demons with zero help or understanding from those around him. As Chris says at the end he would be a great example to put before academy players for what they should be looking out for and the need to seek help as soon as something is not quite right.
Comes across as a normal young man who wasted an incredible opportunity to become a pro footballer. Why is that everyone else's fault before it's his own?
@Mr___X I didn't interpret it as he was trying to blame everyone else, I think he's pretty aware of how he's effectively self destructed, I guess he was crying out for help but never sought it probably because he was too naive to realise he was the only person who could help him or at least get help. My immediate reaction was he seems a bit schizophrenic.
Think you will find those bare feet belong to the Mighty Beast who overturned a 4 - 1 deficit at Elland Road to Leeds United, Mr Parkin here got a hat trick and we went on the win 4 - 6. This man has earned the right to wear what the fuck he wants.
Where is the David Thompson interview?
Yep had his issues in life but one of the nicest kids you could ever meet
Absolutely brilliant so honest
Great guy very very honest I love men like him get more stuff like this on get joey Barton please Great video keep them coming please I like the way you put you stuff together reel honest clever top guys
Sheff utd v grimsby beat off we've had in 20 years up the mariners
He's no Billy whitehurst!!!
Not far off
What's that on his head it he looks like George from George and Mildred with an orange crash helmet on.
Get him back on and ask him about what happened at clipstone 👍😂
Im starting to guess why sheff u didnt work for him. His attitude aint been a help
One of my best pals ever was a football hooligan with PSG, he totally flipped to become one of the nicest guys ever
This guy is unreal…. 😂😂😂 getting some grief off fans ‘it’s inbred material’
Coming from the bloke who threw away a football career to be a hooligan.
He played for us at Stocksbridge PS. He was way to good for us and had so much talent sadly wasted. Nice bloke though.
top sheffield lad, top blade!!!
Where can I see the Steve Walsh episode
You have to be a Patreon member
@@Monthehoops67 ok 👍 thank you btw I'm lesta lad walshy I got loads memories xx " beppies " all ill say
I think he’s underestimated how gossipy coach drivers are.
Why is it always the players who never make it moan about bullying 😂
It’s not wrong though. There’s some serious wankers in football.
Sheffield Wednesday had the Best Football hooligan firm in Sheffield EBRA - OCS in the 1970s 80s until the mid 1990s when football hooligans was at its peak
supposedly the Blades BBC firm took over in mid 90s when it was almost over & that’s according to SUFC own Top hooligan Steve Cowards he says it in is own book & on a podcast on Utube with a Australian guy
& that’s straight from the horses mouth 🤷🏼♂️💙👍👊
Who gives a fuck
Talk some bollocks you , bart time ya was banned of radio sheff
And you can't read so give over with bollocks
@@Disorder1889praise or grumble
You are wrong, Sheff Utd had a top firm in the 80s when it mattered or at it's peak. I am Sunderland by the way and had it with them a few times. Rate them higher than Sheff Wed.
Sorry Guys, I thought he was an idiot!
Great watch, but another troubled footballer that blames everyone else for his own issues and behaviour. Several managers, clubs etc. It's a common theme with all the similar characters.
Fair play to him for telling his story and turning things around though.
Tool 🔧
Who chooses to go from footballer to hooligan? Crazy lol
Karl Colley
@@user-vi6wf4gh9x I was looking for this very reply, lol
A clown
It’s to do with being with his mates, drinking etc then comes the fighting. One road leads to another.
Dai Thomas ex Cardiff
Honest. TopBoy.
Did he claim to be a hooligan in the early 2000s, I started getting into in 1990 and it was practically over then.
By 2000 if you had a good off then it was your last one because you would be on camera and due a ban, might have thrown a punch and it got split up straight away but no such thing as hooliganism by then.
Yeah seemed that way by the 2000s but there was still room for young wannabes to cause a bit of mayhem and try to live up to the old boys. Pathetic to choose that over a pro career tbh.
There’s still hooligans now what do you mean
Back then in Sheffield, Wednesday and United boys would fight every weekend in town. Each had their own pubs on west street. It didn’t have to be a match day. It was on sight.
Found this sad. What a waste of talent. He talks a lot of his Dad but where was he when all the shenanigans were going on ?? He must have spotted the signs. ?? Wasted talent like this is the real crime.
Agreed. Shows how we've lost it as a culture as well. The tough love treatment at Newcastle for injured players is obvious: it disincentivises players from ducking out and encourages them to develop some inner fortitude. Now, that's unacceptable, but choosing to go out fighting every weekend is somehow mentil elf and not just a terrible life choice.
Wow glorifying a sinful man. How sad
Still a complete bellend still throwing punches in Sunday ask him why he's banned again
Probably the only episode I haven’t enjoyed, contradicted himself about 10 times during the discussion
Nobody (like me) but chats bull would be like bambi if I gave him a 50% hit
Absolute mugs game getting invovled in that
Seems like a bit of a hot head , shame he couldn't get it together and have a decent career....
Wasted talent
Brilliant.....ebra ...wawaw
That bit were he says “Colley” and he’s scared of him returning again is 110% correct.
Mike Tyson said exact same. Mike the fighter is gone but he’s still ascared of him coming back into his life because he makes the family man Mike look like a bitch.
He said it on his podcast when he had Sugar Ray Leonard on.
So mental health wise I’d say he’s correct especially like it’s a spilt personality. Like 2 different people.
Never heard of him
Neither had I, but a fascinating listen on a multitude of levels
Sad pathetic story tbf.
Least fave ep in a while, bit of a wasteman really, didn't find his story compelling at all
Bit of a wasteman how old are you. He’s telling his truth respect it that’s what podcasts are about it’s insightful. Your the only wasteman using Anelka 10 as your name when your a five a side player at best
@@samuelwedgbury Relax my friend, it's just my opinion - sort your grammar out and enjoy the bank holiday weekend pal
He's 5 foot 2, 7 stone wet through and talks like a softie. Hard?? HARD?! Set me up a fight with him. I'm 6 foot, 13 stone and like a gym session or 85. Fair fight init?
When, where, how, why and who. Sort it. I'm there.
Cheers all the best lads
😂
Melt
@@bananahammock9119 Arrange it. NOW
Gives it the big un doesn't he
oooooo you're hard 🤥
As soon as I saw the bare feet that was it for me, no like no subscribe
Shut up
Just another clown
Must be one of the worst episodes. Skipped through most of it, loves his own voice.
Fair play, personally found it a decent listen. Interesting to hear about a career like this.
Thought it was the opposite, thought he came across great. One of the best episodes
Must support Derby…
It's a podcast? Is he not supposed to talk...
Seems a nice enough man in his own way but the events described sound pathetic tbh. Imagine throwing away a place in the Newcastle team with Bobby Robson for scrapping. Not sure that's a MH issue either, just lack of sense.
More like it after sherwood
Good man this man
