About this listen

 Stoke City midfielder Ben Pearson charts his story from scaling the fence of his Oldham primary school and working under Sir Alex Ferguson & Louis Van Gaal at Manchester United, to a future life in property developing and “wanting to win so badly” every time he plays for Stoke – all this and more on the latest episode of Potters’ Pod, the only official Stoke City Podcast. The former Man Utd, Barnsley, Preston North End and Bournemouth man recalls how 2am starts working in a local bakery didn’t deter his Dad from putting in the hours to help Ben work on his football, and how training with a star-studded Red Devils first team allows City’s number four to empathise with youngsters taking similar steps in ST4 today. Ben also discusses genuinely living the old cliché of never looking too far ahead, how his win at all costs “game mode” and off-field personality are completely at odds and why he plans to step fully away from the game at the conclusion of his playing career.
