Last year I travelled to the UK to attend the British Boarding Schools Workshop where, over a pre-dinner drink, I had the fortune and pleasure of meeting Phil Gilchrist, Head of Admissions at Plymouth College. As the conversation unfolded, I discovered that Phil had previously been a professional premiership footballer and had played for renowned football clubs such as Leicester City, West Bromwich Albion and Nottingham Forest. I had to take the opportunity of finding out more about his life as a professional footballer and much to my delight, Phil agreed to have a chat with me about his experience as an elite sportsmen. In this first episode of the second series of The English Breakfast, we discuss Phil's journey through football, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Brian Clough, Martin O'Neil, Roy Keane and Robbie Savage (not to mention The Battle of Bramall Lane) and his eventual retirement and transition to schools admissions. A really interesting and insightful journey from someone who has an interesting tale to tell.
