Defoe & Deeney Football Firsts: Making Headlines

In episode ten Troy and Jermain discuss the first time they made headlines in the papers for good.....and bad reasons, and how that headline news affects your psyche. They discuss the ratings that journalists used to give players, which footballers like to read the papers, and how they reacted to seeing their respective names on the back pages for the first time. And then the pair look at what happens when they transcend football and make the front of the paper, often for what would be classed as "the wrong reasons". Troy talks about how he embarrassed his family, whilst Jermain discusses what happens when the press try and deconstruct a footballer's private life on the front pages.
