About this episode

James Trafford discusses his journey as a goalkeeper, including his experiences at Manchester City and Accrington Stanley.

England and City keeper James Trafford is the latest guest on our official podcast... The 23-year-old sits down with presenters Sam Cox and George Kelsey to discuss everything from his best friends enjoying London life ahead of a Wembley showpiece to being asked at Accrington if he’d ever stopped a shot before! Loan moves, a trial at City aged 12 to being in the 2021 Champions League final squad and then at Accrington Stanley three weeks later, Trafford’s recollections are colourful and engaging. All the above plus how his love of idol Petr Cech ended in him trying to purchase a protective skull cap - and loads more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
