  • Great watch!!

    What makes this video compelling is not just the calibre of the hosts, but the clarity of their message: resilience is earned, transition is inevitable, and growth comes from confronting challenges head-on. It is inspiring, grounded, and unusually insightful. A standout piece of content that offers far more than sports commentary; it offers perspective.

Making the Cut: Debuts, Doubt and Backing Yourself with Barrie McDermott, Adrian Morley & Shaun Lunt
Q: What advice would you give younger players, anybody chasing a dream, anybody doubting themselves?
For me, it's literally hard work, put in the hard work, don't worry about anyone else. Yeah, there might be people more skillful than you, there might be people ahead of you at that time, but if you don't give up and you keep working hard, you will get the fruits of your labour.
