It's another one of our #BigInterviews. Huge thanks to bonafide club legend Mark O'Brien for joining us. Rhys is in the hotseat as Mark chats about his time at the club. He joined under Graham Westley, scored THAT Great Escape goal, and was a feature of the side as it evolved under Mike Flynn to progress to two play-off finals and numerous cup runs, and this summer was appointed club ambassador.
Mark speaks candidly about coping with having to retire at 27 through heart issues, and dealing with the subsequent PTSD and depression. It's raw and emotional, and we're grateful to Mark for sharing his journey with us.
If you want to read more on Mark’s story, his book Game of Two Hearts: My Life in Football and Beyond is available from Amazon and Waterstones.
As always, you can contact us via your social media platform of choice, and you can also donate as little as £2 via our ko-fi page towards our running costs. Thanks as always to the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of great sport and burgers in Newport) for their support, and to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune. Our outro music is Virgo by Sean T.
We'll be back with a one-month-in discussion after the Franchise and Cambridge games. But until then: look after yourselves, look after each other, and above all – as always – Keep It County!
