In this episode Jamie, Dan and John Salako discuss not only John's amazing professional football career that saw him play at the top level for nearly 20 years, but also some of the unique insights and life lessons John was able to take away from being successful in such a tough environment. As every football fan would hope there are the journeys down memory lane to recollect some of John's fondest times in football, such as the FA Cup final and replay against Manchester Utd, and his time playing with the likes of Ian Wright, Mark Bright and Nigel Martin in what was the team that achieved Crystal Palace's highest ever league finish. As well as this though John really helps give some brilliant insight into his methods of using sport and exercise to benefit his mental health and well-being, and gives some invaluable advice and suggestions for anyone listening. We were struck at not only how insightful and understanding of the nature of our podcast John was, but also what a genuine, funny, and supportive individual he is. An all round top bloke that made for a great guest. We hope you enjoy the Sport 4 More Podcast- With John Salako.
