247: Richard O'Donnell

Goalkeepers' Union

Big Dick, in the middle of our goal, Big Dick...

Another goalkeeper. Another unique goalkeeping story.
Richard O'Donnell sits down with GKU to recall a career with the type of twists and turns we've not heard from a previously featured guest.
From almost falling out of the game a year after his release from Sheffield Wednesday, to bouncing back with Walsall and then opting to join Wigan - a move which catalysed a series of new contracts with new clubs in a matter of just a few years - he tells his tale in an honest and reflective fashion.
As chilled as "down to Earth" guys go (quote: Steve Cotterill) Rich is right up there. Now 34 and off the back of yet another Player of the Year campaign, the next challenge awaits.
