Straight From The Off - With Graeme ‘Basher’ Porter

Straight From The Off welcomes Graeme ‘Basher’ Porter to the Podcast. Bash was one of the stand out players at his age group playing for Merton Villa when his father was manager. He was selected to play for Bootle Boys ‘B’ team but not deemed good enough for the ‘A’ Team. After working on his game and impressing during matches he was selected to play for Sefton Boys and it was at that level he excelled and was asked to go for a trial at Leeds United. During that trial Basher scored a hat-trick and was asked to join the club permanently. After a year YTS Graeme signed a 4 year pro deal and was brought onto the pitch at Elland Road to sign his contract in front of the fans before a home premier league match vs Everton. Basher tells us what it was like being a scouser in Leeds and what lead to his controversial sacking! He tells us about life after pro football and playing with his mates at a very good level of amateur football and how hard it was. He talks about all the other teams he has played for, the coaching of his sons team, his favourite goals, games and all about the lads he shared a pitch with and played against and coached throughout those times.
