In this episode TAOF Podcast's Kev chats to West Ham United's former Academy coach and now Pathways & Development Manager Mark Phillips about his love for club, both as a die hard fan growing up in Camberwell and then eventually working for the club as a coach on the academy side of things for the last 20 years.
Amongst many things, Mark details how he became involved with West Ham's famous Academy after an initial coaching stint at Arsenal and what it was like to oversee the development and witness both the career highs and lows of a number of Academy products, including Josh Cullen, Reece Oxford and of course Declan Rice, who was unceremoniously released by Chelsea at 14 years old and whom Mark predicted during his development that that not only would he become captain of West Ham United, but also of England.
He's the man that even Mark Noble cites as being the real 'Mr West Ham'!
