Swapping Shirts With A MURDERER, George Ray's Naked Darts & Play-Off Final Heartbreak! | Tom White17 jun1 u 21 min

We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Gateshead, Barrow, Blackburn, Bolton, Morecambe and current Boreham Wood midfielder Tom White.

Tom sits down with Gaz & Jord as he discusses his time in football from suffering heartbreak in the recent National League play-off final against Rochdale to loving life playing men's football.

The lads start the pod talking about Tom's time at Boreham Wood, their brilliant season and how difficult it was to deal with the heartbreak of losing against Rochdale in the play-off final.

They then talk in depth about Tom's upbringing in the North East playing grass roots football, his experience as a youth player at Carlisle and struggling to get trials at other clubs.

The trio then chat about why Tom's ACL injury was the best thing that ever happened to him as it gave him the kick start his career needed at some important loan moves.

Tom then speaks about how his time at Gateshead earnt him a move to former Premier League champions Blackburn Rovers before he soon realised the move was the wrong one to make.

Tom continues with his love for Barrow during his first loan spell, why he struggled to make an impact at Bolton Wanderers and his experience of working with Dave Challinor at Hartlepool.

Finally, he talks about returning to Barrow on a permanent, pre-season stag do's which included swapping shirts with a murderer and George Ray's naked darts against Pete Wild.
