Beyond the Pitch: Dean Holden on Football, Loss, and Living in the Spotlight

  • Summary

  • We're back with another cracking guest on Talking Cod, none other than footy legend Dean Holden.


    Dean talks about his illustrious career as a player and a manager, most recently of Charlton Athletic, but then opens up with deep authenticity as he talks about the tragic loss of his daughter, Cici.


    And that triggered something huge in our conversation: as someone in the public eye, how much of your personal life do you have to shield?


    We weren't expecting someone so prolific to approach the episode with such openness and candour, and we can't thank Dean enough for the authenticity he gave us during our chat.


    If you think you know what's going on in a football manager's head, you need to listen to this edition.
