1,867 Premier League appearances. 389 international caps. 15 major honours. And Usain Bolt is on the waiting list. Welcome to Wythenshawe Vets — the most decorated Sunday league team you’ve probably never heard of. And Stephen Ireland plays for them. The former Manchester City and Stoke City midfielder joins @peterlane1985 and George Boyd for one of the most entertaining conversations the podcast has had. From his playing days at the highest level to life post-football, Stephen talks honestly about what happens when the game ends, how he thinks about money and legacy… …and why the best team he's ever been part of might just be a group of veterans from #Wythenshawe. Expect laughs. Expect honesty. Expect a perspective on the long game you won't find anywhere else.  🔗 Watch/listen:  youtu.be/kVsf80l6seQ  open.spotify.com/show/05i8SDHKo… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/bit… 🙏 Thank you to our sponsors: @coincorner @coincornerdanny @xceofficial @btconlyscott @VEIN_intel  #Bitcoin #BTC #StephenIreland #WythenshaweVets #PremierLeague #BitcoinAndTheLongGame #Podcast
