Episode 29
From cigars with Stoichkov to being scared of leaving the house.
For any football fan, the sight of a classic kit, is one that can fill your heart with glee and your eyes with tears. Football kits take you back to your childhood, when you first fell in love with the beautiful game. If you've ever wondered where and how these wonderful representations of our beloved institutions are made, then meet today's guest, Rob Warner.
Rob has spent the majority of his professional career designing football kits, including the kit Italy wore on their way to winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
His professional journey has seen him live in Germany and Holland, as well as working for Puma, pitching to Samuel Eto'o and Hristo Stoichkov. Rob has been as successful as you could hope to be in a profession he holds so dear to his heart.
However, despite all of that success, just a few years back, Rob found himself unable to leave the house without holding his Mother's hand, as he fell into a deep state of depression.
During this episode, Rob opens up about the struggles he's endured, what may have been the cause and how he has worked to overcome them, as well as regaling us with some amazing stories from his career.
