Talk's A Good Game Podcast Episode 2 contains the usual sports banter and stories, with a hard hitting focus on child abuse.
After recently featuring on the huge BBC documentary 'Footballs Darkest Secret' we  were delighted to welcome ex professional footballer Dion Raitt as our guest. Dion gives us an exclusive, in depth story that lead to the infamous court case. He talks us through:

- early football days including Manchester United
- leaving home and making it pro
- the abuse he received
- his football journey carrying the weight of the problem
- struggles with addictions
- confronting the problem
- speaking out
- raising awareness

and more!

It really is a fascinating and moving listen! Part 2 will follow very soon.

In relation to this topic, we are supporting 'Offside Trust' http://www.offsidetrust.com/  in which Dion is an ambassador of.

Yet again proof that Talk's A Good Game!
