The newly appointed Manager of Stoke City, Mark Robins, joins Rob Adcock for a special episode of Potters’ Pod.
From winning trophies and managing injuries, to ironing newspapers and living the life of a fugitive, Robins relives his playing days at home and abroad.
He goes on to reveal how sustained success in the dugout, after nearly going under in his maiden management role, continues to prove the late Graham Taylor right.
A chance meeting with Lou Macari and access all areas treatment from "top man" Tony Pulis were steps along the way to the bet365 Stadium for the former Coventry gaffer.
Now he explains how an eagle eye for a player, a knack for building successful sides and being unapologetically direct can be his secrets for success in ST4.
