Episode 13. "Rejected by Chelsea, rejected by Watford, rejected by QPR, he was about to train as a gardener" say Jim & Sue, parents of Chris Mepham
Jim and Sue Mepham, the proud parents of professional footballer Chris Mepham at Bournemouth FC. Here we explore their remarkable journey of how his parents supported Chris through the highs and lows of the industry. Constant setbacks almost led him to train as a gardener with his uncle, but with some extra encouragement from his mum Sue, he was willing to give it one last go.
This episode really tunes into not only the physical, logistical, financial challenges of parents supporting the youth football journey but also the mental ones which we rarely hear about. A beautiful account from a humble and dedicated family.
