Hello & Welcome to the 6 8 or 10 Podcast with me, your Host - Craig Joyce & this weeks guest - Owen Coyle.

Disclaimer - This episode was recorded a few weeks back, we had a break and such is this world of football the timeline & landscape has shifted - especially when we speak about Queen's Park & Owen's Uefa Pro Licence trip to Geneva (which you may have seen via his social media channels).

Let's dive in now we have that part out of the way, we head back to Owen's earliest memories of Football which are naturally with his dad, Owen Snr from when he played football prior to moving into a career in management. We then jump straight to Owen's coaching career (thanks to his uncle Joe's honesty) where he done an apprenticeship before joining the England Amputee Football Association as an assistant and eventually becoming the Head Coach leading them out at International Tournaments and lending a hand in creating a pathway for the grassroots players to then pro clubs.

We then head to Queen's Park were we first met and have stayed in contact ever since. He was a vital part in promoting the Youth players to first team and part of the staff who nearly got Queen's Park to the Premier League.

We then take a detour via his journey on the Uefa Pro Licence with the Scottish FA, and down South to Nottingham Forest as we discuss his role there, as well as personal & player development.

Owen is ever so insightful about the game and his passion for it really does rub off on you and give you a buzz for it.

I've waffled on enough, so I'll let you crack on with this latest episode in Season 4.

Have a great weekend, thanks again for listening.

Bye Now.
