EPISODE 16 - Steven Caulker

Off The Shelf

Joining Michael Dawson and Matt Tarr on the Off The Shelf podcast this week is... Steven Caulker!

From his Spurs academy days, his surprise first team debut coming completely out of the blue to representing Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics - in the football team but it could've been 800m - 'Caulks' takes us through his journey at the Club and beyond.

Uncover the challenges he faced under Andre Villas-Boas, his solitary cap (and goal!) for England and why he opted to play for Sierra Leone after scoring for England. Also hear the honest discussions around the personal struggles he faced with addiction that led him to seeking help and rehabilitation and his poignant personal account of a tragic bus accident that claimed the life of a teammate whilst playing for Alanyaspor in Turkey.

This is a compelling story of resilience and the complex tapestry of a footballer's life.
