S01 EP5 (Part 1): Dahrius Waldron
Series One sees us meet Liverpool FC&aposs Academy class of 2013/14.
Episode Five is about Dahrius Waldron and it is an incredible story. Born and raised in Manchester, Dahrius had a very difficult start in life which football, and particularly the Liverpool FC Academy in Kirkby, took him away from. A special relationship with his "digs" parents whilst at LFC is a particularly rewarding listen. Much of his time at the club was well spent but, as he entered scholarship, he found himself down the pecking order and ultimately had a torrid time as an apprentice. Using LFC&aposs connections he moved to the US to join the College system there but ultimately that would fall down and he found himself back home and drifting (or "roaming" as he puts it). Tragically, he would find himself getting caught up in a fracas outside a nightclub that led to a conviction for affray and, ultimately, a prison sentence. This is, though, an uplifting listen as he now finds himself on an upward curve in football, in work and in his personal life. Strap yourself in for Part 1 of Dahrius&apos story.
