Terry Phelan | The Wimbledon Crazy Gang, winning an FA Cup, coaching and developing players abroad | "Football is the same wherever you go"

Terrance Phelan has played at the highest level in football, having played football at the top end of English Football for clubs like Leeds, Chelsea, Manchester City, Everton, Fulham and Wimbledon. As well as representing Republic of Ireland on the international stage.

Towards the end of his career, Terry moved abroad to play and begin his journey in coaching at youth level. His travels took him to the USA, New Zealand and India.

Terry is now Technical Director of South United Football Club and oversees the development of the coaching staff and players throughout the football club set up. With over 450 young boys and girls being coached by his staff of 20 coaches, he never seems to be away from the fantastic facilities in Bangalore, India.

In this interview, I got a chance to talk to Terry about his playing career, that famous FA Cup Final victory over Liverpool in 1988, his journey from playing to coaching and educating, and his vision and ethos when it comes to coaching and developing people.

It was great to get to chat with someone who's enthusiasm for the game is infectious.
