Martin Laursen: From Verona to Villa
Season 3, Episode 1, Nov 17, 2020, 07:00 AM
After the enforced break, The Broken Metatarsal is back with a new format as Martin Laursen joins Rich Williams and Mark Holmes for our first player special.
The 2000s icon talks us through his career from moving to Italy with Verona as a youngster to being half-owned by Parma, somehow engineering a move to AC Milan, the nightmare of life under David O'Leary and then finally the wonderful times he experienced under Martin O'Neill and the incredible bond he formed with Aston Villa fans.
