This nostalgic episode is an inside view from Brian Stubbs, professional footballer with Notts County Football Club over a number of years and with 426 appearances. Brian provides a fascinating account of playing football and being part of the football family. Known as ‘The Enforcer’ Brian discusses with Paul, the tactics and approaches to playing consistently for such a successful team.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Working together is a key element of a successful team. As a defender alongside the goal-keeper you create a defensive block. To make this successful you must work as a team, he is protecting you and you are protecting him. 
Good management is about putting individuals in a position where they have responsibility and can do an effective job. It provides people with an opportunity to fulfill their role effectively. A good manager is able to identify and build using the strengths of individuals, to create a team that can achieve the best results.
Getting everybody on the same side and working together towards the same goal fosters a shared vision with everyone brought into team adding to the jigsaw. The attitude in the dressing room is an indication of the attitude of a team. A positive environment creates an atmosphere that supports the ethos of wanting to play, going out of the dressing room to start a game with the right attitude can make all the difference.
Feeling part of a  big family was a part of the football experience, for Brian. The football experience was about being part of the community, celebrating with fans face-to-face and spending time with the other team members. This family aspect of the footballer’s role helped to consolidate the team spirit.

BEST MOMENTS

“Keep the game simple, Football is about kicking a ball”

“Him being more afraid of me  - someone along-side you who could help you out”

“Big family we did everything together”

“Supporters make the legends, You are out there to do a job”

ABOUT THE HOST

Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

His World Game-Changers podcast embraces a mutually-respectful conversational style, with guests that are deemed ‘Unsung Heroes’ – selfless, dedicated people that contribute to the betterment of the world, in whatever way they can…


“Remember: The World’s Changing…

How Will YOU Respond?”
