He's been head honcho at clubs in all four divisions in English football, experiencing everything from the giddy heights of taking Blackpool to the Premier League to fighting relegation from the Football League with Grimsby Town. What was surprising was the the touches of psychology and self reflection contained within Ian's words which elevated the story above your standard football biography. Before listening I’d just thought that Ian was the managerial equivalent of Robbie Savage but there’s clearly a lot more to him and I really enjoyed how he spoke about looking after his players (horrendous preseasons aside) both on and off the pitch.About the Author: Born in Kingswood in Gloucestershire in 1963, Ian Holloway has been involved in professional football for four decades.
