    The Brutal Reality of Being a Free Agent in Football
    2026/09/10
    What happens when the contract ends… and the next club doesn’t come? Jonny Williams has played 400 career games, featured at a Euros semi-final and a World Cup. Will Keane has played across the Championship and League One after coming through at Manchester United. Jamal Blackman has spent years in the professional game as a goalkeeper. And right now, all three are without a club. We joined them at the PFA’s pre-season camp to talk honestly about life as a free agent — waiting for calls, being overlooked for younger players, training without a contract and dealing with the uncertainty of what comes next. Three experienced pros, three very different situations, and a side of professional football fans rarely get to see. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    We asked YOU what footballers do that winds you up the most… 👀⚽️ And the answers came flying in 😂 Badge kissing. Ignoring the fans. Fake reactions for the cameras. Rolled-up shorts. Generic “we go again” posts. Being too friendly with the opposition. Even wearing the wrong kit when there’s no clash. Ben, Tom and Watto go through the lot — defending the players when there’s more to it, calling them out when there isn’t, and agreeing with the fans more often than you might expect.
