Matchday 31 - Gareth Ainsworth, Wimbledon legend and manager

Matchday 31 - Gareth Ainsworth, Wimbledon legend and manager

We talk to former flying winger Gareth Ainsworth about his playing and managerial career.
He tells us about his literal baptism of fire at Wimbledon, what he learned there about culture and how he models himself on Diego Simeone.
Gareth talks about his desire to manage in the US, the away dressing room at Accrington Stanley and why Ryan Reynolds made such a brave choice at Wrexham.
We cover promotion and relegation, causing havoc against Newcastle and his love of music - and performances with The Cold Blooded Hearts.
A fun chat with a real character of the game.
