About this listen
Former Premier League fullback Luke Young joins Stephen Warnock and Adrian Lamb to unpack how the fullback role has transformed over the last 10–15 years — from “stop the cross” defending to today’s on-ball creators. Luke gives a brutally honest take on sports science, “red zones,” squad rotation, and why modern fullbacks might be asked to do too much.
He also dives into mentality: where his competitiveness came from, how he stayed available across a long career, and why character and standards still matter as much as tactics. Plus: England nerves, club expectations at Spurs/Villa/Charlton, the reality of playing through injuries back then, matchday routines (including some questionable nutrition!), and why football can feel more controlled — and at times more boring — today.
