[@Jay-Trainer]

As a small town football coach this is absolutely fascinating. Fair play to Mark for his very clear committment and passion.

[@duncangittins6060]

Outstanding, relating to kids was spot on, what happens if you go for a job, does everyone get it, no , you have to get used to winning and coming 2nd

[@perrykisby7684]

After watching this and listening to Marc... im now a Dorking fan 😂😂😂

[@chrissams88888882]

I started following Bunch of Amateurs in recent weeks. I look for Dorking's results now, and hope to go see them play live soon. Marc White is a top lad, he deserves the keys of Surrey / Dorking. He's worked miracles!

[@Sillygoooose624]

Best pod I've heard him too. Level above Fat Sam's pod, and Undr the Cosh!!

[@IHadTrialsOnce]

Glad you enjoyed it mate

[@timknightley9379]

Heard Marc on a few pods now,this is the best one yet.You can really get an insight into what Wanderers mean to him.

[@leebardsley3248]

There’s certainly more to this guy than meets the eye What a character 😂

[@graemeyetts3465]

English football urgently needs more people like Marc White IMO.

[@aw4968]

Marc White is a legend!

[@IHadTrialsOnce]

non-league legend

[@shaneclarke1514]

Most underrated podcast out there. Should have 10 x the amount of subscribers

[@IHadTrialsOnce]

[@samclaridge8804]

Bloody brilliant pod lads. Subscribed and looking forward to the next one!!

[@TJVOCALS]

the whole learning rejection at a young thing is a thing of the past, remember my first team release, heartbroken, but pushed me

[@drewskih4005]

You lot asked some good questions the other podcasts have been generic crap, this has given marc the chance to talk abit more about the back story

[@coeho]

Marc is legendary 🙌

[@nickhorsley652]

There’s more holes in Marc’s shirt than in Dorkings defence!

[@kernow_yid9156]

My local non league team is Cornish team, Truro City, they're fucking crap lol...I just started watching Dorking on KZbin, absolutely love them! I wanna go watch them and meet Mark...love this bloke! Absolute legend 👏

[@cdavis3669]

Brilliant episode well done lads 👏🏻

[@IHadTrialsOnce]

[@darrencarr9176]

That was tremendous guys really enjoyed that.. Marc White was brilliant. Agree with Seds that can't lose bollix mentality is shite.

[@d.o.c.t.o.r.c.r.o.w]

Fair play to him for building a club but what an absolute weapon!!!

[@jameswarland9710]

Great podcast as always lads. Prescott cables fan love our ground but can see why people hate coming with those changing rooms

[@jasonday7378]

Good podcast, he really reminds me of Ronnie O’Sullivan 🤣🚀

[@raymondthomadwormald9621]

Marc White classssss

[@J_Bone1888]

Why do you spend the first 3 minutes talking between you and completely ignoring your guest? 😂

[@nathansmith7281]

brilliant podcast great guest keep it coming

[@jameskinghorn1553]

Class podcast I was hooked

[@jakeylad2008]

Quality lads

[@danieledwards2941]

[@gordongrant894]

[@siyo99]

- "Ahh Joe, he was great craic. Remember that time he went over to Liverpool for trials? - "No Dougal, he was ON trial IN Liverpool."

[@j.w8030]

Gareth. Bit of advice less talking more listening. Amount of times you cut mark off mid flow. I find all the best podcasts let the guest talk. 👍

[@JediAvenger]

Gareth has never watched BOA? Shocking!

[@user-wg9kh4db8l]

And didn’t know what Paul Cook is doing …..

[@Coops95]

After watching them on bunch of amateurs, sitting down watching this 👌

[@FlatDerrick]

Love the podcast name - I got invited to trials once but it was for Southampton and I lived up north, my dad wouldn't let me go.

[@5tevieb954]

Took me ages to realise who Gareth was

[@markbotham8885]

top drawer that guys

[@IHadTrialsOnce]

Nice one Mark

[@dailystar1]

Hope they can stay up but not looking great.

[@garymckeon5410]

great for the first hour until it turned into old men shouting at clouds for a bit covering youth football lol

[@stevenhall4016]

never won a race at school - don't ever remember being that bothered or motivated by it though... decent podcast however.
