Football aside,I worked with Gary at Royal Mail when he was in between clubs.One of the funniest and likeable people Ive ever met.

[@mickeybarrass1901]

Cracking podcast that lads. Certainly lived his life that lad. Good to hear he's moving forward with his life too.

[@CyrusGris]

Definitely need a part two of this, very good episode. Sad and funny in parts. Keep up the good work lads

[@martinbyrne7050]

Great work lads best so far, I always remember that goal he scored for the millers from the half way line

[@zevrev8665]

Fair play most honest interview yet keep up the good work boys

[@sanandbaz]

Great lad, grew up 3 doors down from me, was in his brother Lee's class in school, Great family

[@deletebilderberg]

I remember Gary playing for Crewe. He was just a kid. Seriously talented footballer.

[@waynehammerton5698]

The very best of luck with everything Gary great podcast lads

[@benzulu596]

This channel has some proper laughs and quality stories!

[@shipyard6276]

Defo one of the best lads. Keep em coming

[@rossyg6644]

Absolutely class episode, keep up the good work fellas

[@dougiemills1447]

Look after him lads.... I think he’s still on his way to getting better. The way he’s sipping those pints. Top bloke but he still needs help with it. Top channel , love it!!

[@PermanentMerka]

Yeah I'm a professional bloke has much work to do. Good luck to him

[@trinitysmate]

Respect to him, he's come through the tunnel, no regrets just lessons and looking damn good for it!

[@richardkelbie5362]

Looking good? Did you only listen to it

[@Tricky181]

Can relate to this lad massively. He's very interesting

[@joshregan-stansfield7264]

Led my bang average Chester side into the national league on FM19 with 7 goals and 4 red cards in 30 apps. Legend.

[@markjackson6823]

💓 on the sleave 🥰🥰🥰👊👍😱 😱 😱 a legend ❤️ and a character 🤭🤣😂👊👍

[@3coldcapricorn227]

Another belter from the boys

[@markdavis8430]

This had a bit of everything Top class guys

[@mycill100]

Gary what a player he played for England at under 16,17,18 where he was captain and under19 nice to see him at his home town club.

[@pound4poundko701]

Top class pod again.

[@andrewsharp395]

Bloody hell, what a character ! Been bad laughing so much. 👏 .

[@decmcgovern9281]

Pure Class lads!!!

[@FozzQuaker]

Listening to this while waiting for my appointment with my addictions worker... Absolute Belter of a show...

[@snowman9635]

Good luck pal

[@jepfrsh1726]

Any news pal?

[@trev4ni1]

Few months late but hope you are doing well buddy

[@markmessiwilliams5578]

Absolutely brilliant #LEGEND ⚽

[@Afed390]

Class at Port Vale, should bring him back

[@scottwarner2581]

another top pod guy's. horrible to see this though the man clearly had unbelievable talent imagine what he could have done in the game if he had someone like frank lampards dedication. wish him all the best in the future with his demons 🙏

[@joeclutton9379]

Best one yet

[@davidbrent2046]

PART 2 !!! PLEASE

[@deepcut5098]

What a cracking interview. I know it doesn’t bother Roberts so much about not making it big time, but as a Crewe fan that guy had seriously talent when he showed up. I remember his second chance with Vale and even with our rivalry I hoped it would be a jump start for him again... great to see he’s finally on the right path though, who knows where he would have been had his support come earlier in his career

[@1889BLADE1889]

One of the best yet that quality lads

[@andydunnett4058]

1889BLADE1889 gxx

[@mrtoad2013]

Such a quality player who lost his way tragically, always used to sign him on football manager. When I working my way up through the leagues. It's hard to feel sorry for lads who waste all the chances they get when there are thousands of lads dying for a chance.

[@maxryder6649]

You don’t know his story bro. Just because he is a footballer who had bags of talent. Just had issues outside the Game. I Don’t know what football manager has to do it with it either

[@georgejames9340]

The 4 punctures story had me up 😂😂😂

[@michael-ps9ko]

Love this One

[@owens164]

Top podcast 👍

[@jasontanulak4443]

Any chance of getting Gary back on? One of my favourites this and I think part 2 would be better as your 3s interview technique is better nowadays....slightly 🤣

[@brianweale5539]

Get Gary Roberts "part two" he did say at the end "I could stay and give you stories all f..king day". Sounds as though he had the talent but lost it being a bit wayward. Great interview lads, keep 'em coming.

[@TheSplashback1]

Gotta disagree with you mate. I've listened to nearly all the podcasts now and this guy is the worst of the bunch. Despite the crazy mishaps there's just nothing warm, kind nor or endearing about him. Chance after chance after chance but continually fucks up through his own decisions and never seems to be sorry or grateful to those who bail him out of the shit. Total dickhead.

[@joeclutton9379]

No mate, he had issues with addiction,not a dickhead atall. He is doing well now and has a family he clearly loves. Nit to mention he could make you look like a child on the football pitch. Dobt be so quick to judge

[@trev4ni1]

Sad to see negative comments below. Great episode, real character and good luck to him overvcoming his problems

[@joeclutton9379]

I know,shocking that so many find the need to critisce after hes opened up about crazy times just for our entertainment, poor from them all

[@cjdale9149]

Need a tom pope and gary roberts special!!! Please get it sorted out parkey

[@trinitysmate]

Trust me, this guy should of played at the VERY top, no BS he was phenomenal

[@markstevens3057]

A class baller, walked into Crewes team and bossed it in the champ as a teenager. That's life though.

[@morrinpat7154]

Saw him play for town in vale FA cup in Dec 2009, he terrorized opponents on the wing.

[@richardcliff8354]

I am 48 Port Vale Fan who has watched the best Midfield players in our history. Robbie Earle ! Ray Walker ! Ian Taylor ! Paul Kerr! Gary Roberts belongs in that company a TORTURED GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PermanentMerka]

What was he good at. I heard he was a natural striker of a ball? What else?

[@fullcorefootball2459]

Top Work lads!

[@paddy2456]

Class again this one. Fucking class podcast

[@MrTerryb1956]

Nice to hear Gary talk well about Neil Baker [ Bakes ] hes no at the mighty Leek Town

[@PaulNicholsonGO]

Podcast #38 with Bob. Good lad hopefully he can sort him self out before he packs in training. Or Bob will get him everyday.

[@stuartnicholson4490]

Legend

[@mytayube]

You can see the dynamic Baldy is the side kick who puts it together. Parkin the unprofessional boozer and Browny the keep it all together sensible pro . The story about shitting on the Ghanian 'funny name' footballers pillow was an arsehole thing to do and probably sums this player up . Parkin laughing his head off , baldy nervous laughs and browny realising I need to say something quick time

[@joeclutton9379]

Browny is defintley not the "sensible pro" Google him if you don't believe me. It's just a few lads in the pub telling story's and we get to listen in.That is the beauty of the podcast and why I watch them. Dont look too deep into it mate

[@mytayube]

@@joeclutton9379 I subscribe to it on paetron. it's a decent earner for these guys , they don't want any controversy. Browny probably had a laugh when younger but whenever Parkin goes too crude Browny pulls him up on lowering the tone > he's not comfortable with some stories , he's more aware that its recorded.

[@darwinnoah2851]

Crewe and dario have a lot to answer for, chucking the young lad thousands of pounds when he clearly had an addiction and a lot of issues

[@owens164]

Gary so I’m thinking fuckin hell Roberts

[@richardthomasmckeon5671]

There is only one gary roberts he's one of our own

[@DC42087]

Makes me think how many pros were bang on the gear, even now days..

[@brumsgrub8633]

Fucking hell, really hope he's okay and stays well, there's a nice bloke in there somewhere

[@joshuajones441]

What a #legend #crewe#youth#england

[@ashleyparke7693]

Would love to see Andy 'mad dog' Hughes on this!

[@pjduff7577]

To still be able to have a drink without the gear fair play because anyone will tell you who has been in that situation they go hand in hand and to give up the gear the drink has to go aswell

[@CO-lx9ck]

Very true pal

[@gazzy5303]

100%

[@pejpm]

This is sad. Recovering alcoholics can’t just have a few beers, and recovering gambling addicts can’t have the occasional bet. Best of luck to the lad, but he’s deluding himself.

[@richardkelbie5362]

Imagine that being your dad

[@mytayube]

Yep . And it just looks sad when Parkin makes ' hahah want another one ' comment. Found this episode depressing

[@berylinwood4007]

Do John Sheridan. My man defo has stories lol

[@andylowe3879]

Get Billy Whitehurst on Parky he only lives a kick n a fart darn road from yer 👍🏻 quality work lads btw

[@andrewwynn9126]

Get Luke Rogers on lads 👍

[@richierich1258]

Only just seen this, been to about 1,000 Port Vale games, most talented footballer I`ve seen pull on a Vale shirt.....only my opinion

[@KingKong-ee8hc]

Funny guy 😂

[@Timekeeper1200]

Big talent. In another environment or circumstances he could have played for England. Sounds a hell of a lad though

[@RyanMcCaigAndTheCrew]

Why does he keep his pint under the table?

[@ricksterk7014]

Its terribly sad to see Gary like this and especially now in 2023😢

[@bradleywilkinson6611]

What’s he like now ? Thought he’d turned it round ?

[@garyphillips006]

So he's got it "under control" Its not under control lad.

[@richardkelbie5362]

Guy seems like a total Jake ball who happened to be really good at football for a little while

[@Uncleal29]

Fuckin shocking 2 lads with pints , unbelievable really

[@thepriest71]

top pro

[@dannyPVFC87]

Technically one of the best midfielders I’ve ever seen down vale

[@jaffacake8307]

Is this the same guy who played for Wigan n Pompey

[@WallieTheRed]

played with nobby a lot at youth level, he was one of the best i'd ever seen but an absolute prick with it

[@Tricky181]

Elaborate on tht

[@ollyglenday6561]

Just watched this tonight I hope this lad is doing ok he’s obviously got an addictive personality don’t think giving him pints is a good idea, watched loads of your podcasts only one I’ve thought was a bit dodgy

[@leeanderson7877]

Difficult one to watch that but good luck to him.

[@enolagay9]

class ....

[@jamesodriscoll6748]

Wonder what he was thinking

[@devout666]

Shane McGowan wants his teeth back

[@youtubebram4393]

I fuckin doubt it hahaha

[@andycoppack8656]

Monday saved haha

[@bradleyparfitt1208]

Robbie Blake?

[@mazzinas5610]

Baller in his day, even if he was never fit

[@robertmclean4318]

As good as these videos are the structure is all over place

[@JC-ss7xy]

' i fucked up, but had a great time doing it'... you only live once

[@welshie1979]

Great video but not sure about the drinking, hope he stays off it.

[@oldloafandyoung]

Looks like he is still on the beer heavily to me. Not familiar with him as player. No clips on KZbin that I can find. Must have been good though for so many clubs to gamble on him. Waste of talent.

[@myaphextwin807]

Gary who?

[@novice28]

That was uncomfortable viewing....

[@mickmccourt6619]

Why?

[@novice28]

@@mickmccourt6619 the guy clearly has problems and is struggling more than he is willing to admit. Just sad to see

[@FlummoxedCartwright]

The guy shat on the pillow of the person he was living with because he hated the smell of his foreign food and couldn't be arsed to pronounce his name. Sounds like a real champ. This podcast just lost me.

[@gazzy5303]

What?

[@berylinwood4007]

I've just watched over an hour and STILL haven't a fucking clue who he is.......

[@jaydee4428]

Trust me, They’re mustard they’re Seamus Coleman hahahahahaha

[@jeremywentworth1833]

Thought Gary was alright just been abit of a lad with what he got upto.until he mentioned drink driving in the Chairman's MERC then pissed up smashing it up laughing about it, could have killed himself and anyone else walking or another motorist and very disrespectful for doing, we all do daft stuff but that takes the biscuit.

[@barryrowlings83]

Yea, not a great look at all

[@anthonycole2983]

I respect the man's honesty but am i the only one that thinks he swears too much? Even liam gallaghers toned it down over the years 😂

[@Pooterman123]

Such a shame. Another footballer with addiction issues. When is football going to help these players before they get hooked? Watched the Robbie Blake podcast the other day and he was the same. Thousands of pounds now in the bookies pockets

[@95Lodgey]

What a horrific bloke

[@Alex-kh3dv]

Shame that he is hiding his pint.

[@youtubebram4393]

He's got some teeth on him

[@deezipad2965]

Very sad

Once sold coke to Gary outside papa John's in Chester

Wow very impressive.

[@maccabees1000]

shat in someone pillow wtf, proper wrong un

[@liccleterror]

Shame he began to slur. I wish him all the best, but there's a lot of denial still occurring.

[@Letusgobyland]

Nope not for me this one.

[@roberturquhart2053]

Boy sounds like a right tool, bregging about wasting a career many would love. Sad

[@kemperboyd16]

So I'm thinking... could he drag these stories out a bit.

[@MrJimboCross]

Amazing stories. It's a shame he can't string a sentence together

[@peterrooney7236]

Prick have some respect

[@TheSplashback1]

Gary Roberts clearly has no respect for anything or anybody.

[@groot8932]

Don’t like the lads saying oh another pint etc no need really
