A couple of years ago my son contacted Dunk for an interview for his Uni degree. He replied and happily did the interview and was a thoroughly decent chap by all accounts. Then earlier this year I contacted him and asked him if he’d sign a shirt for my other son’s 21st. He picked the shirt up from the shop, took it to the training ground and got all the squad to sign it then made sure it got back to me. Absolute legend.

Russ-Listened to both- really good inciteful conversation. Thank you for sharing both. Just one thing.... Doncaster....promotion candidates...... Crazy to think Kyle Knoyle is back playing div 2.

Ha. I did cringe when I heard that bit. Not many tipped Donny for the drop, particularly after they signed Knoyle.
If people are enjoying the interviews I’ll upload some more over the coming weeks. There’s a limit on my free Soundcloud account so I can’t just bung them all on.

No probs- we'll trust your judgement.

I have to admit I’ve written him off a few times but how wrong was I. Deserves another deal no matter which league we’re in. Fantastic achievement and what a player.

Think it’s fair to say he has proved multiple people wrong over the years.
Absolute legend and deserves everything United can offer him. My daughter still has a soft spot for him now.

"I have to admit I’ve written him off a few times but how wrong was I. Deserves another deal no matter which league we’re in. Fantastic achievement and what a player"
Yeah, I can remember someone said his legs had gone 5-6 years ago!. While that was always wrong of a (then) 27-28 year old I don't think (m)any of us predicted he'd forge out a career as a league 1 left back in the latter half of his career.
Not sure where he'd be right now if he hadn't reinvented himself like that...possibly not with us in league 1 I'd guess. His legs had never gone, but I do think his adaptability has given him a career at this level he might not otherwise have had.
Nailed on for a new deal I'd hope.

The contrast between the chaotic energy of Dunk and Lennett defending and Rennett's calmness is a joy to watch. Enjoyed Morro's cameo where he spent most of it about to explode after being booked.
