Cotterill’s covid recovery, Alex Mowatt and Mark Robinson - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Aaron Paul is joined by Millwall winger Jed Wallace and Salford City goalkeeper Tom King, who’s the godfather to Jed’s oldest boy.

They talk about their relationship on and off the pitch, what it’s like to play against each other and what they would be doing if they weren’t footballers.

Shrewsbury manager Steve Cotterill joins the boys to talk about his recovery from covid. He tells us how he managed the team from hospital and how the virus still affects him now.

Steve also talks about giving Jed his first chance in professional football at Portsmouth and how he could easily be a Premier League player.

West Brom midfielder Alex Mowatt drops by to talk about their strong start to the season and gives us an insight into what Valérien Ismaël is like to play for.

And Wimbledon head coach Mark Robinson discusses how they’ve built relationships with Premier League clubs to take advantage of the loan market and how they’ve changed their style to attract more players.
