The 2-Hour Special: Jamie Jellis on Bricklaying, Back-to-Back Promotions & Walsall Heartbreak.

Liam and Hannah are finally back in the studio, and to kick off the new season, we sat down for a massive 2-hour feature-length special with Walsall midfielder Jamie Jellis.

From laying bricks on a freezing building site to scoring a 91st-minute winner against Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup—Jamie has one of the most incredible comeback stories in the EFL, and we left no stone unturned in this episode.

We go deep into Jamie's journey, starting with his release from Stevenage during the pandemic and the "real world" reality check of working manual labour while grinding in non-league. Jamie opens up about the magical back-to-back promotions at Tamworth under Andy Peaks, and the phone call from Mat Sadler that brought him back to the Football League.

In the second hour, we get into the nitty-gritty of life at the Bescot. Jamie gives his honest, raw perspective on Walsall’s heartbreaking collapse last season—from being clear at Christmas to missing out on the final day and the pain of the Wembley Playoff Final loss. We also discuss dealing with social media abuse, the mental toll of the game, and his advice to young players following his FA betting charge.

Grab a coffee (or a beer), sit back, and enjoy this deep dive into the life of a modern footballer.
