#156 - In Love With The Game w/ Scott McLachlan

Scott McLachlan is the Global Head of Football for Global Football Holdings.

After listening to Scott it is hard not to be infused with wonder and awe for the beautiful game. An expert storyteller Scott's anecdotes about the 1978 World Cup in Argentina and 2021 Champions League Final are just two wonderful milestones amid a formidable love affair with the game. Retaining this child like affinity for the game alongside his continuous dedication to the craft of coaching has ensured Scott to be an invaluable asset to each organisation he has represented

In his own words "2 ears, 1 mouth" coupled with an insatiable work ethic have dismembered all roadblocks on a relentless learning journey. Join us as Scott takes us inside his journey from early coaching days at Wimbledon to managing a group of scouts at Chelsea to the present overseeing a portfolio of clubs at GFH.

Ensure you have your notebook at the ready for this one.
