Chappers Meets Paul Lake
Mark Chapman meets Paul Lake, the former Manchester City player forced into early retirement aged 27. He talks about the early end to his career and his struggle with depression.
Mark Chapman is joined by Paul Lake, a man who could have been England captain, could have played alongside Paul Gascoigne in World Cups, could have broken the British transfer record, and could have made the 90s a bit more bearable for the Blue half of Manchester.
Paul explains why that wasn't to be, and his struggle with depression, after being forced into retirement from Manchester City aged just 27.
