E30 | Jeremy Christie
Episode summary | Jeremy Christie
The only footballer to have played for the Football Kingz, NZ Knights, and the Wellington Phoenix, and he's got the stories to prove it.
We talk about the 'genius' brain of Tim Brown, living with Winston Reid for a year in London, playing for the All Whites against Mexico in front of 100,000 people despite not having a club and his new life in Orlando.
