Paul Konchseky in the hot seat today, starting out playing Sunday League with the likes of John Terry, Bobby Zamora, Sol Campbell, and Ledley King to making his professional debut for Charlton at just 16.
Konchesky remembers that famous playoff win over Sunderland, fiery training ground bust-ups, and the falling out with Alan Curbishley that eventually led him to West Ham. Along the way there are brilliant dressing room tales, including Scott Parker’s transfer tactics, Andy Todd’s short fuse, and Stephen Bywater with the best excuse you’ll ever hear for not saving a shot.
Konchesky’s career is absolutely littered with sliding door moments including Curbishly turning up at his boyhood club West Ham forcing him out, being sat on the bench with Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Jesse Lingard and then choosing to go on loan the season Leicester won the league.
