From Oldham to AFCON, Playing against Neymar & Swapping shirts with Iniesta?? | Dean Furman

I Had Trials Once is back again for another episode...
This week Jordan & Gaz are joined by South African cult hero and current Warrington Rylands player manager...Dean Furman.
The boys talk everything from the growing up in South Africa to coming through the ranks and training with the first team at Chelsea.
They then discuss Dean's international career and how he became a South African cult hero and captaining the team in the African Cup Of Nations.
Dean then talks about the decision to leave Oldham and how it felt to finally win a league title with Doncaster and play in the Championship.
Finally Dean reveals how he initially struggled with the switch to semi-professional football and how he became the player/manager of Warrington Rylands after another IHTO guest, Michael Clegg left for Macclesfield.
