There will be a few of these interviews appearing as it is the annual "Shop Small" promotion the club gets involved with.
And a great example to some footballers who use their time out injured doing the bare minimum mandated rehab sessions, getting drunk and going clubbing.“On holidays with his family in Greece and Portugal he would say goodbye to his partner and children for a couple of hours every day to go on a long run or to the gym, or do some pitch-based work. “It’s not easy,” he says. “You’d prefer to be training with the group. But you know what? It’s good to do work when no one is watching as well. It makes you feel better.” “
Now THAT is the way to do it: not just football or fitness training but the whole big goddam ballgame of life, work, whatever. No wonder he’s overcome all these awful setbacks with a mindset like that. It makes me feel better reading that.
If I have a slight criticism it's that it's that I hope he just used Giggs and Ronaldo as footballing role models and not anything elseLong and insightful interview with our evergreen marksman, truly the nicest guy in the game. So proud he’s one of us and in such blistering form: long may it all continue:
Danny Welbeck: They said I might never return to this level
Danny Welbeck: They said I might never return to this level
Years after being told by doctors that injuries could curtail his time at the top, the Brighton striker is fit, focused and enjoying his best start to a season yetwww.thetimes.com
Obvious next move really. Similar bunch of middle-aged, whinging posters to deal with.I can relate to that. I was moderating the National Trust Members Forum before Bozza scouted me and made me a similar offer to come here.
His clever run opened up the way for Pedro to put in O’Riley for his goal. Tremendous stuff.Not amongst the goals this evening but DW deserves his flowers, the energy and press from him is massive, leads from the front and puts in a Captains performance 🫡
Welbeck and O'Reily both have shown that attitude, application and mindset are massive in injury rehabilitation. I genuinely believe that fitness driven as much by a player's mindset as well as their physical prowess.And a great example to some footballers who use their time out injured doing the bare minimum mandated rehab sessions, getting drunk and going clubbing.
He’ll have set backs going forward, of course, but that was a great interview
And there was some fool on 606 saying players over 30 don´t "bounce back " from injury!Welbeck and O'Reily both have shown that attitude, application and mindset are massive in injury rehabilitation.

People bounce back, Dennis Hopper, Rolf Harris… there are othersAnd there was some fool on 606 saying players over 30 don´t "bounce back " from injury!
How long was Rolf Harris out of football for?People bounce back, Dennis Hopper, Rolf Harris… there are others
What's disappointing about that?The only disappointing thing in that interview is finding out his Dad is a social worker called Victor.
Connolly has left the club nowAnd a great example to some footballers who use their time out injured doing the bare minimum mandated rehab sessions, getting drunk and going clubbing.
It’s a reference to the joke about his Dad being called Stan and working in bomb disposal.What's disappointing about that?
He’s playing at an unbelievable level right now, the captaincy seems too have pushed him to another level.His clever run opened up the way for Pedro to put in O’Riley for his goal. Tremendous stuff.
