On this week’s episode on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by former Wales captain and Premier League footballer turned coach Craig Bellamy.
Craig takes on Gary at the Cube in Manchester before a fascinating sit-down interview.
Having clocked up over 500 professional appearances and represented nine clubs over a career that spanned almost 20 years, Bellamy does not lack in stories to tell.
Find out how much of a big influence legendary boss Bobby Robson was at Newcastle United before an acrimonious fall-out with Graeme Souness led to a St James Park departure.
Hear the full anecdote on his infamous Golf attack at Liverpool and which other member of the squad was involved in a separate incident on the same night. Bellamy also reveals where he was told to look for another club under Rafa Benitez.
Craig reveals his own mental health battles from childhood through to career injuries and the impact of losing a close friend and former-team mate Gary Speed.
Finally, we talk about how the Cardiff-born man has ventured into coaching through his love of the tactical side of the game and how he won’t be changing his philosophy any time soon.

If Roy Keane listened to the first 4 minutes of this he'd have plenty to say about the noises coming out of Gary 😂

@straysunshineband

Fair play to him for owning his past and admitting he was wrong with so many things. He’s clearly working on himself and his issues 🙌🏻

@McCrea210609

He's described my experience of mental health. I'm 41 and never sought help. I will now. Thanks Craig.

@eddiewinks2089

Just goes to show you, you should never judge a book by its cover. What an honest interview and a lot, people can take from it regarding looking after yourself mentally

@pie5811

What a wonderfully, candid, open and free interviewee Craig was. This only comes with shared knowledge of how the game has been over the past 20 years.

@stevieg4198

Never been a fan but this completely opened my eyes and changed my opinion. Fair play to him, it takes a brave person to be that honest

@user-ls1lu7gu4u

There was no better manager at understanding people than Bobby. Best English manger ever. The influence he had in football as a whole.

@ciaransmith128

Really good interview Gary. Bellamy showing what a real man he is with his open and honest way of talking. Class all round.

@diarmaidgorman5176

Fantastic interview again and Gary is an excellent interviewer - he knows when to probe, when to interrupt & when to sit there and just listen to his guest. And Bellamy comes across really well here, owning his mistakes & working incredibly hard to be a better person and acknowledge that he had issues that he needed to work on. Great stuff all round and very important

@Rljlsl1985

Really changed my opinion of Craig Bellamy after this. Loves his honesty / truthfulness.

@thesmithsnerd

“I’m not proud of it”, as he recounts the story with a gleeful smile.

@jh06ok

He was incredible in his one season at Blackburn. Playing in an average side but felt like he could score any time he touched the ball.

@michaeldoyle1222

Great interview. Love Craig Bellamy. Always honest and a truly great player. Zola once said Bellamy could have been world class if his knees weren’t so damaged.

@nickcraig1052

Amazingly honest interview! Loved watching Craig play at NUFC, what a player. Thank you and good luck to Craig!

@oscarwright7656

Absolutely adored Bellamy at West Ham. During a bit of a dark time for the club, anytime he came on the pitch I always felt like we had a chance

@SteveTheReve

Welcome to the Craig Bellamy Show 🍀 Loved him at Celtic. Honestly believe if he stayed longer he would’ve been up there with Larsson as one of our best ever strikers.

@smishking123456789

Everyone already has an opinion of Bellamy based on his persona on the field.

@OBraveNewWorld

One of the best interviews so far, Craig spoke openly and honestly and was important to hear him discussing keeping tabs on his mental health and for him to reflect on his past, respect to him also on admitting his wrongs.
