Last season, our Socios at patreon.com/grahamhunter got an exclusive interview with Shaun Maloney. For the first time, here’s the full episode.
What can you say about Shaun Maloney? He is a humble, quietly intelligent man. He was a superbly gifted player who won silverware in the hoops of Celtic and the FA Cup with Wigan. He is a man whose footballing nous is so astute that he now helps his former Athletic boss Roberto Martinez at Belgium. Oh, and he’s a fellow Aberdonian. I bet you never knew that as a youth, he was one of the shining lights of Scotland’s tennis world during an era when the Murray brothers’ names were being uttered in excited whispers. However Shaun had no regrets about choosing football and talks about thriving under Martinez’s enlightened, attacking formation at Wigan. He also speaks about how in 2012 he scored to defeat Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United, a victory that galvanised the Latics’ players to attain Premier League survival.
