He talks about how it feels to be approaching retirement, how he has dealt with grief and loss, and breaks down the dynamics of the O’Neill-Keane managerial team.

Plus Richie and Ken discuss the perils of online dating and Ken recalls his one foray into the murky waters of Tinder. The lads also touch on Ken’s, at times, “negative demeanour” and how he would be “weeded out” by a manager at a professional football club.

It’s Episode 10 of The Player’s Chair, with Shay Given.
