Footballers' Voice
The careers of Australia's professional footballers extend well beyond their performances on the pitch; their lives and experiences are varied, diverse and rich. Through Footballers' Voice, the players' individual and collective stories are explored with host Jake Barker-Daish, who delves into their lives as people first, footballers second. Footballers' Voice features discussion on player education, wellbeing, identity, mentality, sacrifices and what it takes to become a professional footballer.

In our latest episode of the revamped Footballers' Voice, former Melbourne Victory and Socceroos goalkeeper Nathan Coe joins host Jake Barker-Daish to discuss his incredible career on the pitch and challenges he faced retiring from the sport early with a chronic back injury. During this candid chat at Coe's cafe in Melbourne, the former Victory stopper reveals he was a late bloomer as a goalkeeper, but quickly earned a move from Brisbane Strikers to a star-studded Inter Milan side in 2002. From there he served his apprenticeship at PSV, before earning first-choice status for SønderjyskE in the Danish Superliga, only for his career to come to a premature end at Melbourne Victory.
