The One with Liam Claffey

The Sheffield Eagles general manager on the 1895 Cup, Izzy Folau - and designing the kit!

Last summer, the Sheffield Eagles had arguably the biggest moment in their history when they came from behind to beat Widnes at Wembley to win the first-ever 1895 Cup.

It was a huge moment for the rugby league side - and watching it all unfold was Eagles' general manager Liam Claffey. He's a man that lives and breathes the Eagles - and, as a gay man, he's certainly been in demand as the sport reacts to the signing of Izzy Folau by the Catalan Dragons.

We reckon this is a cracking listen and a proper insight into what it's like to be a GM - doing everything from administration to marketing to designing the kit - and how you match professionalism with the passion you have as a fan.
