This episode of My Best Coach with Andy Robertson is produced in partnership with Gillette. In this exclusive interview on The Overlap , Ian Wright sits down with Andy Robertson and former Scotland manager Gordon Strachan, one of the most influential figures in Robertson’s career. Having handed Robertson his Scotland debut, Strachan reflects on Andy’s early years and the determination that drove him from early rejection to becoming a two-time Premier League champion and Champions League winner with Liverpool. Robertson also opens up to Wrighty about his nine-year journey at Anfield, discussing Liverpool’s difficult season, how close he came to joining Spurs, and the relentless demands of playing under former manager Jürgen Klopp. The conversation also turns to the heartbreaking loss of close friend and teammate Diogo Jota.
