Episode 15:

Incarceration, rehabilitation, and education.

As a teenager, Mike Kinsella was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Jamie Carragher, and David Thompson, under the tutelage of Steve Heighway at Liverpools centre of excellence. After falling out of Liverpool, Mike ended up at Tranmere, via a short stint at Bury. Once more he was training with legends, John Aldridge, Ronnie Moore, Jonny Morrissey, under the watchful eye of the late John King.

You may assume at this point that Mike went on to have a long and successful career as a footballer, but over the next ten to fifteen years of his life, Mike saw the inside of prison cells in three different countries, eventually leaving the prison system for good in 2012.

Since that time, Mike has educated himself, tuned his life around, and is now using his experiences to guide the young boys and girls at the Tranmere development college.

We take a look behind the scenes at what led Mike down a dark path, as well as hearing first hand, what his role entails at Tranmere Rovers.
