S1 E13 Rory Delap

Rory Delap’s name will forever echo around Pride Park for one reason—that throw. But behind the folklore is a story of resilience, reinvention, and a career built on far more than a single superpower.

In this episode, Rory sits down with us to reflect on the journey that shaped him: the early days at Carlisle, the Premier League years that tested his limits, the pride of representing Ireland on the biggest stage, and the unexpected way a throw‑in changed the trajectory of his life. He talks candidly about the highs, the setbacks, the managers who pushed him, and the moments that still stay with him now he’s on the other side of the white line.

This is Rory Delap as you’ve never heard him—thoughtful, funny, grounded, and full of the kind of insight only a man who’s lived every corner of the game can offer.

A Derby County cult hero. A Premier League survivor. A coach still shaping the next generation.

And yes… we talk about the throw.
