Glen Little Interview


By Christian Brookes
July 31 2014

Twenty years after his breakthrough in football, one-time Premier League winger Glen Little is anticipating another new season as a player, but it only seems right that he stays true to that flavour of the old school.

A man of a clutch of different clubs over the course of his career, it is his seven years at Burnley and his four at Reading that Glen is most closely associated with. The Wimbledon-born wideman played in the Premier League with Bolton Wanderers (loan), Reading and Portsmouth, and also featured in the UEFA Cup with the latter.

The former Crystal Palace youth player was adored by Burnley fans and his creative supply was pivotal as Reading set a record point tally of 106 to win promotion to the top flight in 2006. The close control and dribbling ability in his armoury provided sheer vintage entertainment for spectators and his music taste also has its classic element.

“I’m a hip-hop and r&b fan. I grew up listening to N.W.A. and Public Enemy, real old school, but I also like bands like R.E.M., Green Day, the Killers, the Libertines.

“I like all sorts really, just not house or garage. The first record I bought was N.W.A. ‘Straight Outta Compton’.

“I’ve been to Reading Festival and I saw Red Hot Chili Peppers. I’m not really a fan of Ibiza.”

Glen Little interview: Full-back Enemy No. 1 – Clarets and Royals favourite keeps it classic

Twenty years after his breakthrough in football, one-time Premier League winger Glen Little is anticipating another new season as a player, but it only seems right that he stays true to that flavour of the old school.

I was about to post this. This is my interview from my site where I talk to players about music, teammates and their career. I shared my Scott Arfield / Ade Akinbiyi interviews a few months ago on here.

Hope you like this one anyway! Glen Little interview: Full-back Enemy No. 1
