Joe Wilkinson always wanted a professional footballer as a mate. Fortunately for him, Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is prepared to find out if the pair can really become true friends.
So that he can become a proper mate and understand what challenges Pat faces, Joe, the lifelong Gillingham supporter, finds out what it takes to play the game at the highest level from the footballer himself.
In weekly instalments, the series gives an alternative insight into the world of football, with Pat answering any question Joe thinks of. Listeners can expect stories from inside the dressing room at a professional football club, as the two hosts get to know each other.
