Outspoken with White & Jordan
Up Front With Simon Jordan: Paul Ince
On today’s episode, we are joined by a two time Premier League winner with over 50 caps for England.

Paul went on to become a manager, learning his trade at Macclesfield Town and MK Dons before a short stint in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers. In 2022 he joined Reading FC but after a tumultuous spell that featured point deductions, an absent owner and a transfer embargo he left the club last year.
