West Ham's all time Premier League record goalscorer Michael Antonio joins talkSPORT's Ben Jacobs for a special sit-down on the talkSPORT Daily Podcast. Michael opens up on how he's dealt with recovering from a car crash in late 2024 that shattered his entire femur. He disusses how tough it's been to find a club in the UK since the crash and the sheer number of injuries he's had to overcome throughout the process. It's not all doom and gloom though, as Michael also explains how the crash has helped him to fall back in love in football and how he's enjoying is time in Qatat at Al Sailiyah. PLUS he discusses West Ham's relegation battle and reveals whether he thinks they'll stay up. Photo Credit: Getty Images Produced by: Daniel Kane Edited by: Daniel Kane Hosted on Acast.
