Kieran Trippier is the current captain of Newcastle United and is widely regarded as one of the best English right backs of his generation. As well as winning the La Liga title with Athletic Madrid, Kieran reached the Champions League final with Spurs and scored the opening goal for England in the 2018 World Cup semi-final against Croatia. He has played under some of the finest managers in the game including Diego Simeone, Mauricio Pochettino, Gareth Southgate, Sean Dyche and now Eddie Howe. We spoke to him at St James’s Park as Newcastle close in on possible Champions League qualification.
In this episode Kieran reveals the difficulties which almost made him quit football before a period of development made him into the professional he is today. He recounts the ways in which different managers were able to help him reach the some of the biggest footballing stages in the world, taking us into the dressing room of the Champions League semi-final which saw Tottenham overturn a 3-0 deficit in the second half. He also leans into the darker side of his career, and the effects of the abuse he has suffered online which led him to pursue a career in Spain before returning to the Premier League in 2022.

Wor Tripps, man is a hero!
Neck deep in oil money…
He's worth 160k per week .
The wife's just shouted down the stairs to turn the telly down, the whole house is shaking..volume is only on 6 😂 Canny mic's them hew.
Spurs never really replaced the vacated spot he left, then again Spurs never really replace any vacated spot.
Brilliant podcast, great to hear Trips journey. Goes to show money isn’t everything to these modern footballers like have the population try to make out.
Good Luck Trippier. Him and Ward Prowse are best free kick takers in the Premier League and I can't wait to see his next one go in. KIERON Trippier over the wall. Champions league superstar. He's a grafter. 💪🏆🍀He deserves to win a trophy just got his attitude alone and all he's been through.
How can someone call themselves a fan / supporter and write crap about their own team's players. How is that support? How does that help.
So glad this bloke chose the Toon. Will go down as a Newcastle legend.
⚫️⚪️
Trippier has been so integral in the start of our new journey. Class personified on and off the pitch.. NUFC loves you!
Well done Kieran Trippier, Great interview.
Trippier… Class !!!!
Love tripps he’s been a god send at the toon .. but the Harry Kane stuff .. Harry’s a winner who famously hasn’t won anything 😂
Top player and bloke.
Top class, all of it (this channel, the questions, Trippier..). 🎉
Wanted this team to win cup more than t4, would have cemented them all as club legends, hopefully we can win something with this team as many really have given everything and deserve it
We love you Trips! Top lad, top player. He has spearheaded a new era for us and set an example to the rest of the lads. Champions league next season? Hope so, HWTL!!!❤
It's refreshing to see current players doing these sorts of things and just being a person
Couldn’t of imagined a better man to lead the team into the new era
For me after Alan shearer he is the greatest signing we have bought since I've been following us which is 30 years
Big thanks to Kieran for signing for the toon 👍He's been a brilliant signing and has been a great leader 👍Definitely the best right back we've had at Newcastle.
Brilliant simply brilliant
Lol Harry Kane is a winner , what has he won ff all
Thanks for this Jake if it wasn't for people like you a lot of people would never get to hear these stories
Bumped into his brother down quayside the week he signed..said yous will love it up here..mint lads
Tripper is the kind of player we want at Newcastle, a team player, hardworking & no big ego. The players Eddie Howe has signed have all been like him. We want them to want to play for Newcastle & embrace the passion we have for our club! I honestly believe this is why we’ve been so successful this season!
Trips will be a true Legend 🤛 True Northen Gent
Our captain
For some reason most English players have a hard time adjusting to continental play/life. Dunno why. Trippier was well liked at Atletico, but I can understand why he wanted to go back. But at Atletico will never forget his great performance on March 11, 2020, against Liverpool at Anfield. FORZA KIERAN!!!
What sort of questions are these.
Fkn embarrassing – Pathetic
One of the best players to ever wear a Newcastle united shirt.
Lads, Tripps is Captain on Match Days, Jamaal Lascelles is the Clubs Captain still 👍🏼
Less money 😂😂😂 greedy the lot of you!
Honest, hard working lad. One of very few english players not lost up his own arse. Good guy 👍
Our standard bearer and skipper. When he got asked what his biggest weakness was and he said belief it's actually his age. As great a player as he is and will continue to be for us I think all toon supporters wish he was ages with the likes of Isak and Botman so he could grow with us long-long term. We have to enjoy him all we can while we can.
Re the title….let's all have a whip round ffs
So proud to have this man as my Captain, he has transformed Newcastle and as he says he came not for money but for a new challenge, integrity is everything, i had his cousin as a plasterer on my sites and he was the same, honest, hard working and a great bloke, great family it seems all brought up well and respectful
Trippier seems down to earth and focused – perfect combination for success
This isn’t nothing new we knew about this we he came
what a channel this is the eddie howe one was amazing then this 👏👏👏👏
hahaha got schooled by arsenal. know your self buddy
Tell him to start scoring me fpl points again
