This week on More than a Match, we sit down with Oldham Athletic defender Charlie Raglan to hear the incredible story behind his football journey — one that’s anything but typical.
From a childhood spent playing football in Tenerife, to battling through the tough reality of non-league life in England, Charlie opens up about the financial struggles, the near-misses, and the relentless self-belief that kept his dream alive. He reflects on the challenge of adapting back to English football, how close he came to walking away from the game, and what finally led him to the Football League and his current role at Oldham.
This is a story about resilience, grit, and what it really takes to carve out a career in the beautiful game.
