Former Town midfielder Jason Dozzell - and father of current Blue Andre - features in the latest edition of the Fatherhood podcast.

Dozzell, 49, who these days coaches at the academy, talks about how he has tried to support Andre's talent, growing up without meeting his own dad until he was aged 21, respecting mums and conducting yourself in the world of social media and fame, in addition to some football chat and Norwich-beating nostalgia.

Robin Leeburn, a Town fan, is the man behind the Fatherhood podcast: “I started the podcast as dad of one boy (now five years old) - I wanted to find out what makes good dads tick, portray us dads as real people rather than 'clumsy' or 'grumpy' or 'practical' stereotypes.

“Also I wanted to find ways in which people connect with the experience of being a father with all the responsibilities it brings. Put it this way - we may be dads, but we're still human.”

You can find the Fatherhood podcast here or via iTunes. It is on Facebook here and on Twitter: @fatherhood_pod.
