Donys Quintero | The UNprofessional Footballer Podcast #15

⚽ Hosted by Danny de Abela-Borg and joined by Venezuelan Footballer Donys Quintero. Episode 15 follows the career of The UNprofessional Fives star 'Twinkle Toes✨', and how he went from a promising young star in Venezuela to out of contract, and out of football, in Colombia—before deciding to risk everything by moving to Malta without a contract in place to begin a new life and continue chasing his dream of becoming a professional footballer in Europe's top leagues. Donys' journey wasn't easy, and we discuss his work permit issues which saw him miss a key period on the field when he was hitting top form mid-season at Fgura United FC as well as his dream transfer to Maltese giants Valletta FC before realising the deal wasn't as sweet as it originally looked.

The UNprofessional Footballer Podcast is a dive into the unglamorous side of the beautiful game. While Pros and Ex-Pros are currently beginning to shine a light on what life is actually like for a player at the top of the professional pyramid, this podcast is specifically designed to uncover the trials, tribulations, and day-to-day life of players clawing their way up from the bottom.
