Episode 2 of Life After The Rams features one of the most extraordinary stories ever connected to Derby County. Mark O’Brien joins us to talk with raw honesty about the routine medical that uncovered a life‑threatening heart condition, the moment a doctor told him he had less than 24 hours to live, and the fear of closing his eyes in case he didn’t wake up.

Mark reflects on arriving at Derby as a teenager, rebuilding himself from scratch after surgery, and the identity crisis that followed retirement. He explains how football became both his escape and the thing that broke him when it was taken away, and why he now helps young players understand how fragile a career can be.
