Description

The Second Innings is the journey of Andrew Patterson, known to most as Patto, former Irish cricketer, father, and fine fellow, who was diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, a rare neurological condition that gradually takes away your ability to walk.


He was told he’d need a wheelchair for life.


Instead, he raised £70,000, travelled to the US for pioneering surgery, and taught himself to walk again. Just months later, he completed a 5K.


This podcast is about what it really takes to come back. It’s about persistence, perspective, and the power of keeping going - one determined step at a time.


Because every step really does tell a story.
