Ross Halls caught up with former Ipswich Town defender Drissa Diallo to discuss his time at Portman Road, career as a whole and where he is now in our Kings of Anglia podcast special.
Drissa spoke about a range of memories, including his early life in France, first steps in football and moving to Belgium to play.
He chats about coming over to England for trials, signing for Burnley and impressing on his debut against Town which led Joe Royle to sign him in the summer of 2003.
The duo discuss his time with the Blues from being the first signing after Town came out of administration, injury set-backs, play-off defeats, throw ins, red cards and life in Suffolk.
Overall, Diallo made 49 appearances during his two seasons at Town.
The former Guinea international chatted about his other spells in England, before how he became a scout and his current role at Monaco.

536: Kings of Anglia: Why Town will beat Arsenal and stay up, plus some exciting player values
Alex Jones, Ross Halls and Mark Heath are back with a light-hearted podcast ahead of Town’s big clash with Champions League semi-finalists Arsenal on Sunday.
After we meet Rossi’s interestingly-named cats, Alex explains how the Blues will stay up at the expense of West Ham via some well-argued and very serious scenarios.
Then we discuss player values, with eight of Town’s players apparently worth £10m or more - the boys try to guess those, plus the three worth less than £1m.
Then it’s onto to agents fees, the clash with Arsenal, our rather positive predictions and a bit of FPL.

Mark Heath heads to Portman Road for the first press conference following the announcement of Fabio Wardley’s historic fight against Jarrell Miller at the home of Ipswich Town on June 7th.
