Hola Big Interview listeners!

This is the first part of my interview with Super Kevin Phillips, Sunderland legend and winner of the Golden Boot. Or is that the Golden Shoe?

Kevin once out-scored the best strikers in Europe and I was excited to listen to him describe his thought process in front of goal, and his explanation of the art of finishing includes a wonderful quote from the great Jimmy Greaves.

He also takes us back to his younger days playing right back at non-league Baldock Town, an environment which helped prepare him for life as a professional footballer.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

This was another special, fascinating Big Interview. Pat is a wonderful storyteller and brought all of his humour and wit with him when we met in Edinburgh to record this last month.

You will hear about his days at Chelsea and, in particular, the hilarious tale about the night he took team-mate Doug Rougvie to a London rave; his public stance against the racism directed towards some of his team-mates; and why Eden Hazard is not among the elite. Not yet, anyway.

In the second part of my interview with Owen Hargreaves we discuss England’s Golden Generation, a fabulous group of players which included the likes of Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand, and Owen himself.

Big things were expected of that generation of England players but they were unable to triumph at a major finals. Owen talks about the relationships between the players, the tactics employed by the managers, and gives his opinion on why they fell short.

And, of course, we talk more about his time at Bayern Munich and Manchester United. What was the main difference between the clubs? Owen suggests that was probably the way they tackled each other at training.

In the first part of my chat with two-time Champions League winner Owen Hargreaves, we talk about his time at Bayern Munich and what it was like coming through at one of world football’s most celebrated clubs.

You’ll hear stories from Champions League finals – two he played in, one he didn’t – and fascinating accounts of what it was like to go toe-to-toe with Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane. Owen will introduce you to big characters like Stefan Effenberg and Ottmar Hitzfeld, too.

The former footballer also talks about growing up in Canada and why, as a kid, he idolised basketball superstar Michael Jordan. I found this conversation with Owen absolutely fascinating and I’m certain that you will too.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Last week I spent an hour in the company of former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott.

So what did we talk about? Well, you will hear Joleon describe the historic moment when City won the league title in 2012, as well as key players like Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany.

And, thanks to our sponsors Bet365, you will also learn why Louis Saha was the toughest striker he ever faced.

This was a fascinating chat and I guarantee that you will love it, whether you are a City fan or not.

 

But this is only s small part of my chat with Joleon. Our Socios get to listen to this episode in full and ad-free (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and this is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them!
