The Big Interview

Hola Big Interview listeners!

When I sat down to chat with Alan Smith during the launch of his autobiography Heads Up we talked Arsenal icons, a title win and triumph in a European Cup final. It was so good that I have split the whole interview into two parts.

So, in Part One, you will learn about George Graham, a title-winning coach at Arsenal and a man feared by many of his players. You’ll hear about his laborious training methods and hair-raising team talks.

And Alan also relives his goal at Anfield which helped steal the league title away from a formidable Liverpool side in 1989. It is a game which he describes as the most iconic in English football history.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

So, last week I received questions from our Socios about this season’s Champions League campaign. Today, I give my answers.

I will give my reasons why Real Madrid cannot be written off despite the loss of their talismanic forward. And what of Cristiano Ronaldo? Can he conquer Europe with Juventus this season? I give my verdict here.

I also take a closer look at some challenging groups – listen up Manchester United fans – and give my views on Atletico Madrid and whether they can reach the final at their home stadium.

And listen out for the question from Bet365 about who to back to lift the trophy this season.

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Welcome back for part two of my chat with Spurs legend Ledley King. You are about to hear all about his time at White Hart Lane – his team-mates, managers and, of course, those captivating London derbies under the lights.

We begin by being introduced to Edgar Davids, who proved to Ledley that he was a born winner. And Ledley also describes how Juande Ramos ordered his Spurs players to lose weight … well, almost all of them.

You will also hear about matches against Chelsea and Arsenal. Facing Spurs’ biggest rivals were huge moments in Ledley’s career and he describes those pulsating games brilliantly.

This is a truly fascinating, enjoyable interview. Our Socios got to listen to it first in full and ad-free (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them. This month they got to listen to former United striker Brian McClair!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

By now Ledley King must be sick of talking about the injuries that shortened his career. Instead this Big Interview is about where he came from: the neighbourhood, the people, the places he learned to play football.

You will hear about Ledley’s school team rivalry with Ashley Cole, his neighbour growing up, and how a small boy called John Terry used to boss his Sunday League youth team around – as a midfielder!

And, of course, Ledley discusses the type of defending which made him a Spurs legend and one of the greatest defenders the Premier League has ever seen.

This is a truly fascinating, enjoyable interview. It is available exclusively to our Socios (there are over 700 of them now, and you can join the party by clicking here) and is just one of the podcasts we have been producing for them. Last month they got to listen to former United midfielder Quinton Fortune!

Hola Big Interview listeners!

Boy, what a treat this Big Interview is! Let me introduce you to former Manchester United forward Brian McClair.

Brian is a wonderfully dry, witty storyteller, and he will take you behind-the-scenes at Old Trafford – his old stomping ground – and describe what it was like to train and play alongside Eric Cantona. Brian will also reveal the painful pranks Sir Alex Ferguson used to pull on his players.

And from past greats to United players of the present, Brian will explain why he was certain Jesse Lingard had the makings of a professional footballer at age eight.

You’ll also hear Brian’s stories about celebrated coaches of the past like Jock Stein and Bill Shankly.
