Episode 182: Brian McClair (Manchester United, Celtic, and Scotland football legend)

Something a bit different for you today… footballer, podcaster – I can’t recommend his Life With Brian podcast highly enough – and one of my childhood heroes, Manchester United, Celtic and Scotland football legend Brian McClair!

We get into the music taste of Eric Cantona, Brian’s punk days, why he regularly lied to Shoot magazine, Gary Pallister’s dalliance with Joy Division, why Bryan Robson thought Brian’s taste in music was weird, that massive scrap with Arsenal’s Nigel Winterburn, the managerial style of Sir Alex Ferguson… all sorts of stuff. Somewhere on the astral plane, my ten year old self is kicking himself that he got to record this episode!
