Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Jimmy Bullard from season five.It was back at the start of the pandemic lockdown that I chatted with Jimmy, who was surviving thanks to his love for landscape gardening. This gifted former footballer is now an insightful and ebullient media personality, and he describes signing for boyhood heroes West Ham, the genius of Paulo Di Canio, Pep, Zizou and Juan Román Riquelme, and gives keen analysis about how speed of thought sets the greats apart from the rest.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.

Last Wednesday, at Celtic’s Lennoxtown training complex, I caught up with the mighty Harry Kewell.In part two of our fascinating conversation, we hear how a message from Ange Postecoglou sold Harry on a coaching role at Celtic – despite Ange having once rejected Harry for the Socceroos squad. Harry is brilliant at describing how Ange’s combination of simple messaging and human decency influences his footballers. And Harry himself is no slouch at getting inside players’ heads. Indeed, World Cup star Daizen Maeda said he’s the best educative coach he’s worked with.Also in part two: How Klopp’s Liverpool can come good again. Hosted on Acast.

On Wednesday, at Celtic’s Lennoxtown training complex, I caught up with the mighty Harry Kewell, now a coach for the Glasgow giants.When you think of Harry, you picture a footballer of elegance, intelligence, lethal effectiveness. And the great Leeds United side he played in was his perfect domain, surrounded by formidable talents such as Alan Smith, Lee Bowyer, Gary Kelly, Mark Viduka, Michael Bridges, Robbie Keane, Robbie Fowler and not least David Batty. Yet for all their sophistication, those men would battle it out in training – with regular flare-ups, and be willing to go to war for each other come Saturday.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.
