Classic Big Interview: Ryan Fraser

Here’s another chance to hear my Big Interview with Ryan Fraser from season four.When I caught up with my fellow Aberdonian, life was a beach under Eddie Howe at Bournemouth. Ryan has since moved on to Newcastle United, and perhaps it was fated that Eddie has ended up at St James’ Park, too. We heard how Eddie made his charges better players – and men, and how team-bonding incorporated everything from golf to paddle boarding.Ryan is an incredibly versatile player and is able to analyse the beautiful game with great clarity. He told us about some of his best performances in a Cherries jersey, including defensive heroics against Eden Hazard and the towering Peter Crouch.  Hosted on Acast.

Pedri Forever: The moment and the match that made Xavi call him ‘the best in the world’

Orgasmic football. Sporting Viagra. Against Athletic, Barcelona – and Pedri in particular – provided that special magic that can get a stadium on its feet and make memories that last as long as we do.Here in a new weekly feature on The Big Interview is an audio version of the column I write regularly for ESPN FC. This one is my reaction to a game that made Camp Nou believe in the Xavi rebuild and in the gem at its centre – a 19-year-old we will be talking about for a long time to come.  Hosted on Acast.

Chapi Ferrer: Cruyff’s Dream Team Thirty Years On

Chapi Ferrer was the classy right-back for Johan Cruyff’s ‘Dream Team’ who won Barcelona’s first European Cup in 1992. It was a miracle that Chapi played that famous night – let alone that he efficiently marked Sampdoria legend Roberto Mancini – because he had recently suffered torn cruciate ligaments and gastroenteritis. But the moment he stepped onto the Wembley turf he felt strong and focussed, and history awaited. To cap it off, a few weeks later Chapi won Olympic gold in his beloved Nou Camp.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David Beckham: Big Interview Icon

Welcome to our Big Interview Icons series where we shine a light on a legend whose name has lit up some of the conversations I’ve had with my guests over the years. This episode focuses on David Beckham.When player-assistant at Preston, David Moyes initially didn’t think the young Beckham was strong enough to take on a loan deal from Manchester United. But he was soon filled with admiration for the midfielder’s sheer will to succeed.Sven-Göran Eriksson speaks about the charismatic presence of Beckham when he steps into a room. When he was the Leicester City boss, the Swede asked the superstar to finish his career in the East Midlands – but Victoria soon put the kybosh on that idea!When describing the 1999 Champions League final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, Jamie Carragher argues that Becks’ display that famous night – and his abilities in general – are underrated.Lastly, former president of Real Madrid, Ramon Calderon, gushes with praise for Becks. During his last season in Spain, instead of sulking and biding his time until his move to LA Galaxy, he gave everything for Real, who won the title by a whisker. Hosted on Acast.
