It was the moment the Kop fell for Robertson, and here’s how it was for him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.

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.
