Revista de la Liga with Graham Hunter

Hola Big Interview listeners!In part two of my chat with Alan Smith, the Arsenal legend takes us to Copenhagen and Arsenal's famous victory over Parma in the final of the 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup. Alan will recall the famous names among that glittering Italian side - Zola, Asprilla and Brolin to name three - and, of course, his own wonderful, decisive goal.That should have been the crowning moment of his career. But, as Alan will explain, he had by then lost his confidence and was no longer enjoying his football. We talk about why that was. It's an important message.And we also discuss the arrival at Highbury of Ian Wright and why Alan was unable to click with his new team-mate on the pitch, as well as Alan's prominent role in the FIFA computer games.This episode is available ad-free at patreon.com/grahamhunter.

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.This episode is available ad-free at patreon.com/grahamhunter.
