Let's Be Having You! The 00s Football Podcast

For this episode, we are joined by a dream guest - it's former Coventry City, Southampton and Celtic manager Gordon Strachan!  Part 1 of the podcast came out on Monday, so if you missed it... make sure to go back and listen! Gordon shares all on his time at Coventry City: from working with Big Ron Atkinson to having Noel Whelan as a lodger, and even trying to bring a teenage Andrea Pirlo to Highfield Road! He talks us through his spell at Southampton and gives us his thoughts on Rupert Lowe's bold decision to bring Sir Clive Woodward into football. And of course, we get into his period at Celtic – featuring all the chaos and comedy of trying (and failing) to make sense of Thomas Gravesen! Plus, our inbox is BULGING! We dig into your excellent correspondence… but seriously, was the kick-off of Liverpool's UEFA Cup semi-final against Barcelona really delayed because of Eastenders? If you've got anything at all to contribute, you can email us at: hello@letsbehavingyou.com If you're a member of the QK Fan club - good news! As the QK fan club transitions to LBHY fan club you'll still get access to all the old QK subscriber episodes and you'll be getting monthly special episodes from LBHY as well (which may very well include, Big Ron Manager..)

This week we welcome Quickly Kevin royalty, comedian Tom Parry, to Let's Be Having You to discuss his beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 00s. Wolves had Steve Bull in the 90s BUT this is the decade they finally make it back to the top flight! Tom chats all about the victorious play-off final in 2003 and, of course, possibly the most memorable front of shirt sponsor of the 00s - Doritos! From Dave Jones to Glenn Hoddle to Mick McCarthy - it was a decade of differing styles of play and success. Plus, we delve into your correspondence - did Bolton Wanderers really try to disrupt Dave Challinor's long throw by moving the advertising hoardings close to the pitch in their League Cup semi-final against Tranmere Rovers in 2000?

The first series of Let's Be Having You kicks off with a bang as we're joined by the first 00s winner of the European Golden Shoe (…is it a slip on?) former Sunderland and England striker Kevin Phillips! He explains why his strike partnership with Niall Quinn was so good on and off the pitch - trips to O'Neill's in Durham do play their part. But more importantly than that, we find out Howard Wilkinson's motivational methods - forget imaginary golf, here comes Howard with a bag of stinging nettles! Move over Pep and Mikel… And how did Europe's most lethal striker not get a minute for England at Euro2000? We were always doomed to fail! We also dive into your correspondence, which provides updates on Dream Team's Des Baker and former Aston Villa defender Alpay Özalan. And HUGE NEWS come experience the thrill of Let's Be Having You LIVE at the Clapham Grand on Saturday 12th October 2024 at 6.15pm as we headline the Cheerful Earful podcast festival!
