Scott McTominay left a struggling Manchester United to become Serie A's Most Valuable Player, win the Scudetto for Napoli and be nominated for the Ballon D'Or - all in one year. Was he this good all along? Is he finally getting the respect he always deserved?This episode of Football Daily, hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter Eugene Noble, goes right back to the start of Scott McTominay's incredible story and explores the making of McTominay: How he grew from the Man Utd academy, to being taken under the wing of José Mourinho and performing on the international stage.We speak to the likes of Paul McGuinness and James Weir, coaches and players who knew him at the academy, as well as podcasters, pundits and fans such as Jay Motty, Joe Fischetti and Umberto Bernardo, who have tracked his career from Old Trafford to the Neapolitan sun.We also hear from football journalist Mina Rzouki about how Scott has transformed under Antonio Conte, as well as Scottish Legend and commentator Pat Nevin about how he is becoming a symbol for the nation in the blue shirt of Scotland. We even speak to Scotland head coach Steve Clarke about Scott's crucial role to the international team and a conversation that sparked Scott's career back into life.In 2026, McTominay is facing his biggest season yet: Napoli have a title to defend. They're back in the Champions League. And Scotland will attend their first World Cup since 1998. So, the question isn't just how Scott McTominay got here - it's how much higher can he go?

It was a mixed night for English sides in the Champions League as Chelsea beat Barcelona, while Manchester City and Newcastle both lost.Kelly Cates has all the reaction and is joined by BBC Senior Football Reporter Ian Dennis, former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin and ex-Man City midfielder Michael Brown.They start at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea dominated 10-man Barca.

Scott McTominay left a struggling Man United to become Serie A's Most Valuable Player, win the Scudetto for Napoli and be nominated for the Ballon D'Or - all in one year. Was he this good all along? Is he finally getting the respect he always deserved? This episode of Football Daily, hosted by football writer and Copa 90 presenter Eugene Noble, goes right back to the start of Scott's incredible story and explores the making of McTominay: How he grew from the Man Utd academy, to being taken under José Mourinho's wing, to performing on the international stage. We speak to coaches and players who knew him at the academy, like Paul McGuinness and James Weir, as well as podcasters, pundits and fans like Jay Motty, Joe Fischetti and Umberto Bernardo, who have tracked his career from Old Trafford to the Neapolitan sun. We also hear from football journalists like Mina Rzouki about how Scott has transformed under Antonio Conte, as well as Scottish Legend and commentator Pat Nevin about how he is becoming a symbol for the nation in the blue shirt of Scotland. We even speak to Scotland head coach Steve Clarke about Scott's crucial role to the international team and a conversation that sparked Scott's career back into life. In 2026, McTominay is facing his biggest season yet: Napoli have a title to defend. They're back in the champions league. And Scotland have their world cup qualifier campaign already underway. So the question isn't just how Scott McTominay got here - it's how much higher can he go?

The BBC Radio 5 show Great Football Songbook, hosted by Colin Murray and Pat Nevin, welcomed Billy Grant from Beesotted for an in-depth look at the stories behind Brentford's most iconic chants.The episode spent a while talking about the legendary Chomp bar story (read the tale here) – a quirky tradition from the terraces where fans famously threw Chomp chocolate bars onto the pitch celebrating a goal, a playful and chaotic moment that perfectly captured the fun-loving spirit of the Bees' supporters. Billy went into great detail, exploring how this cheap sweet treat became a symbol of terrace mischief and fan camaraderie.But the show wasn't just about songs. Billy also reflected on the character of Brentford as a club. For years, the Bees languished in the lower leagues, often producing middling football. Yet, rather than being a hindrance, this shaped a unique club identity. Matchday activities, terrace rituals, and writing original, tongue-in-cheek songs became central to the fan experience — almost a form of gallows humour that allowed supporters to revel in their passion despite modest results on the pitch.Among the highlights discussed were the origins of “Hey Jude” in the terraces, the curious tale of the “Bus Stop in Hounslow”, and the legendary “Bees Up Fulham Down”. Billy also paid homage to Brentford heroes like Danny Boxhall, explaining why he remains the greatest full-back in the club's history.Through it all, the episode painted a vivid picture of how Brentford fans, and their songs, have helped define the club's personality — proving that football culture is often as much about the terraces as it is about the pitch.The full episode is available to listen back on BBC Sounds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
