NTFS #140 – A Special Edition Celebrating 20 Years of Not The Footy Show.

Welcome our 20 year celebration edition.

John and Ashley and some of our former co-hosts from yesteryear look back on the past 20 years of Not The Footy Show both on air and as a podcast.

Both pick five of their favourite interviews from the past 20 years and share some ofg the stories behind them that you the listeners would not be aware of.

Ashley’s top five were: Angela Madsen (Full Interview) Sir Roger Bannister the first man to run a sub-four minute mile, (Full Interview) Sam Goodwin, who educated us about the marketing of sport and the mistakes made by many sports in this area. (Podcast 65 ) Lord Coe Olympic champion, politician and now sports administrator, and his final was his childhood hero the great England goalkeeper Gordon Banks who talks about THAT save.

Unfortunately many of John’s top five have been lost when the radio station closed, but they were: Former England cricketer and administrator Sir Alec Bedser who had fond memories of Perth, Dick Johnson the five-time Australian Touring Car Champion and a three-time winner of the Bathurst 1000, Andrew Liddawi who has done so much for adaptive mountain biking, (Listen Here Podcast 71), Kevin Alderton who lost his sight when in the army and then skiied downhill at over 100mph to claim a world record, and finally the man who pursued FIFA for many years to uncover the truth behind the corruption, Andrew Jennings. Unfortunately this is one of the intreviews that we have lost.

There is also a quick look back at some of the changes in sport in the past 20 years.
