This week John Giles welcomed Jarlath into his home to tell the incredible story of his life, career and journey abroad.
With a refreshing honesty, John opens up about his difficult time at Manchester United (48:00), why he thinks Brian Clough was scared of his players (1:00:00) and how he was criticised for a management style that is similar to that of Pep Guardiola (1:18:00). John also speaks passionately about why he firmly believes that numbers and stats are a complete waste of time in football (Patreon Full Length Version Only).
From the truth behind why he never missed the game in his retirement (1:31:00) to his first meeting with an isolated Eamon Dunphy (29:00), why The Damned United is 'a joke' (58:00) and much, much more, this is one of kind and fun chat with an Irish sporting icon.
