  • Manchester United's relegation battle of early 1990

    Manchester United's relegation battle of early 1990
    Oct 20 2026

    In 1990, Alex Ferguson was under such pressure that it was speculated he may be sacked if the team lost in the FA Cup to Nottingham Forest. They won, of course. But the team remained in poor form in the league, and, for a spell, the topic of relegation was one the club had to seriously confront.

  • Tommy Cavanagh and Mick Brown on their time at United

    Tommy Cavanagh and Mick Brown on their time at United
    Oct 16 2026

    It is not very often that we get to hear the voices of the coaches from yesteryear. The club have got better at it - for example, we have heard plenty from Eric Harrison, Tony Whelan, Paul McGuinness and Rene Meulensteen. But go back a bit further and it's difficult to get content of some of the coaches we know the names of. This episode corrects some of that, and brings a couple of interviews from Tommy Cavanagh and Mick Brown, assistants to Tommy Docherty and Ron Atkinson respectively. Sammy McIlroy, who worked under both with differing relationships, listens back with Wayne Barton.

    When George Best thought he was a jinx to Man Utd
    Oct 13 2026

    You may be familiar with the story of George Best leaving the 1999 Champions League final early. This episode digs into some older interviews and reveals that perhaps the reason for that was that the legendary former player believed he was a bad luck omen.
