I caught up with Jonathan Northcroft as he prepared for another tournament covering England for The Sunday Times, to talk about how he thinks they have changed since their run to the final four of the 2018 World Cup - an adventure he documented in the book Deadlines and Darts With Dele. Jonathan picked his one to watch from Gareth Southgate's squad and we decided in advance who was going to make it to the final.

Steve Clarke's Coaching Brain: Scotland preview, with Pat Nevin Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

Hola

Welcome to the first of our daily Euro 2020 shows. I spoke to Pat Nevin, the former Chelsea and Scotland winger, about Scotland's chances of getting out of a group containing the Czech Republic, Croatia and England. Pat is a former teammate and close friend of Steve Clarke, and I think you'll love his insights into the Scotland boss.

Pat also has a brilliant autobiography out, The Accidental Footballer, which makes for great summer reading.

On Saturday, Ilkay Gundogan hopes to line up for Manchester City against Chelsea in the Champions League final - and it's a tournament that he loves - well, as much as I do. He explains it in this interview -from childhood nights in a crowded living room with his family, watching on the television; to tough early experiences and then a run to the final with Klopp's Dortmund.

Brian Laudrup: Denmark 1992 – Football’s Greatest Fairy Tale Part Two May 06, 2021

Show notes

In part two of my uplifting interview with Brian Laudrup, we get into the detail of Denmark’s Euro ’92 fairy tale.

A disappointing draw with England was followed by defeat to hosts Sweden and the Danes prepared to pack their bags. But a star-studded France team underestimated Laudrup and Co, who clinched a semi-final place against the Netherlands. The Dutch were the competition’s most fancied side, featuring talents such as Rijkaard, Bergkamp and Van Basten. Yet Denmark won a penalty shoot-out to face Germany in the final in Gothenburg where Peter Schmeichel was a hero between the sticks and John Jensen scored an unlikely beauty. Perhaps Destiny also played her part for the Danes that summer.

The lesson, friends, is to never stop believing.

Graham
