Description
It's the episode Sachin has been dreading but knew he'd eventually have to do - yes, that's right, it's time for a full-on chat about Manchester United. Fortunately for this podcast's Liverpool-supporting host, he is joined by a wonderful guest to do just that - TalkSport presenter Andy Goldstein. Andy is at his warm and funny best as he reflects on following the club that's won the lot and then some, a love affair that started for him in the early 1980s when United weren't actually that good but still did enough to captivate this particular lad from London. Two huge figures in United's history played a role in that - the late, great Sir Matt Busby and Bryan Robson. Andy talks about meeting both men and what it's like to be able to continue spending time with the latter in his capacity as a presenter for MUTV. His take on this is rather sweet – and hilarious.  It's then onto the 1990s and what was a truly golden era for all United fans. Great moments, great players, a great manager and an absurd number of trophies, with the peak undeniably being THAT treble in 1999. Andy can remember exactly where he was and what he felt when Ole Gunnar Solskjær sealed it at the Nou Camp and, not surprisingly, is happy to talk about it at length. He also shares a host of great stories, including the frankly astonishing tale of how he turned down a lift from Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as going through his all-time United XI and giving a truly excellent answer to the final question. So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot.  Cheers!
