dinged on the bills are gonna chime, pull out the stopper. We'll have
a wapper. But get me tothe church on time. I don't believe
(00:26):
I just did that. Debbie wouldtalk me into anything. I don't know.
Well that was Ted Robinson singing toout Bethany who got married yesterday to

No One Likes Us Talkings, ourMillll fan show. I'm your host,
Amon Barklay and with me I havethe No One Likes Us Talking Team of
(01:33):
Debbie Julian's Dave Heart and stand Godwin. Not everybody likes them, but they
don't care. Ah, we doreally anyway. Firstly, next week we
will return to a live broadcast.We have Maritime Radio on ninety six point
(01:55):
five FM on Friday at seven pm. Watch out a further information. Okay,
peeps. It was a mill versusStoke City. It was three points.
It was one goal, Debbie,what did you make of it?
Well, firstly, it was expectedafter the Norwich game as that wasn't good
(02:17):
that they come out fighting. Hemade changes. They came out far better.
We had the new fullback Brook Nortoncoffee am I pronouncing it right?
Sounds good for me? Yeah?Goods brought him, brought him in straight
away on loan on Thursday. Straightin is from Arsenal in the place of
(02:40):
Danny mcmamara. Very experienced for ayoung player. We've got a lot of
competition to sign him. Coventry likedhim. He's a local rubber Hide boy,
went to the nautical school as well. The first half it's brilliant.
The second half. State brought onfour subs at halftime, having paid millions
(03:07):
for new players, maybe strong forthe last half hour defended brilliantly and we've
got those three great points at theend. Yeah, yeah, admo in
Macu come on and replaced him,which was interesting. What do you make,
Dave of what you saw? Yeah, I'll totally agree with what Debbie
(03:28):
said. First half was Millwall.Second half was all stoked. To be
fair, I think we were quiteWe rolled down like a bit of times.
And yeah, the new boy NortonCoffee is it be an excellent signing
for us because he's got a lotof talent, that boy, and he's
going to be going places well forArsenal sadly, but we'll make the most
(03:53):
of him while we've got him.That's all we can do. Stay what
was your take said? And Debby'sindicated, really it was a game of
two halms. I mean you knewto start off with that the mill Wall
performance would be a lot better thanit was against Norwich, and in the
first half in particularly, we actuallytook the game to Stoke. Sometimes bothers
(04:15):
me is why can't we do thatall the time? But then in the
second half Stoke with the best wasthe better side. But I was glad
that he's a bit scored his firstleague go at home at the Den.
More I see of him, themore I think he's going to become a
good player once we get over thesort of first half a dozen games where
but once we get through it,I think we're going to be okay.
And yeah, and the goalkeeper andthat savy May was superb. The only
(04:41):
thing one of the things I wouldnotice with Stoke was I mean, and
credit to him ninety five percent ofa time when he was attacking it a
second half and they were putting ballsinto box, they weren't in the air.
They was all on the floor andthey was all the feet and that
swear that people like Stoke, Imean, and I think he brought on
four forwards in the second half cornersand your free kick none and in balls
(05:04):
are in the air, they wasall along the ground. Yeah, they
was getting frustrated in the stake box. In fact, I think he was
the assistant manager who managed to gethimself a yellow card. But that's life
sometimes and throwing your plastic water bottlesabout, well I have to laugh,
but there you go. It wasthree points and be done. Okay.
(05:26):
What did you think about Imaku comingon and slotting into the slot that cuff
he was in. I mean,I think he's an excellent player, and
I think for the time being,I just seeing what he needs to be
doing. He's getting plenty, youknow, as many minutes on the pitch
(05:46):
as he can, and there's goingto be times when he's going to come
more and he's not necessarily going tobe playing in the position that you would
normally expect to be in. Yeah, because he looks a capable player,
could be two feet his balance.He's pretty good. He's got place and
a load of natural enthusiasm. Anyway, Yeah, that's worth a golf Okay
though, I think he's a goodplayer. Well, he got called up
(06:09):
for the under twenty ones for theRepublic of Ireland yesterday, so he'll be
smiling from one side of his earsto the other, I would imagine on
Saturday. Anyway, we'll take abreak there and hear about our sponsor g

they have on the side. Ourfirst guest hails from Yorkshire. His professional
football career began with Barnesley in nineteenseventy five. He then moved for a
sixty thousand pound well to west HamUnited in nineteen seventy six, but in
(08:52):
nineteen seventy ninety headed to Southend Uniteduntil George Graham signed him and fellow shrimper
Dave Cusack for a combined sixty thousandnineteen eighty three. He won promotion from
Division Three with the Lions in eightyfive and was named Player of the year.
In nineteen eighty six, he clockedup one hundred and thirty five appearances
(09:13):
for Millwall's, scoring seventeen goals,until he moved to Yes Crystal Palace after
the eighty five eighty six season.Sadly, after twelve games for the Eagles,
his professional career ended uter injury.Well let's say hello to the man
who could bag a penalty running inon goal around the fullback. Hello Anton
(09:39):
at Gwsky. Hello there women,great to hear. Yeah, fine,
thank you whatever that Hello there,good evening to you. Yeah, Will
So there's a few of you thereisn't there? Yeah, you heard Stan,
Debbie and Dave. But they willreintroduce them to themselves when they ask
(10:03):
a question. But before I beforeI let you off to the panel,
it's great to have beyond the Shawguy. And of course, but I
how did Dave, Cusack and youcome to be a combined transfer to Millwall
from South End? Yeah, it'sit's a bit of a mystery to me.
(10:26):
Where I think the story the storyI heard George used to come down
and watches on. Of course atSouth End of used to play on a
Friday evening, didn't we So andI think he came down a couple of
times allegedly incognito, but was foundout very quickly. And he didn't go
into the directors area or you know, the west stand. He would go
(10:52):
and stand on the terracing and Ithink I don't know how it came about
the obviously like the pair of us, it didn't. It happened for Dave
quite quickly, but it didn't happenfor me straight away. He walked.
We kind of separated on the dealand I went back to South End and
George went back to Millwall, andthen the chairman came. It became involved,
(11:16):
and then I was I then moved, you know, across to South
London. So it wasn't it wasn'ttoo bad. Actually, let's Briarle tell
it was a very similar story whenhe was playing at Older Shot and George
Graham would come along and try tolook incognito. But I mean everyone having
(11:41):
seen George Graham on the telly andeverywhere else, it was very unlikely he
would go unnoticed, wouldn't it.Yeah, yeah, you have to laugh,
but there you go. Well thanksfor that, Debbie him. Yeah,
I actually know George Graham blessed soyeah, I'll have to I'll have
(12:07):
to ask you how he's keeping becauseI often think of him, but I
don't hear any reports about how heis and things he's doing. Okay,
he's doing. Okay. Let mejust ask you a question which really intrigues
me. Is you originally was agymnastic So you made a swap from from
(12:35):
gymnastic to football. Yaw, Imean your balance and everybody else must come
into it. But that's amazing.Yeah, yeah, it was, it
was Yeah, I think, well, I my mum tells me that I
used to stand on my head alot, and just she'd walk into the
(12:56):
sitting room and there I would beon the sofa on my head, and
I think she said, look,I think we need to get I think
she said to my dad and myuncle, who was a big support of
me, said I think we'd betterget into a gym club. So I
went to the gym club and thenit just progressed from there, like a
local gym club, and then toa more established gym gymnastics club in Leeds
(13:20):
and and then I worked my wayup Yorkshire champion several times, Leads champion,
and then then I became an international. But but I think the transition,
even though it really enhanced my footballin my balance, able to roll
(13:45):
out and out of a tackle,my core strength, things like that,
it was and my stretchability kind ofthing. My flexibility was fantastic. I
think when I became more instuted infootball, the it worked parts of the
body did the football then like itkind of it was like antagonistic. It
(14:09):
kind of it competed against, youknow, the stretching. I was trying
to build my muscles up in mylegs as a footballer, but yet trying
to make them flexible as a gymnast. And and I also think I became
a little bit more stiff and notquite as flexible as I got older.
And then I got into my lateteens and I moved away from gymnastics and
(14:31):
focused on on the game. Reallyso so that's how it went. It's
fantastic. Really, Please you did? Yeah, I mean it's really It's
really helped me along the way throughoutmy career and mainly avoided injuries, but
some some you can't avoid, hencemy early retirement. Yes, yes,
(14:54):
how fortunate. Thank you. Okay, pleasure nice talking to you. Okay,
I to this Dave here. Hello, Dave. I'm a it's it's
just great to talk to such anexciting player as yourself, which especially when
you was wearing a Millwall shirt.You know once you once you got on
(15:15):
the ball, you know, thecrowd were really up and you know,
it was absolutely great to watch yourinaction. Anyway, thank you. In
nineteen eighty five we had a agood run in the FA Cup. We
beat Palace in a replay Sellers andthen we beat Chelsea at Stanford Bridge and
(15:35):
beat Leicester at the Den before wehad the the Faithful Night at Kenni Wolf
Road in Luton. Yeah, sowhat were your memories of that Cup run?
Yeah, that's a good question.And I won't concentrates so much on
the Luton game, but the othergames. I I can remember the Chelsea
(16:00):
game, will yeah, let meget let me find the words it was.
It was such an atmosphere we wouldn'tordinarily play in front in front of
such a big crowd, and atsuch a large stadium as well. But
I do remember going out there earlyand warming up and soaking up the atmosphere.
(16:22):
It was an amazing evening and thenthen yeah, we we turned the
tables on them, didn't we Itwas just fantastic. The I do vaguely
remember, you know, after somany years, your memory does start to
fade a little bit. But Ido remember Lester. It was Lester,
(16:44):
wasn't it. Yeah, And Ithink Gary Lineker was playing for Lester at
the time. Yeah, yeah,yeah, so I do remember. I
do remember the games vaguely, butI do remember the Cup run, and
then obviously at Luton then there wasa bit of a a crowd over spill,
wasn't there. I don't know ifyou remember it, but I can
(17:07):
remember. I can remember being beingon the pitch, but but all the
all the supporters were kind of standingon the touchline, and then when the
ball went out, it just hitthe feet of the supporters. So it
was really kind of strange and wehad to almost excuse ourselves if we were
taken a throwing too, you know, to get the ball and throw the
(17:30):
ball in it. It was kindof strange. And then then things took
a turn for the worst, didn'tthey after the game, And I think
there's some some yeah, some clashingup in the stands or something. But
yeah, yeah, I do rememberthat game, particularly because of the but
because of the incidents around it.Really Yeah, I don't know if he
(17:53):
was in that season, but Ican remember a game at the Din when
you picked the ball up in inthe middle of their half and you went
on this amazing run and you musthave beat six players and smacked the ball
in and it it was such aplace. Oh my word, I can't
remember that. It's well, youwas just so balanced on the ball and
(18:18):
nobody could get you. It wasjust magic magic. Thank you. That's
it means a lot, because youknow, when you get to my age,
you don't you don't remember things likethat, and it takes the likes
of yourself to you know, toremind me and kind of prompt me into
that, you know, the playerI was in because you know, I
(18:40):
just kind of fall into inter mediocritywhen you come out of football. And
yeah, but it's lovely to bereminded, right, Thanks for those hands
on, yeah, pleasure. I'mdelighted that you you still remember them and
you've got those fond memories as well. Thank you. Always will. Yeah,
that's us to know anyway, evenand on its fairly mate, I'll
(19:07):
watch a young nineteen year old ladat the den called Edimo Imacu. I
don't know who you're familiar with thename. He's got into the scene anyway,
he's playing school. Remind me ofyou coming down the left end side.
Now, I wanted to ask you, do you think you might have
been as successful in a formation thatplays like five or three at the back,
(19:33):
and maybe I have been a wingback in the modern game. Mhmm,
yeah, that's a really really goodquestion. Personally, No, I
don't think I would have been moreeffective. I'd not, in fact,
because we played the George's way thefourth or two and we're very strict with
(19:55):
that. When I when I didmove across from South End to Millwall,
I do remember on a couple ofoccasions where I would drop into a defensive
role to help the fold back thelevel back, which I think at the
time was David Stride, and Georgeused to say to me, we don't
(20:18):
want you there, you know,we want you attacking, so don't drop
so deep. I suppose that's thatwas the the pattern of my game when
I moved from South End, becausethat's what I was instructed to do there,
and George George freed me. Heyou know, George made me the
player I was, insomuch as youdon't need to be so defensively minded.
(20:42):
Yes, we did at times whenwhen you without the ball you have to
win the ball back, but whenyou with the ball, you keep it.
And that was George's ethos. Really, it was strictly like that.
But going back to your question,I'm not sure. I've never played any
other system other than four four two, so I don't really know how effective
(21:03):
I would be. What I doknow, what George doesn't know about football
is not worth knowing. Because hewas I just couldn't wait to get to
work in the morning. I was. It was I was so hungry,
so thirsty for knowledge about the game, and George, you know, fed
(21:26):
me with that and it was justa remarkable place to be for me.
Anyway. You know, I havenothing but good to say about George.
So you know that that he didreally affect me, and he affected my
career so much. M No,Well, that's interesting, that's interesting,
(21:47):
Mike M I probably haven't answered georgequestion, but I've answered it the best
I can. Oh no, no, I'm no, not really No,
that's for him, because you see, you know you said that, you
know you in all the time youplay, you only ever played in a
four for two, which I supposeat that time was not uncommon, was
(22:10):
it. I mean that was thenorm. Whatever, But where's today?
You can be all over. Youcan play one system one week in something
else the next week. So fairenough. Yeah, thank you. Yeah,
it's Debby here again. And Ispoke to Jeff Burnish today, well
(22:32):
remembered at Mill and so yeah.It also mentioned that when you were actually
exiting, Mill wanted one hundred kfor you and christ Or Palace offered ten
and transferred Tribune or awarded awarded usat millll nineteen k. So there was
(22:57):
Jeff a little bit of contrabut yushanthere, but he did say, what
a fantastic player you are. Bargainof the season by the sounds of it.
I've got this one more question.In six season it's a big chunk
of the season and return in midDecember. Can you remind the listeners what
(23:19):
happened to you that season and howyou return to action? Yeah? Yeah,
it was kind of strange. Ihad I had a knee issue and
it was something to do with mymy knee tendon and it was like youngsters
(23:48):
get these days. It was likea nose good schlatter. So it was
right on the tendon of the knee, and it used to swell and become
inflamed, and so it just neededabsolute, absolute rest. And yeah,
it's it's something I've it was.It was for quite a long time a
(24:08):
mystery and a mystery to George aswell, and he sent me all over
the place to try to get totry to get it sorted and try to
find a remedy. But it actuallyhealed through through just basic rest. I
wasn't working on it as part ofrehab or anything. I was keeping my
(24:30):
upper body strong and things, butbut I just couldn't I couldn't work the
leg. And then yeah, Imean, I think I only played about
twenty twenty odd games that season,and I managed to get the Player of
the Year as well, So thatwas that was amazing, amazing. I
(24:52):
did have questions, but don't worry. I just think that that really amazed
me because I I never thought thatI would manage to get the Player of
the Year with only playing twenty threeor four games something like that. But
it kind of demonstrates to me thatthe Millwall faithful, you know, they
(25:15):
don't forget. And even though Iwas missing for a good chunk, probably
half of the season, you know, I was still I was still remembered
for that contribution I made so andmore a contribution. Yeah, thank you.
I feel overwhelmed with with those lovelywords that everybody's sharing with me tonight.
(25:37):
So yeah, you know, Ihaven't heard things like that for years
and years and years, so soto hear it is, you know,
still well remembered my friend. Yeah, yeah, I mean I have when
I have popped down. I did. I was walking, I was walking
up to my seat. I wasby myself and one of the supporters.
(26:03):
I think he kind of shouted myname, but it was it was a
bit of guesswork, so he said, and he went, well, well
you know, and I turned around. He went, I knew it was
you. I knew it was you, and I mean it's like some ridiculous
you know, forty years gone.And he went, I remembered you,
(26:25):
said, oh my god, hesaid, I'll never forgive you for going
to palace, but I you know, I so lovely to meet you and
took some photographs and things like that, and you know, it's how it
was. I was overwhelmed. It'sjust amazing. The Lions never forget.
Yeah, they don't, that's forsure. I've been invited back a few
(26:47):
more times into the the the IPlounge and you know, doing the kind
of talk, the the interview kindof thing on the microphone with Brian Horne,
that kind of thing. I've donethat a couple of times. I
feel very well. I always feelvery welcomed at the ground. I am
(27:07):
too in his slave here again theirfinal season we played Southampton in the cup.
Yeah, in the top flight atthe time we had a new new
drawer at the Dell and the replayat the at the Den, which we
lost unfortunately. But you know,you the team that you played then,
(27:32):
you had Stevie love All, TeddySherringham, John Fashion, You and yourself.
Youth four players alone would fit inany in Marble. An he would
go in any team today. Butwhat do you remember about those two cup
games against Southampton? Uh? Yeah, I don't remember much about the games,
(27:55):
to be quite honest. But whatI do remember is a bit of
a trick played on me, whichwasn't a particularly nice trick. When we
traveled away and we stayed in thehotel, went back to my to my
room after supper, after evening meal, and my room had been turned upside
(28:17):
down and water was in my shoes. So someone played a bit of a
prank and it wasn't a particularly niceprank. That's what I remember. That's
what I remember about about the day, well, that the day before the
Friday evening. What I do remember, what little I do remember about the
game was I thought, we GeorgeGeorge's kind of ethos around what's about closing
(28:41):
down, but closing down quite highup, but once one person reacts to
closing down, we all should react. And what I do remember about that
game is that we really shut downSouthampton. What they call it these days
is what they call it when it'shigh up the field, kind of high
(29:03):
press. So we were doing kindof a high press, and it really
it really not the Southampton team,and and I think that's why that's why
we contained them, because you knowthat, and we all worked as one,
and that's that was George's you know, repetitive type of training. We
just repeated, repeated, repeated untilit actually sunk in. And then and
(29:26):
we all we all played as one. We were all if one did that
the other one reacted to that,and then we all, you know,
we were all able to kind ofclose down or whatever it was, or
defend and things like that. Itwas just an amazing way that it got
us all to play together. Ican't remember much of the replay, to
(29:48):
be quite honest, and you saidwe we lost. I can't remember what
the score was even, but Iwouldn't imagine it was a very high score
because yeah, I mean, we'rewe're extremely good defensively, aren't we around
that period of time, and Ithink we we we only conceded, you
know, we conceded few goals thatseason throughout I think if I remember right
(30:11):
there. Yeah, yeah, asyou said, talking talking about the defensive
things that that would you would talkto play. That was the way that
he likes to play against the teams, you know. Be really he was
(30:33):
ahead of his time and his ideas. Yeah, yeah, it was.
And not taking anything away from George, but he was well tutored by Terry
Venables when he was at Palace,I think, and George brought that kind
of the Terry Venables way across toSouth London to you know, to us
(30:56):
to Millwall, and yeah, isfascinating and then he took that didn't eat
to the arsenal, and you knowthat's why defensively they were incredible. Yeah,
so yeah, m hmm, hangon span again. You certainly filled
(31:18):
the fans with your pace in school. When we have you yourself, how
would you would you sum up yourtime at the den? Oh wow?
Oh yeah. It's kind of weirdin a way. But been so many
(31:44):
years long gone, but I stillhad dreams about playing football, and I
still have dreams about disguising my injuryand saying to the manager, I'm okay,
I'm okay, you know, I'mall right to play, And so
that that's it's been an ongoing dreamersthat even even up to to day,
(32:06):
you know, to current time.But I was I just I don't know,
it's it's I suppose I can onlytalk in simplistic terms. I just
loved my time. I felt Ifelt loved by the fans. In fact,
there was one fan who who collaredme on my way out after a
(32:30):
game. And I don't know ifhe heard this story. And he was
with his wife and they're all holdingtheir newborn child, and and it was
you know, seen him before,and he was a regular kind of in
the when we came out out ofthe dressing rooms and he just said,
(32:51):
can we have a photograph with thebaby? And I went, of course,
and he just said, we've namedit after you. It's we've named
him Hanton. So I can't tellyou how moved I was to hear that
it was, you know, andI think that kind of epitomizes what I
felt being at the club, withthe club, part of the club,
(33:14):
loved by the club, and andthat and that still continues. And I'm
amazed how you know, I'm justanother player, but how you've never forgotten
and that's just you know, it'sso important, and it feels important to
me that I am not forgotten.And you know, I'm so grateful for
(33:38):
occasions like this where I can actually, you know, express to you what
it what it meant to me,and what it still means to me.
So it's lovely. Thank you,really well, you're absolutely fascinating, fascinating.
I could talk all night about it. I could listen all night at
(33:59):
weekend. Okay, yes, yeah, it would be lovely to catch up
with some of the boys, doyou know what I was also thought that
might be fascinating too whenever you chatto these ex mid ball players to find
out what they did after football,and you know, like what do they
(34:22):
do now? And that that wouldhave been I think it would be an
interesting, you know kind of tohear what people go on to do,
because in my day, you know, you weren't getting paid vast amounts of
money. You still have to youknow, once your left football, you
had to kind of start again basically, and and so you know, so
(34:47):
that's what I had to do.And then I suppose there's lots of others,
but it would be fascinating to hearwhat they went on to do.
And yeah, so yeah, justjust to let you know what I've done
for the last twenty odd years,not as a voluntary as in a voluntary
capacity, not as a paid capacity, but I've I was a Smarritan for
(35:12):
three or four years and then Iwhen I moved up to the Dales,
up to the Yorkshire Dales about twentyodd years ago, I became a volunteer
for Cruise Bereavement. So I've workedwith people who have sadly lost either member
of the family or whatever it mightbe. And as a as a bereavement
counselor. So that's what I've doneand more recently we've just started while about
(35:37):
eighteen months ago we started a prisonproject. So I go into HMP Leads
Only prison on a Tuesday and workedwith the prisoners there with the same thing
you know as a bereavement thing.So and that's absolutely fascinating work as well.
So yeah, I just thought i'dkind of bring me up to date
(35:59):
with what I did as well ason a voluntary basis. Let's fantastic hands
on and as I said, it'sgreat to speak with you again and love
me to hear those London voices thereyou go. We try very hard to
keep them for us all to learna little bit more about you. Thank
you. It was a time thatbrought much change at the then it was
(36:22):
wonderful that you were a big partof it. So thank you, thank
you, and thank you Stan,Debbie and Dave. Thank you very much
for your contributions. Tonight, thankyou before you go, and this is
a tradition, please could you giveus a prediction for Birmingham City versus Millwall
up in bram on Saturday afternoon.I knew they were playing on the second
(36:47):
I was looking at this season whatthey played the one two lost two,
aren't they? And quite a heavydefeat in the reading game. But I
don't know if that was that.Did the player weeker team in that game?
No, not really, but Reddingdid and one they played there under
twenty ones virtually, but they CarabellCup. So yeah, yeah, exactly
(37:10):
who wants that? Anyway? Youcan't even pronounce it sometimes, can you?
So I reckon it's looks like aboard draw, you know, Neil
Neil one one, with the hopethat we might just nick it in the
eighty nine or something like that.That would be lovely, or even the
ninety nights these days. Yeah,you never know. Well we're a draw.
(37:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's We lookforward to hearing from you once again
in on not too distant future.So yeah, I watch out. I'll
get old of you next season.I know where I am. We'll do
a bit more so catch up then, thank you, thank you everyone?
Oh all right, yeah, goodyeah you two? Good night to you
(38:01):
all, thanks any good night,good night. Okay, Now what a
lovely man? What can I say? Hi? Absolutely he is he is.
Anyway, we'll take a break thereand here about concessions for Millwall fans
at Fisher Athletic. Hi, I'mPaul or mill and Fisher if C supporter.
(38:30):
There's always been strong links between ourclubs and such Fisher if C.
Well, like every minds, Millwallseasons to get holders and supporters club members
that entry to watch Fisher. It'sjust a fiver if you show your card
at the gate. I'm your host, Amon Parkland with me. I have
no one likes this chugging team overDebbie Julian's, Dave Heart and stand Godwin.
(38:54):
Can't get to Brahman Saturday, welltry watching Fisher Athletic anyway. Let's
hear from Ellis Barr. I'm Sampressed with a progress and start in senior
school. Now keep us posted onwhat you're up to, Ellis. We
really enjoy it. Hello Ellis hereand I'm glad to be back talking about
(39:17):
Millwall. I know many have watchedmy videos, so you will all know
that I don't wear experience as muchanymore. Thanks for your support along the
way. It is now time tohear what all the Millwall teams are up
to and what is next for GarrionRollets Lions come on there will yeah come
(39:42):
on Millwall. Thanks as always,Ellis. Anyway, I'll call up with
Paul Loading, Millwall Romans and priorgeneral manager. Let's hear what Paul has
to say. Hi everybody, it'sPaul Loading from the Millwall Romans with a
quick up date. Firstly, congratulationsto the Millwall team from last week.
I'm pretty sure I predicted a onenil win, but it's great to get
(40:07):
them get three points on a narrowgame like there. Romans were in action
on Sunday. We had an afternoonkickoff over some pools. Managed to watch
the second half of the Lioness's game. Great result for them. They were
playing some really really nice football thoroughlythoroughly deserves so well done to them.
Our first friendly of the season againsta very very strong Bosco FC. Bosco
(40:30):
set themselves up very well their movement, playing it across the park from left
to right. It was very verydifficult to defend. We set ourselves up
really well, defended really well.I think our tactic was to you know,
not not try and match them interms of the playing style, but
to catch them on the on thecounter, which works works really really well.
(40:54):
We managed to score first with Boscoand then coming back to us at
all and then were nicked a goalto make it two one, Nick's another
goal to make it three one,and then coming back to make it three
two within about the last fifteen minutes, and we replied straight away with a
(41:16):
with our fourth goal which finished agame four three in the end, with
the last kick of the game beinga penalty to them to make it there
to four three. So but asI say, very very strong side,
we defended well and yeah, veryvery happy with everything. This weekend,
it's the first of the LUL season. Four Pride and Romans Pride to kicking
(41:42):
off first. It's a half pasttwelve kickoff against Titan's Heroes with new starts
of the season. They're looking lookinggood. They've got a good squad going
out. Romans are kicking off athalf past two against Soho FC again at
Saint Paul's, so we're both playingat home in the in the brand new
kits as well. If you wantto come over come and watch. Not
(42:04):
going to be an easy game thisweekend. I think burming him away in
the early kick up on Saturday.But to say, I'm pretty sure I
predicted it right last last week butI'm going to stay. I'm gonna say
it's another one nil win to Millwall, nicking another another victory. Yeah,
and well you did get it rightlast week. It was one nail that
he said, so that wasn't toobad at all. And stan Well is
not London Underground Limited League. That'sgot the Landon Unity League written all over
(42:30):
it. Ah And anyway, Oh, Jeff Burneys was in a tiers on
Saturday at Saint Paul's. He hadto contend being in the company of one
Calum Best, son of George,and someone who's a regular on reality TV
programs. Well, I'm sure Jeffstood out with Callum alongside him. But
(42:55):
anyway, he fired a report forMaritime Radio as he always does, following
the mill lion as his game athome Dorking Wanderers Women that is at the
weekend. Let's hear what Jeff hadto say. This is Jeff Furnage reporting
on Millwall Lioness's well. Two goalsfrom legendary center forward Emma Witter gave Norwall
(43:21):
a three one victory over Dorking Wanderersin their first home game of the season.
Manager Keith Bonus was able to selectthree of his key players who were
not quite fit for the draw atSutton last week, in Chloe Burr,
Hope Welsh and Poppy Paine. Healso gave a debut to England College's goalkeeper
(43:43):
Darcy Guy to replace star junior keeperVictoria Committereck. Emma Witter opened a scoring
on thirteen minutes, but Dorking,watched by their chairman Calum Best, leveled
on the half hour with their firstattempt on goal. On forty three minutes,
(44:05):
Shannon Drew scored a brilliant goal intothe top corner to give Lioness's a
halftime lead. The hit would worktwice, but Darcy Guy had to produce
an excellent one handed save to retainthe lead for Millwall. On the hour,
Emma Witter headed home Drew's corner tomake it three one and the lioness
(44:28):
Is never looked in danger of surrenderingthe points. Next Sunday, they traveled
to Saltean United on the South Coast, hoping to maintain their good start to
the season. Well, it's nottoo bad four out of six and considering
they had so many absentees down atSaturn United, I think they'd done thoroughly
(44:50):
well. But the question is forme, Debbie, will you be at
Saltdean on Sunday? I will,indeed, I will, and Jeff will
be obviously kickoffs at two o'clock andSudan if any if people don't know,
it's just outside of Brighton and easyparking, so come along, come along.
(45:15):
So yes, I will be there. We can listen to what Jeff
says about the event, and yeah, I look after him carefully, won't
you. I'll try to, okay, okay, well, next up for
the Lions of Birmingham City away.Now. The last time we played them
away in November twenty two, itwas quite an even game, you may
(45:38):
well remember. We have opportunities forboth sides. Albeit the best chance fell
to the now departed to O Dentstyler Bury when cleared through on goal to
end Neil Neil. In April thisyear we lost by a single goal to
Djokovic. Talking of Djokovic, he'sone of six Blues players used this Their
(46:05):
manager expects to be without this weekendfor our visit to Saint Andrew's. Ethan
Laird's out with a hamstring. SurikiAdembelea is also out with a hamstring and
Tyler Roberts has got a calf.They're rejoined in the treatment room by Joel
Chall who suffered another hamstring ham stringinjury in the first half on Tuesday.
(46:31):
Midfielder Alfie Chang is a long termabsentee with a nine injury. Nonetheless,
it's wonder away to Swansea City andfree wins in the league. Who gets
leads at home? Bristol Away andour Guard. However, they have signed
a Cody Drama from Leeds United,you'll remember who was at Luton last season
(46:57):
and he'll be a striking threat andmay be in the team for tomorrow.
With Djukowich out on the other sideof coin, as we recalled, there
was no news that former mill lyoneBurke had signed for them, and he
apparently was being strongly linked with BirminghamCity. As for us, we've signed
(47:22):
two players on loan on deadline day. Alan Campbell, Scottish international and Premier
League a Luton Town player alongside RyanLongman who comes to us from Whole City.
Longman is a less sided player who'sgot the potential to go up and
(47:42):
down that side, and Campbell isa much admired midfielder. We say goodbye
to Andrews of Olshammer and also GeorgeEvans. Andrews returns to Bundesligue two and
man Evans goes along to the MovieMakers Club Wrexham and we wish those two
(48:07):
all the best. So Longman andpotentially Campbell could be in the mix for
us tomorrow. Well what do wereckon? See Debbie. Birmingham City twelve
thirty kickoff always lively, but theyare on good form. They've got new
(48:30):
owners, bought some new players,stronger than last season. Depends whether we
get the Norwich Millwall or the Stokefirst half Millwall, and I think we're
going to come out with guns offlying. Of course, we've got the
last course of final transfer window ateleven o'clock tonight, so I'm going to
(48:55):
go on the edge of most probablyone all. But then I can't do
that. I have to go andreally be positive and go to one fair
enough. Dave, Yeah, that'sgood. It on and now there.
It's going to be one of thosegames that's going to swing both ways throughout
(49:15):
the game. I think let's justhope that we can just continue this first
half performance. They'll be able togainst Stoke and I'm going to be a
bit braver and I'm going to gofor a three one win to Millwall.
Who well, I mean, Iseem very carefully to all these players that
(49:40):
Birmingham and Mission. You didn't tellus that they've played X amount one free
and whatever it is. See soso clearly these injuries have not put them
off off track too much. Butin saying that, I think we can
win the game on Saturday, andI think we can win the game one,
Neil Lovely, all your predictions andeverybody else's predictions are very positive.
(50:05):

This week saw the release of theMill Community a Trust Summer Camp special podcast
(51:14):
that our colleagues Jeff Burnage, MilesThaunton and Stan Godwin pulled together down at
some Paul's Sports Stadium there in SalterRoad. It's been given some coverage or
maritime radio already with clips being played, and it's out there for you to
listen to, so look out forit on our Facebook, Twitter or ex
(51:38):
site and also on our Instagram site. Anyway, let's hear some of the
pieces that we got from that event. First up is Tim Sells. Hello,
everybody, I'm here with Tim Sells, the football and sports development manager
at the Mill Community Trust. I'mMiles Daunton from the no one actually talking
(51:59):
to him, Tim High, I'mvery good, Miss. Thanks a lot
how are you, Yeah, I'mgood, thanks mate, And tell us
about what you do here and what'shappening here today. Basically, today we've
got our half program running, whichis our holiday activity and food program.
So at the moment, as youcan see, we've got roughly around seventy
kids out there enjoying free activity andmulti sports. Wonderful. And tell us
(52:24):
a bit about the program. Whathas happens The programmer has been designed for
children and families who may struggle duringthe summer to feed or for their children
to go on these activity camps.So we're delighted to receive funding from the
local councils which that allows us torun these programs for free. So the
kids will come down, there arefour hours of physical activity with us,
(52:47):
but they will also get a freehot meal for every child. So yeah,
it's a fantastic program. How muchof an impact does this have on
the kids and not only kids,their parents as well. I think it's
massive, you know, if I'msure you'll speak to some of them later,
but you know, to be ableto provide this service for free is
like unbelievable, especially the areas ofdeprivation that we have around here. So
(53:10):
yes, a massive, massive impact. Thank you very much him focus and
we certainly did speak to quite afew of the participants children and their care
as parents. I'll pop you ontowhat was the last section within the podcast
and next where Jeff spoke to SimonHughes, former Burma's the MP and a
(53:31):
trustee of the mill Community Trust.Well, the thing about the community work
is it's done for the right reasons. Yea more will do this because they
want to do it and it's theright thing to do. But one of
the things that happens as a resultis the reputation of the club in the
area is enhanced because people get toknow where Millwall's heart Rice. I think
(53:54):
I've seen lots of evidence of howMilball was so highly regarded in the area.
One example you mentioned earlier was theRighty Center, which is that's Ian
Wright's project at his old school tournamentin Broccoli. Now I went down there
and we are so welcome there andthe name of Millwall is greatly greatly appreciated
(54:16):
and enhanced in the area by thework that's done here. So thank you
and all the other trustees, Simonfor the work that you do. We
support the team. As you know, we support Sean who's our chief Exective
and his team. We have aparticularly good chief absolutely focused on reaching more
people, on offering our services tomore people, who's absolutely dedicated rounds round.
(54:38):
He's absolutely dedicated round the clock todoing that with his team, and
he's got a various skilled team.We work with him. So with the
support, with the support group,with the people at the back of the
stage who you don't know the namesof they're never famous, but that they
provide the support. And we've donea very good and skilled group of trustees
who I hope Sean feels can givehim some and we're even as we speak,
(55:01):
we're trying to make sure that overthe summer we're getting our local counselors
to come and see what we're doinghere. We've had much more engagement in
the last couple of years with themayors of Southern Collusion. We've had much
more engagement with the counselors in SouthernCollusion, and I think people the word
is getting out and it's not justgetting out locally, even further afield.
We will come into Trust means agood community service in all sorts of ways,
(55:27):
not just in relation to football andnot just within the boundaries of Southern
conlusitions. Fantastic, really, Ithink Simon captured it all there. But
I'm going to ask you in asentence. I mean, I'll start with
you staying, what would you sayI mean in terms of real War,
I mean, the work that theydo is absolutely phenomenal. Some of these
people suddenly questions to War as afootball club, we do that. I
(55:52):
mean, it's absolutely beyond me.I mean, I want every Saturday night
the football and I TV the goalsevery every week. They'll have a piece
on there about what they do intheir community, you know, and obviously
some clubs do a bigger dead otherclub. You know, these community things
that are going to and they're goingto continue to grow and rightfully so.
(56:15):
So you know, that's the wayforward and absolutely nothing wrong with it.
And as I say it, withthese people that questioned it each beyond me.
I just don't understand their thought processat all. Dave in a sentence,
Well, I mean I've been downto the Really Center and seen what
they do the firsthand, and itis just amazing. There's so hands on,
(56:43):
there's some inclusive and as as asan outsider looking in, I can't
see anything wrong with this program becauseit's it's just everything that is needed for
a club like all to do andthey're doing it. Debbie, one sentence.
(57:05):
I don't think I can't get itto one sentence, sorry, because
this is something I really strongly believein those doubters. You know, football
is community, That's what football isall about. That's our core and you
know that's that's where we've come from, that's our roots. And if you're
not looking after the community, it'sunbelievable. I do some work as you
(57:29):
know. I go along with theRoyal Academy and do bits with Kick and
Cook, which is all part ofthe Millwall Community Trust. It's not just
in the local area, is goingdown into Kent as well. It's teaching
these children that there's life beyond ashealthy eating, there's sports that people care.
(57:51):
It's keeping crime off the off thestreets in some cases of what the
Millwall Community Trust do. Maybe weshould all be back in this and we
you'll be back in it with pride. Thanks Derby. I think that sums
it up a treat. Thanks guys, wonderful stuff. Anyway, we'll take
a break there and we'll listening toBphany talking about Sands United. We know
(58:19):
that some men can struggle to talkabout how they're feeling after the death of
a baby. We hope that bybuilding trust and a common bond by playing
together as a team, many morewill be able to break their silence about
baby loss and help others to dothe same. Sandy United FC has already
saved the lives of men left feelingthat they had no one to turn to
in their grief. Are you afather who has lost a child? Talk
(58:43):
to Sad United. They will help. Contact them on SUFC London at gmail
dot com. That's FUFC London atgmail dot com. They will help.
I'm your host, Amon barklay withme. I'm no one likes a talking
team of Debbie Julian's, Dave Hartand Stan Godwin. If you or any

help. Well. We're all lookingforward to the next game, but in

No One Likes Us Talkings, ourMillll fan show. I'm your host,
Amon Barklay and with me I havethe No One Likes Us Talking Team of
(01:33):
Debbie Julian's Dave Heart and stand Godwin. Not everybody likes them, but they
don't care. Ah, we doreally anyway. Firstly, next week we
will return to a live broadcast.We have Maritime Radio on ninety six point
(01:55):
five FM on Friday at seven pm. Watch out a further information. Okay,
peeps. It was a mill versusStoke City. It was three points.
It was one goal, Debbie,what did you make of it?
Well, firstly, it was expectedafter the Norwich game as that wasn't good
(02:17):
that they come out fighting. Hemade changes. They came out far better.
We had the new fullback Brook Nortoncoffee am I pronouncing it right?
Sounds good for me? Yeah?Goods brought him, brought him in straight
away on loan on Thursday. Straightin is from Arsenal in the place of
(02:40):
Danny mcmamara. Very experienced for ayoung player. We've got a lot of
competition to sign him. Coventry likedhim. He's a local rubber Hide boy,
went to the nautical school as well. The first half it's brilliant.
The second half. State brought onfour subs at halftime, having paid millions
(03:07):
for new players, maybe strong forthe last half hour defended brilliantly and we've
got those three great points at theend. Yeah, yeah, admo in
Macu come on and replaced him,which was interesting. What do you make,
Dave of what you saw? Yeah, I'll totally agree with what Debbie
(03:28):
said. First half was Millwall.Second half was all stoked. To be
fair, I think we were quiteWe rolled down like a bit of times.
And yeah, the new boy NortonCoffee is it be an excellent signing
for us because he's got a lotof talent, that boy, and he's
going to be going places well forArsenal sadly, but we'll make the most
(03:53):
of him while we've got him.That's all we can do. Stay what
was your take said? And Debby'sindicated, really it was a game of
two halms. I mean you knewto start off with that the mill Wall
performance would be a lot better thanit was against Norwich, and in the
first half in particularly, we actuallytook the game to Stoke. Sometimes bothers
(04:15):
me is why can't we do thatall the time? But then in the
second half Stoke with the best wasthe better side. But I was glad
that he's a bit scored his firstleague go at home at the Den.
More I see of him, themore I think he's going to become a
good player once we get over thesort of first half a dozen games where
but once we get through it,I think we're going to be okay.
And yeah, and the goalkeeper andthat savy May was superb. The only
(04:41):
thing one of the things I wouldnotice with Stoke was I mean, and
credit to him ninety five percent ofa time when he was attacking it a
second half and they were putting ballsinto box, they weren't in the air.
They was all on the floor andthey was all the feet and that
swear that people like Stoke, Imean, and I think he brought on
four forwards in the second half cornersand your free kick none and in balls
(05:04):
are in the air, they wasall along the ground. Yeah, they
was getting frustrated in the stake box. In fact, I think he was
the assistant manager who managed to gethimself a yellow card. But that's life
sometimes and throwing your plastic water bottlesabout, well I have to laugh,
but there you go. It wasthree points and be done. Okay.
(05:26):
What did you think about Imaku comingon and slotting into the slot that cuff
he was in. I mean,I think he's an excellent player, and
I think for the time being,I just seeing what he needs to be
doing. He's getting plenty, youknow, as many minutes on the pitch
(05:46):
as he can, and there's goingto be times when he's going to come
more and he's not necessarily going tobe playing in the position that you would
normally expect to be in. Yeah, because he looks a capable player,
could be two feet his balance.He's pretty good. He's got place and
a load of natural enthusiasm. Anyway, Yeah, that's worth a golf Okay
though, I think he's a goodplayer. Well, he got called up
(06:09):
for the under twenty ones for theRepublic of Ireland yesterday, so he'll be
smiling from one side of his earsto the other, I would imagine on
Saturday. Anyway, we'll take abreak there and hear about our sponsor g
and M Motors. Hi, thisis just our field from Gina Motors.

football career began with Barnesley in nineteenseventy five. He then moved for a
sixty thousand pound well to west HamUnited in nineteen seventy six, but in
(08:52):
nineteen seventy ninety headed to Southend Uniteduntil George Graham signed him and fellow shrimper
Dave Cusack for a combined sixty thousandnineteen eighty three. He won promotion from
Division Three with the Lions in eightyfive and was named Player of the year.
In nineteen eighty six, he clockedup one hundred and thirty five appearances
(09:13):
for Millwall's, scoring seventeen goals,until he moved to Yes Crystal Palace after
the eighty five eighty six season.Sadly, after twelve games for the Eagles,
his professional career ended uter injury.Well let's say hello to the man
who could bag a penalty running inon goal around the fullback. Hello Anton
(09:39):
at Gwsky. Hello there women,great to hear. Yeah, fine,
thank you whatever that Hello there,good evening to you. Yeah, Will
So there's a few of you thereisn't there? Yeah, you heard Stan,
Debbie and Dave. But they willreintroduce them to themselves when they ask
(10:03):
a question. But before I beforeI let you off to the panel,
it's great to have beyond the Shawguy. And of course, but I
how did Dave, Cusack and youcome to be a combined transfer to Millwall
from South End? Yeah, it'sit's a bit of a mystery to me.
(10:26):
Where I think the story the storyI heard George used to come down
and watches on. Of course atSouth End of used to play on a
Friday evening, didn't we So andI think he came down a couple of
times allegedly incognito, but was foundout very quickly. And he didn't go
into the directors area or you know, the west stand. He would go
(10:52):
and stand on the terracing and Ithink I don't know how it came about
the obviously like the pair of us, it didn't. It happened for Dave
quite quickly, but it didn't happenfor me straight away. He walked.
We kind of separated on the dealand I went back to South End and
George went back to Millwall, andthen the chairman came. It became involved,
(11:16):
and then I was I then moved, you know, across to South
London. So it wasn't it wasn'ttoo bad. Actually, let's Briarle tell
it was a very similar story whenhe was playing at Older Shot and George
Graham would come along and try tolook incognito. But I mean everyone having
(11:41):
seen George Graham on the telly andeverywhere else, it was very unlikely he
would go unnoticed, wouldn't it.Yeah, yeah, you have to laugh,
but there you go. Well thanksfor that, Debbie him. Yeah,
I actually know George Graham blessed soyeah, I'll have to I'll have
(12:07):
to ask you how he's keeping becauseI often think of him, but I
don't hear any reports about how heis and things he's doing. Okay,
he's doing. Okay. Let mejust ask you a question which really intrigues
me. Is you originally was agymnastic So you made a swap from from
(12:35):
gymnastic to football. Yaw, Imean your balance and everybody else must come
into it. But that's amazing.Yeah, yeah, it was, it
was Yeah, I think, well, I my mum tells me that I
used to stand on my head alot, and just she'd walk into the
(12:56):
sitting room and there I would beon the sofa on my head, and
I think she said, look,I think we need to get I think
she said to my dad and myuncle, who was a big support of
me, said I think we'd betterget into a gym club. So I
went to the gym club and thenit just progressed from there, like a
local gym club, and then toa more established gym gymnastics club in Leeds
(13:20):
and and then I worked my wayup Yorkshire champion several times, Leads champion,
and then then I became an international. But but I think the transition,
even though it really enhanced my footballin my balance, able to roll
(13:45):
out and out of a tackle,my core strength, things like that,
it was and my stretchability kind ofthing. My flexibility was fantastic. I
think when I became more instuted infootball, the it worked parts of the
body did the football then like itkind of it was like antagonistic. It
(14:09):
kind of it competed against, youknow, the stretching. I was trying
to build my muscles up in mylegs as a footballer, but yet trying
to make them flexible as a gymnast. And and I also think I became
a little bit more stiff and notquite as flexible as I got older.
And then I got into my lateteens and I moved away from gymnastics and
(14:31):
focused on on the game. Reallyso so that's how it went. It's
fantastic. Really, Please you did? Yeah, I mean it's really It's
really helped me along the way throughoutmy career and mainly avoided injuries, but
some some you can't avoid, hencemy early retirement. Yes, yes,
(14:54):
how fortunate. Thank you. Okay, pleasure nice talking to you. Okay,
I to this Dave here. Hello, Dave. I'm a it's it's
just great to talk to such anexciting player as yourself, which especially when
you was wearing a Millwall shirt.You know once you once you got on
(15:15):
the ball, you know, thecrowd were really up and you know,
it was absolutely great to watch yourinaction. Anyway, thank you. In
nineteen eighty five we had a agood run in the FA Cup. We
beat Palace in a replay Sellers andthen we beat Chelsea at Stanford Bridge and
(15:35):
beat Leicester at the Den before wehad the the Faithful Night at Kenni Wolf
Road in Luton. Yeah, sowhat were your memories of that Cup run?
Yeah, that's a good question.And I won't concentrates so much on
the Luton game, but the othergames. I I can remember the Chelsea
(16:00):
game, will yeah, let meget let me find the words it was.
It was such an atmosphere we wouldn'tordinarily play in front in front of
such a big crowd, and atsuch a large stadium as well. But
I do remember going out there earlyand warming up and soaking up the atmosphere.
(16:22):
It was an amazing evening and thenthen yeah, we we turned the
tables on them, didn't we Itwas just fantastic. The I do vaguely
remember, you know, after somany years, your memory does start to
fade a little bit. But Ido remember Lester. It was Lester,
(16:44):
wasn't it. Yeah, And Ithink Gary Lineker was playing for Lester at
the time. Yeah, yeah,yeah, so I do remember. I
do remember the games vaguely, butI do remember the Cup run, and
then obviously at Luton then there wasa bit of a a crowd over spill,
wasn't there. I don't know ifyou remember it, but I can
(17:07):
remember. I can remember being beingon the pitch, but but all the
all the supporters were kind of standingon the touchline, and then when the
ball went out, it just hitthe feet of the supporters. So it
was really kind of strange and wehad to almost excuse ourselves if we were
taken a throwing too, you know, to get the ball and throw the
(17:30):
ball in it. It was kindof strange. And then then things took
a turn for the worst, didn'tthey after the game, And I think
there's some some yeah, some clashingup in the stands or something. But
yeah, yeah, I do rememberthat game, particularly because of the but
because of the incidents around it.Really Yeah, I don't know if he
(17:53):
was in that season, but Ican remember a game at the Din when
you picked the ball up in inthe middle of their half and you went
on this amazing run and you musthave beat six players and smacked the ball
in and it it was such aplace. Oh my word, I can't
remember that. It's well, youwas just so balanced on the ball and
(18:18):
nobody could get you. It wasjust magic magic. Thank you. That's
it means a lot, because youknow, when you get to my age,
you don't you don't remember things likethat, and it takes the likes
of yourself to you know, toremind me and kind of prompt me into
that, you know, the playerI was in because you know, I
(18:40):
just kind of fall into inter mediocritywhen you come out of football. And
yeah, but it's lovely to bereminded, right, Thanks for those hands
on, yeah, pleasure. I'mdelighted that you you still remember them and
you've got those fond memories as well. Thank you. Always will. Yeah,
that's us to know anyway, evenand on its fairly mate, I'll
(19:07):
watch a young nineteen year old ladat the den called Edimo Imacu. I
don't know who you're familiar with thename. He's got into the scene anyway,
he's playing school. Remind me ofyou coming down the left end side.
Now, I wanted to ask you, do you think you might have
been as successful in a formation thatplays like five or three at the back,
(19:33):
and maybe I have been a wingback in the modern game. Mhmm,
yeah, that's a really really goodquestion. Personally, No, I
don't think I would have been moreeffective. I'd not, in fact,
because we played the George's way thefourth or two and we're very strict with
(19:55):
that. When I when I didmove across from South End to Millwall,
I do remember on a couple ofoccasions where I would drop into a defensive
role to help the fold back thelevel back, which I think at the
time was David Stride, and Georgeused to say to me, we don't
(20:18):
want you there, you know,we want you attacking, so don't drop
so deep. I suppose that's thatwas the the pattern of my game when
I moved from South End, becausethat's what I was instructed to do there,
and George George freed me. Heyou know, George made me the
player I was, insomuch as youdon't need to be so defensively minded.
(20:42):
Yes, we did at times whenwhen you without the ball you have to
win the ball back, but whenyou with the ball, you keep it.
And that was George's ethos. Really, it was strictly like that.
But going back to your question,I'm not sure. I've never played any
other system other than four four two, so I don't really know how effective
(21:03):
I would be. What I doknow, what George doesn't know about football
is not worth knowing. Because hewas I just couldn't wait to get to
work in the morning. I was. It was I was so hungry,
so thirsty for knowledge about the game, and George, you know, fed
(21:26):
me with that and it was justa remarkable place to be for me.
Anyway. You know, I havenothing but good to say about George.
So you know that that he didreally affect me, and he affected my
career so much. M No,Well, that's interesting, that's interesting,
(21:47):
Mike M I probably haven't answered georgequestion, but I've answered it the best
I can. Oh no, no, I'm no, not really No,
that's for him, because you see, you know you said that, you
know you in all the time youplay, you only ever played in a
four for two, which I supposeat that time was not uncommon, was
(22:10):
it. I mean that was thenorm. Whatever, But where's today?
You can be all over. Youcan play one system one week in something
else the next week. So fairenough. Yeah, thank you. Yeah,
it's Debby here again. And Ispoke to Jeff Burnish today, well
(22:32):
remembered at Mill and so yeah.It also mentioned that when you were actually
exiting, Mill wanted one hundred kfor you and christ Or Palace offered ten
and transferred Tribune or awarded awarded usat millll nineteen k. So there was
(22:57):
Jeff a little bit of contrabut yushanthere, but he did say, what
a fantastic player you are. Bargainof the season by the sounds of it.
I've got this one more question.In six season it's a big chunk
of the season and return in midDecember. Can you remind the listeners what
(23:19):
happened to you that season and howyou return to action? Yeah? Yeah,
it was kind of strange. Ihad I had a knee issue and
it was something to do with mymy knee tendon and it was like youngsters
(23:48):
get these days. It was likea nose good schlatter. So it was
right on the tendon of the knee, and it used to swell and become
inflamed, and so it just neededabsolute, absolute rest. And yeah,
it's it's something I've it was.It was for quite a long time a
(24:08):
mystery and a mystery to George aswell, and he sent me all over
the place to try to get totry to get it sorted and try to
find a remedy. But it actuallyhealed through through just basic rest. I
wasn't working on it as part ofrehab or anything. I was keeping my
(24:30):
upper body strong and things, butbut I just couldn't I couldn't work the
leg. And then yeah, Imean, I think I only played about
twenty twenty odd games that season,and I managed to get the Player of
the Year as well, So thatwas that was amazing, amazing. I
(24:52):
did have questions, but don't worry. I just think that that really amazed
me because I I never thought thatI would manage to get the Player of
the Year with only playing twenty threeor four games something like that. But
it kind of demonstrates to me thatthe Millwall faithful, you know, they
(25:15):
don't forget. And even though Iwas missing for a good chunk, probably
half of the season, you know, I was still I was still remembered
for that contribution I made so andmore a contribution. Yeah, thank you.
I feel overwhelmed with with those lovelywords that everybody's sharing with me tonight.
(25:37):
So yeah, you know, Ihaven't heard things like that for years
and years and years, so soto hear it is, you know,
still well remembered my friend. Yeah, yeah, I mean I have when
I have popped down. I did. I was walking, I was walking
up to my seat. I wasby myself and one of the supporters.
(26:03):
I think he kind of shouted myname, but it was it was a
bit of guesswork, so he said, and he went, well, well
you know, and I turned around. He went, I knew it was
you. I knew it was you, and I mean it's like some ridiculous
you know, forty years gone.And he went, I remembered you,
(26:25):
said, oh my god, hesaid, I'll never forgive you for going
to palace, but I you know, I so lovely to meet you and
took some photographs and things like that, and you know, it's how it
was. I was overwhelmed. It'sjust amazing. The Lions never forget.
Yeah, they don't, that's forsure. I've been invited back a few
(26:47):
more times into the the the IPlounge and you know, doing the kind
of talk, the the interview kindof thing on the microphone with Brian Horne,
that kind of thing. I've donethat a couple of times. I
feel very well. I always feelvery welcomed at the ground. I am
(27:07):
too in his slave here again theirfinal season we played Southampton in the cup.
Yeah, in the top flight atthe time we had a new new
drawer at the Dell and the replayat the at the Den, which we
lost unfortunately. But you know,you the team that you played then,
(27:32):
you had Stevie love All, TeddySherringham, John Fashion, You and yourself.
Youth four players alone would fit inany in Marble. An he would
go in any team today. Butwhat do you remember about those two cup
games against Southampton? Uh? Yeah, I don't remember much about the games,
(27:55):
to be quite honest. But whatI do remember is a bit of
a trick played on me, whichwasn't a particularly nice trick. When we
traveled away and we stayed in thehotel, went back to my to my
room after supper, after evening meal, and my room had been turned upside
(28:17):
down and water was in my shoes. So someone played a bit of a
prank and it wasn't a particularly niceprank. That's what I remember. That's
what I remember about about the day, well, that the day before the
Friday evening. What I do remember, what little I do remember about the
game was I thought, we GeorgeGeorge's kind of ethos around what's about closing
(28:41):
down, but closing down quite highup, but once one person reacts to
closing down, we all should react. And what I do remember about that
game is that we really shut downSouthampton. What they call it these days
is what they call it when it'shigh up the field, kind of high
(29:03):
press. So we were doing kindof a high press, and it really
it really not the Southampton team,and and I think that's why that's why
we contained them, because you knowthat, and we all worked as one,
and that's that was George's you know, repetitive type of training. We
just repeated, repeated, repeated untilit actually sunk in. And then and
(29:26):
we all we all played as one. We were all if one did that
the other one reacted to that,and then we all, you know,
we were all able to kind ofclose down or whatever it was, or
defend and things like that. Itwas just an amazing way that it got
us all to play together. Ican't remember much of the replay, to
(29:48):
be quite honest, and you saidwe we lost. I can't remember what
the score was even, but Iwouldn't imagine it was a very high score
because yeah, I mean, we'rewe're extremely good defensively, aren't we around
that period of time, and Ithink we we we only conceded, you
know, we conceded few goals thatseason throughout I think if I remember right
(30:11):
there. Yeah, yeah, asyou said, talking talking about the defensive
things that that would you would talkto play. That was the way that
he likes to play against the teams, you know. Be really he was
(30:33):
ahead of his time and his ideas. Yeah, yeah, it was.
And not taking anything away from George, but he was well tutored by Terry
Venables when he was at Palace,I think, and George brought that kind
of the Terry Venables way across toSouth London to you know, to us
(30:56):
to Millwall, and yeah, isfascinating and then he took that didn't eat
to the arsenal, and you knowthat's why defensively they were incredible. Yeah,
so yeah, m hmm, hangon span again. You certainly filled
(31:18):
the fans with your pace in school. When we have you yourself, how
would you would you sum up yourtime at the den? Oh wow?
Oh yeah. It's kind of weirdin a way. But been so many
(31:44):
years long gone, but I stillhad dreams about playing football, and I
still have dreams about disguising my injuryand saying to the manager, I'm okay,
I'm okay, you know, I'mall right to play, And so
that that's it's been an ongoing dreamersthat even even up to to day,
(32:06):
you know, to current time.But I was I just I don't know,
it's it's I suppose I can onlytalk in simplistic terms. I just
loved my time. I felt Ifelt loved by the fans. In fact,
there was one fan who who collaredme on my way out after a
(32:30):
game. And I don't know ifhe heard this story. And he was
with his wife and they're all holdingtheir newborn child, and and it was
you know, seen him before,and he was a regular kind of in
the when we came out out ofthe dressing rooms and he just said,
(32:51):
can we have a photograph with thebaby? And I went, of course,
and he just said, we've namedit after you. It's we've named
him Hanton. So I can't tellyou how moved I was to hear that
it was, you know, andI think that kind of epitomizes what I
felt being at the club, withthe club, part of the club,
(33:14):
loved by the club, and andthat and that still continues. And I'm
amazed how you know, I'm justanother player, but how you've never forgotten
and that's just you know, it'sso important, and it feels important to
me that I am not forgotten.And you know, I'm so grateful for
(33:38):
occasions like this where I can actually, you know, express to you what
it what it meant to me,and what it still means to me.
So it's lovely. Thank you,really well, you're absolutely fascinating, fascinating.
I could talk all night about it. I could listen all night at
(33:59):
weekend. Okay, yes, yeah, it would be lovely to catch up
with some of the boys, doyou know what I was also thought that
might be fascinating too whenever you chatto these ex mid ball players to find
out what they did after football,and you know, like what do they
(34:22):
do now? And that that wouldhave been I think it would be an
interesting, you know kind of tohear what people go on to do,
because in my day, you know, you weren't getting paid vast amounts of
money. You still have to youknow, once your left football, you
had to kind of start again basically, and and so you know, so
(34:47):
that's what I had to do.And then I suppose there's lots of others,
but it would be fascinating to hearwhat they went on to do.
And yeah, so yeah, justjust to let you know what I've done
for the last twenty odd years,not as a voluntary as in a voluntary
capacity, not as a paid capacity, but I've I was a Smarritan for
(35:12):
three or four years and then Iwhen I moved up to the Dales,
up to the Yorkshire Dales about twentyodd years ago, I became a volunteer
for Cruise Bereavement. So I've workedwith people who have sadly lost either member
of the family or whatever it mightbe. And as a as a bereavement
counselor. So that's what I've doneand more recently we've just started while about
(35:37):
eighteen months ago we started a prisonproject. So I go into HMP Leads
Only prison on a Tuesday and workedwith the prisoners there with the same thing
you know as a bereavement thing.So and that's absolutely fascinating work as well.
So yeah, I just thought i'dkind of bring me up to date
(35:59):
with what I did as well ason a voluntary basis. Let's fantastic hands
on and as I said, it'sgreat to speak with you again and love
me to hear those London voices thereyou go. We try very hard to
keep them for us all to learna little bit more about you. Thank
you. It was a time thatbrought much change at the then it was
(36:22):
wonderful that you were a big partof it. So thank you, thank
you, and thank you Stan,Debbie and Dave. Thank you very much
for your contributions. Tonight, thankyou before you go, and this is
a tradition, please could you giveus a prediction for Birmingham City versus Millwall
up in bram on Saturday afternoon.I knew they were playing on the second
(36:47):
I was looking at this season whatthey played the one two lost two,
aren't they? And quite a heavydefeat in the reading game. But I
don't know if that was that.Did the player weeker team in that game?
No, not really, but Reddingdid and one they played there under
twenty ones virtually, but they CarabellCup. So yeah, yeah, exactly
(37:10):
who wants that? Anyway? Youcan't even pronounce it sometimes, can you?
So I reckon it's looks like aboard draw, you know, Neil
Neil one one, with the hopethat we might just nick it in the
eighty nine or something like that.That would be lovely, or even the
ninety nights these days. Yeah,you never know. Well we're a draw.
(37:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's We lookforward to hearing from you once again
in on not too distant future.So yeah, I watch out. I'll
get old of you next season.I know where I am. We'll do
a bit more so catch up then, thank you, thank you everyone?
Oh all right, yeah, goodyeah you two? Good night to you
(38:01):
all, thanks any good night,good night. Okay, Now what a
lovely man? What can I say? Hi? Absolutely he is he is.
Anyway, we'll take a break thereand here about concessions for Millwall fans
at Fisher Athletic. Hi, I'mPaul or mill and Fisher if C supporter.
(38:30):
There's always been strong links between ourclubs and such Fisher if C.
Well, like every minds, Millwallseasons to get holders and supporters club members
that entry to watch Fisher. It'sjust a fiver if you show your card
at the gate. I'm your host, Amon Parkland with me. I have
no one likes this chugging team overDebbie Julian's, Dave Heart and stand Godwin.
(38:54):
Can't get to Brahman Saturday, welltry watching Fisher Athletic anyway. Let's
hear from Ellis Barr. I'm Sampressed with a progress and start in senior
school. Now keep us posted onwhat you're up to, Ellis. We
really enjoy it. Hello Ellis hereand I'm glad to be back talking about
(39:17):
Millwall. I know many have watchedmy videos, so you will all know
that I don't wear experience as muchanymore. Thanks for your support along the
way. It is now time tohear what all the Millwall teams are up
to and what is next for GarrionRollets Lions come on there will yeah come
(39:42):
on Millwall. Thanks as always,Ellis. Anyway, I'll call up with
Paul Loading, Millwall Romans and priorgeneral manager. Let's hear what Paul has
to say. Hi everybody, it'sPaul Loading from the Millwall Romans with a
quick up date. Firstly, congratulationsto the Millwall team from last week.
I'm pretty sure I predicted a onenil win, but it's great to get
(40:07):
them get three points on a narrowgame like there. Romans were in action
on Sunday. We had an afternoonkickoff over some pools. Managed to watch
the second half of the Lioness's game. Great result for them. They were
playing some really really nice football thoroughlythoroughly deserves so well done to them.
Our first friendly of the season againsta very very strong Bosco FC. Bosco
(40:30):
set themselves up very well their movement, playing it across the park from left
to right. It was very verydifficult to defend. We set ourselves up
really well, defended really well.I think our tactic was to you know,
not not try and match them interms of the playing style, but
to catch them on the on thecounter, which works works really really well.
(40:54):
We managed to score first with Boscoand then coming back to us at
all and then were nicked a goalto make it two one, Nick's another
goal to make it three one,and then coming back to make it three
two within about the last fifteen minutes, and we replied straight away with a
(41:16):
with our fourth goal which finished agame four three in the end, with
the last kick of the game beinga penalty to them to make it there
to four three. So but asI say, very very strong side,
we defended well and yeah, veryvery happy with everything. This weekend,
it's the first of the LUL season. Four Pride and Romans Pride to kicking
(41:42):
off first. It's a half pasttwelve kickoff against Titan's Heroes with new starts
of the season. They're looking lookinggood. They've got a good squad going
out. Romans are kicking off athalf past two against Soho FC again at
Saint Paul's, so we're both playingat home in the in the brand new
kits as well. If you wantto come over come and watch. Not
(42:04):
going to be an easy game thisweekend. I think burming him away in
the early kick up on Saturday.But to say, I'm pretty sure I
predicted it right last last week butI'm going to stay. I'm gonna say
it's another one nil win to Millwall, nicking another another victory. Yeah,
and well you did get it rightlast week. It was one nail that
he said, so that wasn't toobad at all. And stan Well is
not London Underground Limited League. That'sgot the Landon Unity League written all over
(42:30):
it. Ah And anyway, Oh, Jeff Burneys was in a tiers on
Saturday at Saint Paul's. He hadto contend being in the company of one
Calum Best, son of George,and someone who's a regular on reality TV
programs. Well, I'm sure Jeffstood out with Callum alongside him. But
(42:55):
anyway, he fired a report forMaritime Radio as he always does, following
the mill lion as his game athome Dorking Wanderers Women that is at the
weekend. Let's hear what Jeff hadto say. This is Jeff Furnage reporting
on Millwall Lioness's well. Two goalsfrom legendary center forward Emma Witter gave Norwall
(43:21):
a three one victory over Dorking Wanderersin their first home game of the season.
Manager Keith Bonus was able to selectthree of his key players who were
not quite fit for the draw atSutton last week, in Chloe Burr,
Hope Welsh and Poppy Paine. Healso gave a debut to England College's goalkeeper
(43:43):
Darcy Guy to replace star junior keeperVictoria Committereck. Emma Witter opened a scoring
on thirteen minutes, but Dorking,watched by their chairman Calum Best, leveled
on the half hour with their firstattempt on goal. On forty three minutes,
(44:05):
Shannon Drew scored a brilliant goal intothe top corner to give Lioness's a
halftime lead. The hit would worktwice, but Darcy Guy had to produce
an excellent one handed save to retainthe lead for Millwall. On the hour,
Emma Witter headed home Drew's corner tomake it three one and the lioness
(44:28):
Is never looked in danger of surrenderingthe points. Next Sunday, they traveled
to Saltean United on the South Coast, hoping to maintain their good start to
the season. Well, it's nottoo bad four out of six and considering
they had so many absentees down atSaturn United, I think they'd done thoroughly
(44:50):
well. But the question is forme, Debbie, will you be at
Saltdean on Sunday? I will,indeed, I will, and Jeff will
be obviously kickoffs at two o'clock andSudan if any if people don't know,
it's just outside of Brighton and easyparking, so come along, come along.
(45:15):
So yes, I will be there. We can listen to what Jeff
says about the event, and yeah, I look after him carefully, won't
you. I'll try to, okay, okay, well, next up for
the Lions of Birmingham City away.Now. The last time we played them
away in November twenty two, itwas quite an even game, you may
(45:38):
well remember. We have opportunities forboth sides. Albeit the best chance fell
to the now departed to O Dentstyler Bury when cleared through on goal to
end Neil Neil. In April thisyear we lost by a single goal to
Djokovic. Talking of Djokovic, he'sone of six Blues players used this Their
(46:05):
manager expects to be without this weekendfor our visit to Saint Andrew's. Ethan
Laird's out with a hamstring. SurikiAdembelea is also out with a hamstring and
Tyler Roberts has got a calf.They're rejoined in the treatment room by Joel
Chall who suffered another hamstring ham stringinjury in the first half on Tuesday.
(46:31):
Midfielder Alfie Chang is a long termabsentee with a nine injury. Nonetheless,
it's wonder away to Swansea City andfree wins in the league. Who gets
leads at home? Bristol Away andour Guard. However, they have signed
a Cody Drama from Leeds United,you'll remember who was at Luton last season
(46:57):
and he'll be a striking threat andmay be in the team for tomorrow.
With Djukowich out on the other sideof coin, as we recalled, there
was no news that former mill lyoneBurke had signed for them, and he
apparently was being strongly linked with BirminghamCity. As for us, we've signed
(47:22):
two players on loan on deadline day. Alan Campbell, Scottish international and Premier
League a Luton Town player alongside RyanLongman who comes to us from Whole City.
Longman is a less sided player who'sgot the potential to go up and
(47:42):
down that side, and Campbell isa much admired midfielder. We say goodbye
to Andrews of Olshammer and also GeorgeEvans. Andrews returns to Bundesligue two and
man Evans goes along to the MovieMakers Club Wrexham and we wish those two
(48:07):
all the best. So Longman andpotentially Campbell could be in the mix for
us tomorrow. Well what do wereckon? See Debbie. Birmingham City twelve
thirty kickoff always lively, but theyare on good form. They've got new
(48:30):
owners, bought some new players,stronger than last season. Depends whether we
get the Norwich Millwall or the Stokefirst half Millwall, and I think we're
going to come out with guns offlying. Of course, we've got the
last course of final transfer window ateleven o'clock tonight, so I'm going to
(48:55):
go on the edge of most probablyone all. But then I can't do
that. I have to go andreally be positive and go to one fair
enough. Dave, Yeah, that'sgood. It on and now there.
It's going to be one of thosegames that's going to swing both ways throughout
(49:15):
the game. I think let's justhope that we can just continue this first
half performance. They'll be able togainst Stoke and I'm going to be a
bit braver and I'm going to gofor a three one win to Millwall.
Who well, I mean, Iseem very carefully to all these players that
(49:40):
Birmingham and Mission. You didn't tellus that they've played X amount one free
and whatever it is. See soso clearly these injuries have not put them
off off track too much. Butin saying that, I think we can
win the game on Saturday, andI think we can win the game one,
Neil Lovely, all your predictions andeverybody else's predictions are very positive.
(50:05):

This week saw the release of theMill Community a Trust Summer Camp special podcast
(51:14):
that our colleagues Jeff Burnage, MilesThaunton and Stan Godwin pulled together down at
some Paul's Sports Stadium there in SalterRoad. It's been given some coverage or
maritime radio already with clips being played, and it's out there for you to
listen to, so look out forit on our Facebook, Twitter or ex
(51:38):
site and also on our Instagram site. Anyway, let's hear some of the
pieces that we got from that event. First up is Tim Sells. Hello,
everybody, I'm here with Tim Sells, the football and sports development manager
at the Mill Community Trust. I'mMiles Daunton from the no one actually talking
(51:59):
to him, Tim High, I'mvery good, Miss. Thanks a lot
how are you, Yeah, I'mgood, thanks mate, And tell us
about what you do here and what'shappening here today. Basically, today we've
got our half program running, whichis our holiday activity and food program.
So at the moment, as youcan see, we've got roughly around seventy
kids out there enjoying free activity andmulti sports. Wonderful. And tell us
(52:24):
a bit about the program. Whathas happens The programmer has been designed for
children and families who may struggle duringthe summer to feed or for their children
to go on these activity camps.So we're delighted to receive funding from the
local councils which that allows us torun these programs for free. So the
kids will come down, there arefour hours of physical activity with us,
(52:47):
but they will also get a freehot meal for every child. So yeah,
it's a fantastic program. How muchof an impact does this have on
the kids and not only kids,their parents as well. I think it's
massive, you know, if I'msure you'll speak to some of them later,
but you know, to be ableto provide this service for free is
like unbelievable, especially the areas ofdeprivation that we have around here. So
(53:10):
yes, a massive, massive impact. Thank you very much him focus and
we certainly did speak to quite afew of the participants children and their care
as parents. I'll pop you ontowhat was the last section within the podcast
and next where Jeff spoke to SimonHughes, former Burma's the MP and a
(53:31):
trustee of the mill Community Trust.Well, the thing about the community work
is it's done for the right reasons. Yea more will do this because they
want to do it and it's theright thing to do. But one of
the things that happens as a resultis the reputation of the club in the
area is enhanced because people get toknow where Millwall's heart Rice. I think
(53:54):
I've seen lots of evidence of howMilball was so highly regarded in the area.
One example you mentioned earlier was theRighty Center, which is that's Ian
Wright's project at his old school tournamentin Broccoli. Now I went down there
and we are so welcome there andthe name of Millwall is greatly greatly appreciated
(54:16):
and enhanced in the area by thework that's done here. So thank you
and all the other trustees, Simonfor the work that you do. We
support the team. As you know, we support Sean who's our chief Exective
and his team. We have aparticularly good chief absolutely focused on reaching more
people, on offering our services tomore people, who's absolutely dedicated rounds round.
(54:38):
He's absolutely dedicated round the clock todoing that with his team, and
he's got a various skilled team.We work with him. So with the
support, with the support group,with the people at the back of the
stage who you don't know the namesof they're never famous, but that they
provide the support. And we've donea very good and skilled group of trustees
who I hope Sean feels can givehim some and we're even as we speak,
(55:01):
we're trying to make sure that overthe summer we're getting our local counselors
to come and see what we're doinghere. We've had much more engagement in
the last couple of years with themayors of Southern Collusion. We've had much
more engagement with the counselors in SouthernCollusion, and I think people the word
is getting out and it's not justgetting out locally, even further afield.
We will come into Trust means agood community service in all sorts of ways,
(55:27):
not just in relation to football andnot just within the boundaries of Southern
conlusitions. Fantastic, really, Ithink Simon captured it all there. But
I'm going to ask you in asentence. I mean, I'll start with
you staying, what would you sayI mean in terms of real War,
I mean, the work that theydo is absolutely phenomenal. Some of these
people suddenly questions to War as afootball club, we do that. I
(55:52):
mean, it's absolutely beyond me.I mean, I want every Saturday night
the football and I TV the goalsevery every week. They'll have a piece
on there about what they do intheir community, you know, and obviously
some clubs do a bigger dead otherclub. You know, these community things
that are going to and they're goingto continue to grow and rightfully so.
(56:15):
So you know, that's the wayforward and absolutely nothing wrong with it.
And as I say it, withthese people that questioned it each beyond me.
I just don't understand their thought processat all. Dave in a sentence,
Well, I mean I've been downto the Really Center and seen what
they do the firsthand, and itis just amazing. There's so hands on,
(56:43):
there's some inclusive and as as asan outsider looking in, I can't
see anything wrong with this program becauseit's it's just everything that is needed for
a club like all to do andthey're doing it. Debbie, one sentence.
(57:05):
I don't think I can't get itto one sentence, sorry, because
this is something I really strongly believein those doubters. You know, football
is community, That's what football isall about. That's our core and you
know that's that's where we've come from, that's our roots. And if you're
not looking after the community, it'sunbelievable. I do some work as you
(57:29):
know. I go along with theRoyal Academy and do bits with Kick and
Cook, which is all part ofthe Millwall Community Trust. It's not just
in the local area, is goingdown into Kent as well. It's teaching
these children that there's life beyond ashealthy eating, there's sports that people care.
(57:51):
It's keeping crime off the off thestreets in some cases of what the
Millwall Community Trust do. Maybe weshould all be back in this and we
you'll be back in it with pride. Thanks Derby. I think that sums
it up a treat. Thanks guys, wonderful stuff. Anyway, we'll take
a break there and we'll listening toBphany talking about Sands United. We know
(58:19):
that some men can struggle to talkabout how they're feeling after the death of
a baby. We hope that bybuilding trust and a common bond by playing
together as a team, many morewill be able to break their silence about
baby loss and help others to dothe same. Sandy United FC has already
saved the lives of men left feelingthat they had no one to turn to
in their grief. Are you afather who has lost a child? Talk
(58:43):
to Sad United. They will help. Contact them on SUFC London at gmail
dot com. That's FUFC London atgmail dot com. They will help.
I'm your host, Amon barklay withme. I'm no one likes a talking
team of Debbie Julian's, Dave Hartand Stan Godwin. If you or any
