Where did he get his hair done?

Him having the same haircut his whole career was very impressive. It never seemed to change length.

 

What was Micky Adams' management like?

The 2001-02 season was such horrid season for the foxes to suffer relegation, despite Peter Taylor being sacked quite early in the season do you believe despite the squad we had then, was their chance of survival with a different manager at the elm?

Yeah get him opening up on this!

 

What was said? Did he take as a personal attack or did he feel he took the brunt for a poor team performance? What did the referee say to him after?

He had a couple bad weeks after this - the Bolton game might have been the next H game in which he made a massive error and there was one at Spurs to a few weeks after.

 

Definitely ask him if the Villa incident shook him up. 

 

But I watched the 03/04 season review a couple weeks back and there's a couple games in which he made great saves to keep us in games (Wolves H, Leeds A as examples) and people forget this because the bad sticks.

What age did he realise he was talented as a keeper? Was he tall at a young age or did he have a growth spurt? What tips would he given to a young aspiring goal keeper?

 

My son's 7 and has a talent between the sticks, he's not the tallest (Kevin Poole gives us hope)

I’m listening on Spotify instead but just refreshed podcasts and still no trace

Honestly no idea then! It’s had 4 listens on Apple Podcasts so it’s beyond my knowledge! 
 

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Just listened to Walker. Another great listen. He was one of my favourite players during that period.

 

A few interesting things I didn't expect though. When you asked about us winning the league and he said about being pleased we went up in the first place under Pearson. These players from this era (late 90s - early 00's) talk about the club, the city, the people so well and it was nice to hear he looks for our results and would like to come back to a game. I hope Birch does bring him out at HT during a game, he contributed to us well during a mainly difficult period (especially 02/03 and even in 03/04 we obviously did deserve to go down but were unlucky at times).

Always rated Rowett but didn't hang around for long.

Callum Davidson did a decent job. Obviously most remembered for the Wise incident but when we won at Preston in 2010 to clinch a play-off place, he was their captain and it was their final home game, he led his team round to clap their fans, ours were still in the ground and we gave him a good ovation and he responded by applauding us.

Yeah I liked Davidson but didn't take to him as much as he was Guppy's replacement and I loved Guppy.

Yeah Rowett and Davidson were decent but only when you compare them to the other garbage he signed, I think Walker was probably the only PL quality player he signed

Yeah I agree.

 

It has genuinely surprised me how fond of the club everyone I have spoken to has been.

Someone did ask me to ask about that incident, I spoke to Walker prior to recording and he asked if we could not.

 

Just so you know I didn’t forget you whoever asked!
