On this edition of Behind The Badge we had the pleasure of speaking to the former Oxford United manager Brian Horton.

'Nobby' is one of the most experienced men to ever grace the game with over 2,000 matches in professional football as a player, manager and assistant manager.

He kept United in Division Two (now the Championship) against all the odds during a turbulent time off the pitch, but on it the U's were bringing through fantastic young players and selling on the likes of Paul Simpson, Mark Stein and Andy Melville for huge profits.

Brian’s relationship with Kevin Maxwell is well documented throughout and he recalls the day he was famously asked to succeed his good friend Mark Lawrenson as manager.

We also hear about numerous other interesting parts of Brian's long career in football. It's a fascinating listen!
