Gordon Strachan joins Kammy and Ben this week on the Proper Football Podcast. He reveals just what made Sir Alex Ferguson a managerial genius, why Fergie used to make his Aberdeen players stand in the North Sea when they were injured (and at night when they'd really ticked him off) and why he was often the recipient of the hairdryer. He also recalls Sir Alex’s angry reaction after a Scottish Cup Final win and how he was still giving Gordon digs about it 40 years later.

Elsewhere, he recalls winning the league title with Leeds in 1992, and the second division two years prior with ‘the Dirty Dozen’ and how he angered one of his team-mates so much they threatened to chin him.

Gordon also explains why the name ‘Bratislava’ still gives him nightmares, what it was like to be managed by Jock Stein, the strangest place he was ever asked for an autograph and why the three officials walked off the pitch after HE was shown a red card.

Jack Charlton, Roy Keane and Toto Schillaci are just some of the names dropped this week as former Republic of Ireland defender and manager Mick McCarthy joins Kammy and Ben on the pod.

He recalls what he says was “the best time of his life” as Ireland captain, from shirt swapping with Franco Baresi to gaining an audience with the Pope, and how he and Ruud Gullit effectively decided the result of a match during that memorable tournament. He also talks about his love for Big Jack and why he deserves more acclaim for his achievements in the late 80s and early 90s.

He talks about why he fell out with Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez and how they’re partly to blame for the long-ball tag that followed him throughout his managerial career.

Elsewhere, he answers why he thinks he shouldn’t have left Everton, how Newcastle was the wrong club at the wrong time for him and why he believes the idea that you should always play out from the back is brainwashing...and did you know one of his managers once told his team-mates not to pass him the ball?

Meanwhile, Kammy reveals he’s had a job offer from a top club and is considering it, reminisces about the time he got the better of Big Sam as a manager and recalls how he got the hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson.
