Former Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and FC Köln legend, Tony Woodcock, shares about his heady days at Nottingham Forest with Brian Clough — the team they called 'The Miracle Men'.
Forest went from Division 2 obscurity to being promoted to the top tier, brushing aside the mighty Liverpool, then immediately winning the Football League and, astonishingly, the European Cup... Twice!
Woodcock and Wocker discuss the hurdles, the achievements and the resulting fame, fandom and its effects. His topsy-turvy relationship with Brian Clough and how whilst at FC Cologne he was followed about by fans and grassed up by the football press.
The two also go into some depth about his time at The Arsenal where he was top scorer 4 years in a row, netting 5 in one match against Aston Villa. And why that extremely talented Arsenal team of 1982-1986 underachieved.
Tony admits to being starstruck on first meeting Dennis Law and, needless to say, there is name dropping a plenty throughout this hour of footballing joy! No one is spared... even Mick Jagger and Britt Ekland join the party.
In this highly entertaining episode of NAME DROP, ME? NEVER!, Sebastian Wocker invites top drummer Jon Moss to discuss his punk and rock'n'roll days with London, The Damned, The Clash, The Edge, Adam & The Ants, Kirsty McColl and current band Ridiculous.
As for Culture Club, Jon drops a few bombshells, spilling the beans about what really happened on his last tour with Boy George & Culture Club and how the band's name and dynamics changed drastically under new management. There is also the widely misreported "£1.75m" out-of-court settlement' that was never paid in full. Might someone have pulled a fast one?
But the podcast kicks off with some hilarious first-hand stories about Paul McCartney, President Obama, Andy Warhol, Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra's manager and others make for some excellent name-dropping. And Jon's favourite drummer may come as a surprise to some!
Basti also relays some corking questions from fans from around the world and Jon shares some pretty weird experiences that pushed the mere fan envelope into the arena of the crazed fanatic!
