Former Irish FA President and Fifa Vice President Jim Boyce joins presenter Keith Bailie and Chief Sports Writer Steven Beacom in the studio for the latest episode of BelTel Football. The Cliftonville patron explain why he believes it was a major mistake not to build a new multi-sport stadium at the Maze during his time in office. He believes the planned 40,000-seater arena would have been the perfect venue for Euro 2028 and avoid the Casement Park controversary. Jim also reflects on his time as Fifa Vice President and his friendship with controversial leader Sepp Blatter. The lifelong Cliftonville supporter also pays tribute to Reds defender Michael Newberry who died suddenly in late December.
