A unique insight for football fans into what's really going on ...

Barry still owns Leyton Orient's ground, despite selling to an Italian buyer after 19 topsy-turvy years at the club he supported as a boy.

So what does he make of the influx of foreign cash into the British game - and does it matter if investors don't even turn up to games?

When Prince Harry rocked up to the world darts championship the pub game had truly come of age.

But who makes Barry's Top 5 of all-time?

An exclusive insight into what next for Anthony Joshua in this heavyweight episode.

Bazza's take on the fight AJ needs to take next ... IF he chooses to box on.

And the missed catch ... how Matchroom missed out on a deal to transform cricket.

"We've got a limited amount of time, a limited asset, which is our life - and we've all got to maximise the value of our asset.

"Fit it all in. Go for gold every day of your life. Keep smiling. Upset everybody.

"Love a bit of confrontation and just carry on and see what the man upstairs got in mind for you."

The hilarious tale of how Anthony Joshua was floored by a fishing trip to Barry's private pond.

How Hearn turned angling into a global live sport. Plus:

- why he turned down the chance to help horse racing with Bazza's blueprint to save the sport...

Saud and proud - why Barry's had no qualms about doing a controversial deal which will transform boxing - and could finally see AJ and Fury get into the same ring.

How Chris Eubank and Sky saved Matchroom; the British middleweight clashes which everyone wanted to see; and why the tragedy of Michael Watson makes the morality of boxing difficult to defend.

"Matchroom is a billion pound company. It started on the back of Steve Davis. Without him, I wouldn't have done any of this."

How a chance meeting with a future world champion transformed Barry's fortunes - as Britain went snooker loopy.

"It's going to be bigger than golf and tennis within ten years"
