The start of a new week with the North East Footy Brekky team. There's only Steve with a spring in his step following the Geordie's impressive win and Boro and Sunderland's dismal defensive displays. At least Ted brings a smile with his 'What The Fact' - do you know what the solution is ?

Join top Journalist Ian Murtagh talk about all things North East football with his very special guests: former Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Liverpool legend David Hodgson and The Northern Echo's Chief Sports Writer Scott Wilson.

Join legends Craig Hignett, Lee Clark and Darren Williams as they discuss FFP, the international break and an exciting weekend for our big three clubs.

Football is almost back and thankfully so is Ted! Join the NE Footy Brekky Lads as they finish off the week with the best banter and chat about our big three teams and Ted's helium messages.

Ex-Boro striker Chris Freestone joins Andy Campbell to discuss his time at the Riverside, being an up-and-coming striker with the likes of Fabrizio Ravanelli, Jan Aage Fjortoft and Mikkel Beck in the camp.

Ted's again in the cellar but still manages to say Steve's his favourite, which Steve likes of course. And, the tables are turned on Ry, how will the Aussie Boro fan do on 5 humdingers about his beloved club. 

Ry's back and don't we know it! He immediately puts the lads to the test over their fave club history. Who will come out on top? NE Brekky is also joined by cartoonist extraordinaire and big Boro fan Graeme Bandeira - who kicks off a real love in! 

The truth about Ted comes out from his old Sunday morning football manger. Steve asks will the Premier League have big enough balls to take on any 'big club' FFP wrongdoers and Dave simply has a mare with his cold. 

Ted's back and willingly reading SAFC news as he releases What the Fact on the unsuspecting North East. Steve enjoys a musical tribute to The Toon, Ry's battling an almighty storm and Dave, well, he's just getting the p*** taken out of him.

North East based Fleet Street football writer Ian Murtagh welcomes NUFC fan David Williams and The Sun's Manchester City writer Martin Blackburn to his show.
