Keith Gillespie: Part 2 | Newcastle | Sticker No. 350 | 1997

Keith has been afforded the ultimate honour: a 'part two’ episode on Searching For Shineys. The ultimate recognition that he was a legendary player and an extremely likeable interviewee. In this second 45 minute (plus added time) podcast we discuss the 1996-97 season at Newcastle specifically, including the arrival of Alan Shearer for a then World Record fee. Keith then talks us through the trauma of almost signing for Middlesbrough and relegations suffered at Blackburn and Sheffield United. He also touches upon his time playing for Northern Ireland and discusses the issue of gambling in football.Remember to follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @TheShineyPod.

Om Podcasten

A podcast series in which two old uni friends, Matt Ketchell and Richie Wyatt, attempt to track down and interview as many footballers who featured in the 1997 Merlin Premier League sticker book as they can find. The pair ask players questions football fans have always wanted the answers to, take a nostalgic dribble through the playing career of their guest and stop to focus on the 1996/97 Premier League campaign, a period widely regarded as British football’s sweet spot.  Hosted on Acast.
