Hello, this is Graham. Welcome to a classic big interview. This time we go back to

season 16. This is what I had to say about it back then.

I used to love watching Jimmy Fludhass about play.

He was a powerful clinical swashbuckling striker who proved himself at the highest level in England with Leeds, Chelsea,

Middlesbrough, plus in Spain with Altetti.

He's now transferred those skills into management with QPR where I think he's steadily building a good reputation.

Harlington which happens to be a recurring character in this series of big interview

podcasts. We talk management,

rondos, English football culture, Van Hal, Danny Blint, Simioni, Valeron,

Antleti and a lot more. A big guy with a big laugh, a big heart and a huge talent I think you're going to love an

hour in the company of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank when not only am I talking to a

football who really made me happy who I enjoyed watching but listeners I'm sorry

Thank you. We've had a couple of laughs before we switch the tape on because we were talking football

And that's the reason that we're here today because I always love the journey

of a specially talented footballer, whether it's somebody who is, you know, gifted with all the technical

skills ever or somebody who said to work hard into being a coach, a manager now.

So if you permit me, before we talk about some of the things that made me excited about your football,
