Summary

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Terry Gibson from season three.

I know Terry well from covering Spanish football over the years, and I find him to be one of the most engaging, funny and astute analysts of the game.

He recounts honestly what it felt like to depart Tottenham, the club he has always loved and who he felt had treated him shabbily. There’s great stuff about his only career hat-trick – for Coventry against the mighty Liverpool, and just how lax Ron Atkinson’s regime was at Manchester United. Alex Ferguson was the new broom and Terry and Fergie soon fell out. Terry withdrew his initial threat to quit football, telling the great manager: I’ll be back to score against you and to win a trophy. He made good on both promises, and the second one was fulfilled when Wimbledon lifted the 1988 FA Cup.

Take it away, Terry.

0:17.4	Welcome to a classic big interview. This is where we dig into the vaults and choose an episode from the early days of the show. This time we've gone all the way back

1:02.4	Britain. You listen to him talking about
1:04.4	La Liga in his co-conventries and you will learn he's consistently articulate
1:09.3	bright-eyed and worth listening to. But it wasn't for friendship or analysis that I chose him.
1:16.4	Terry had a smashing career. Brilliantly talented man. He coped with the ups and downs and
1:22.2	he speaks honestly about how it felt to leave the club that he's always supported.
1:25.6	In fact, he's always loved.
1:26.9	Sperse.
1:27.9	Terry is always very, very funny, but there's still frustration in his voice as he recounts a
1:33.7	trying time at Manchester United under Ron Atkinson and then under Sir Alex Ferguson a
1:38.2	manager with whom Terry did have a massive fallout before patching it up and then moving on.
1:43.8	But there's a happy ending too with Wimbledon going on to lift the 1980

1:48.3	spoiler alert.
1:49.7	Yeah, they won the final.
