Summary

The European Championships begin this week against a backdrop of more political turmoil than the game has seen in years, from taking the knee to fans booing England’s own black players to the reverberations of the Super League. Clive Tyldesley, ITV’s lead football commentator for over 20 years, talks to Andrew Harrison about football at the crossroads, and brushes with legends from Dalglish to Ferguson in his new book Not For Me, Clive: Stories From the Voice of Football. “Football is the greatest meritocracy in the world. You can buy a football club. But you can’t buy your way into a team” “The famous Fergie hairdryer just doesn’t work on modern-day footballers” “If a political party could harness what we see in football every Saturday, they could take over Europe” Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
