Summary
This week we're joined by former Manchester United striker Joe Jordan.
Known for his no-nonsense approach to goalscoring, Joe was a cult hero at Old Trafford in the late 70s and early 80s.
He told us the toe-curling story of how he lost his teeth during his first game for Leeds United, which subsequently earned him the nickname 'Jaws'.
Joe also recalled the moment Bayern Munich tried to sign him, and why he allowed his good friend Gordon McQueen to impersonate him during those transfer negotiations.
Sam, Helen and Maysie also read out your emails at the end of the episode. If you'd like to write to the only official Manchester United Podcast then e-mail utdpodcast@manutd.co.uk
If you'd like to listen through our back-catalogue, the best place to do that is over on the Manchester United App, where you can listen to and watch all of our episodes in full for free!
We'd also love it if you could leave us a rating and review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, guys. Before we get started with this week's episode, we just have a little bit of news for you. |
| 0:05.0 | Oh, yes. |
| 0:06.0 | We do. The news is that we don't have a dedicated section on the official Manchester United app just for our podcast. |
| 0:11.0 | May I go on it? Loving it? |
| 0:13.0 | Yes. Loving it. |
| 0:14.0 | We know what you're thinking. Why should I move my favourite podcast up all the way over to New York? |
| 0:19.0 | Well, two reasons. Reason one is that you will get the podcast a whole 24 hours earlier. |
| 0:24.0 | I think that's a really good reason. |
| 0:26.0 | That's 24 hours earlier than everywhere else. And you can be first in line to hear every new episode. |
| 0:31.0 | Yeah. And reason number two is it allows us to bring you so much more than just the episode. |
| 0:34.0 | So if we talk about goals, you'll be able to see the goals within the app. |
| 0:37.0 | And you'll also see it associated articles and something a lot of people have requested. |
| 0:41.0 | You'll be able to watch more episodes of the podcast all in one place, which to me seems sensational. |
| 0:46.0 | But if you're not convinced and want to stay where you are, that's fine too. |
| 0:49.0 | We'll still bring you our pods right here every week as usual. |
| 0:53.0 | Right here, right now. But also, if you're on the app, you won't have to sit through |
| 0:58.0 | or telling you always every time. That's good, doesn't it? |
| 1:01.0 | Yeah, because this is going to get repeated if you're listening on something else, but not on the app. |
| 1:04.0 | Anyway, that's it. The official Manchester Eye app now has a podcast section. |
| 1:07.0 | Loads going on in there. Check it out now. On with this episode. |
| 1:10.0 | Download the app. |
| 1:13.0 | The line will be for the cross. It's a good one, Jordan. |
