Summary

Former Manchester United winger Keith Gillespie joins the Pod this week to tell the extraordinary story of his Premier League career.

He tells the guys about being part of United's famous Class of '92 and his brush with Sir Alex Ferguson's hairdryer, before signing for Newcastle as part of the Andy Cole deal.

From there, Keith reveals the extent of his gambling addiction at that time and the large amounts of money he lost.

As always, the guys read out some of your e-mails at the end of the episode. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to get in touch.
