In episode three of the ECHO's Big Interview, Neil Jones and Neil Mellor speak to Kevin Sheedy, owner of one of the sweetest left foots Merseyside has ever seen.Kevin talks about learning his trade kicking a ball against the wall of a Herefordshire pub, and moving to Liverpool under Bob Paisley in the late-1970s.Though he would fail to break into the first team at Anfield, he has plenty of memories and stories to share of his time in digs alongside Ronnie Whelan - attending barbecues at Kenny Dalglish's house. He would later, of course, make his name truly on the other side of Stanley Park, in that great Everton team of the 1980s.Howard Kendall and Jack Charlton feature prominently - listen out for a great Charlton story involving a deck of cards - and Sheedy also opens up about his successful battle against bowel cancer in 2012.It's a great listen - we hope you enjoy!
