Summary
Sir Alex Ferguson's first Manchester United signing, Viv Anderson joins the Pod this week. Viv reveals the incredible story of how he was scouted doing kick-ups on a beach, and how it was learning from two managerial greats in Brian Clough and Sir Alex Ferguson.
Viv also spoke passionately about making history when he became England's first black player to represent the national side, and his views on racism in football & society today.
