Andy Gray: The untold stories of an Aston Villa legend
from Claret & Blue Podcast · host Reach Podcasts
Let's start with a question: 'Where the f*****g hell is Aston Villa?' It's not often a guest on our Claret & Blue podcast can get away with such a blunt enquiry about our beloved football club, but we'll make an exception for Andy Gray. That was a genuine question the former claret and blue hero asked himself when he found out he was joining Villa as a teenager way back in 1975. To a generation or more Andy Gray is renowned for his football punditry, but before dominating the airwaves he was dominant in the air as Ron Saunders' 70s revival took flight. For all his analysis of the Premier League era, he hasn't spoken much about his playing (and coaching) career at Villa - until now. 🎙🎙 This podcast is sponsored by NordVPN, for the best discount visit: https://www.nordvpn.com/claretandblue Listen to the podcast on your favourite podcast provider: https://podfollow.com/claret-blue-an-aston-villa-podcast Follow us on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@claretbluepodcast Dan Rolinson: https://www.threads.net/@danrolinson1 John Townley: https://www.threads.net/@johntownley11 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClaretBluePod Dan Rolinson: https://twitter.com/DanRolinson Mat Kendrick: https://twitter.com/MatKendrick John Townley: https://twitter.com/JohnTownley11 Learn more about your ad choices.
