Ep. 129: A chat with Ian Selley

We catch up with former Arsenal player, and cup winner, Ian Selley, along with football commentator, and dedicated Gooner, Dag Solheim. We look back on some of the epic cup wins in the early 90s, and especially the unexpected triumph against Parma in the Cup Winners cup final of 1994. How did they outwit their superior counterparts, and how did they celebrate? Along with Dag, Ian also reminisces about his journey from the academy to the first team, and tells great stories from the dressing room in George Graham's era. The famous drinking culture goes under the microscope, and Ian gives us the lowdown on how the players were able to combine that with their lifes as professional footballers. Also the former Gunner tells us just how great Dennis Bergkamp was in training, and how he sees Martin Ødegaard in the same mould. A certain Mr Ian Wright is also mentioned in the episode, in the role as a panicking bus driver. And how was it to have Tony Adams as your captain? We end with a chat about the current team, and Ian predicts that Arteta's Arsenal is on the cusp of something big.. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
