Season 1985/86 Episode Nine - Stein, Scottish Managers and the Microphone

from Nessun Dorma Retro Football Podcast · host Nessun Dorma

The 10 September 1985 was a night where tension never dropped within Ninian Park, Cardiff. On the pitch was a controversial World Cup qualifier between Scotland and Wales. Off it, a heart attack that ended the life of one of Britain's greatest managers. The legendary broadcaster Archie Macpherson wraps up our season by recounting his experience of that night, the impact of Scottish managers on British football and what made them disproportionately successful and some reflection on his own career and how the business of commentary and broadcasting has changed.
