The Non League Gaffer Tapes returns with a slightly different twist. In the hot seat facing Dave Anderson is his former Gaffer, Erik Samuelson former CEO of AFC Wimbledon. Discussing how he became involved in the newly formed club, hiring and firing of managers and challenges faced by a club in the spotlight, this is an insight into modern football that all will enjoy. This is the first part of two very entertaining and insightful pods with Erik.

Newmarket Town, Cambridge United, Kettering Town, Watford, Latvia, Yeovil Town, Bristol City, Northampton Town, Peterborough United, Cheltenham Town and now Torquay United have all played a part in the making of the man and the manager that is Gary Johnson. In an open and honest interview with Dave Anderson he reveals the benefits that come with being successful and older; the importance of trust and being yourself; why there's nobody in the game he's worked with he wouldn't shake hands with now and how even serious health issues couldn't keep him away from the touchline.

Top of the National South with the best home record in the country, Wealdstone boss Dean Brennan is enjoying life, but it's not been without ups and downs. Hear how his then day job led to his first managerial chance in non league, the highs and lows of the Tamplin Era at Billericay and why he doesn't give a pre-match team talk. It's Dublin meets Belfast in the accent department and the first manager to turn the tables on Dave Anderson and pose a question to him.

It's his first real managerial job after a very brief caretaker spell previously, but Ian Evatt has proven he has what it takes at Barrow, currently leading them ahead of the rest of non league at the top of the National, but can he cope with the interrogation of The Gaffer Tapes' Dave Anderson?

Gary McCann reveals to Dave Anderson how he had the managerial mindset years before he went into coaching. 12 and a half years at Hendon as manager and now Hampton and Richmond Borough, he explains the importance of the relationship with your Chairman and the need to grasp opportunities as they arise. Plus the multitude of problems of managing a club without a ground and how having other managers to lean on and seek advice from is essential to your professional development and personal sanity.

Gaffer interrogator Dave Anderson has never been a big fan of joint manager roles, but he's always been a big fan of Jon Underwood and Neil Baker current joint managers at Slough Town and it would be tough deny their 500 plus games in charge have been anything but successful. By then end of this bumper episode even Dave may be about to become an advocate of joint manager roles....

It's another Steve in the spotlight. This time it is Steve Baker current manager at Harrow Borough. Well known to Dave Anderson as a player, as a coach and as a friend but that doesn't hold back his questioning. A bumper episode ahead of Christmas, just shy of the hour.

Dave Anderson speaks with Steve McKimm, one of his former players he always thought would head into management. Hear how walking away at times may have been easier and why management can be the loneliest job in the world but equally the most rewarding.
