S1 E5: Colin Murray

In the second episode of the new series, Ian and the gang are joined by “the real boss”, Mrs Kim Holloway, to discuss all manner of things. They discuss – among other subjects – what it’s like living with Ollie in a lockdown, how he’s been spending his Saturday afternoons since leaving football management, and whether or not he will ever return to the dugout. Ian also discusses whether he would have plastic surgery, why he won’t be going to Ashton Gate for his Covid-19 vaccination, and which two current Premier League clubs he turned down while managing Blackpool.

Ian Holloway returns to the world of podcasting, linking up with his old friends at JMP for the launch of their new ReelTalk project. In the first episode of the series, he answers questions from Twitter users and discusses a range of subjects, including which rival manager he would treat to a night out at Chasers nightclub; sharing a post-match bottle of wine with Sir Alex Ferguson; the weirdest job interview he ever had; Richard Kingson’s wife; trying to sign Jamie Vardy for Blackpool; lacking knowledge of League Two players during his ill-fated spell at Grimsby Town; Charlie Austin’s brilliance; and whether – in the words of a man calling himself Swimmer Steve – he would rather have “dicks for fingers or a finger for a dick”. Note: This episode was recorded in February 2021, before Chris Wilder left Sheffield United.

Ollie sits down with his friend and colleague, the broadcaster Colin Murray, to discuss growing up in Belfast, the time Ollie ruined Colin's whiskey club, going on stage in front of 75,000 Liverpool supporters, and why neither of them get offered any voiceover work.
