Episode notes
Big Sam & Natalie sit down for a different kind of episode as they take walk down memory lane thanks to our friends at Classic Football Shirts.
Sam and Natalie react to various shirts from Sam's playing career including his 1978 second division title with Bolton Wanderers as well as from his time in America with the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
We then move on to Sam's career in management as Natalie shows kits from his early days including his first full time position as Blackpool manager.
They then both chat in depth about his most successful time as a manager of Bolton Wanderers by looking at shirts from the legendary Jay Jay Okocha before Sam claims the former Bolton midfielder would be worth well in excess of £100m today.
Sam and Natalie then look back on shirts from his time at Blackburn Rovers and Sunderland before talking about his time in charge of England and why Wayne Rooney is the best he's ever worked with.
Sam then looks back at his most recent job in football with Leeds United and what he would've done differently to try and keep them in the Premier League.
Finally they end the podcast by looking at one of Sam's biggest signings in the icon Fernando Hierro whilst in charge of Bolton Wanderers.
