Legendary football journalist Paddy Barclay and Manchester United author and producer Wayne Barton return for the second season of their acclaimed history series on Manchester United.

In came Peter Schmeichel and Paul Parker, with Andrei Kanchelskis also adapting to life in England, and young winger Ryan Giggs also cutting his teeth. Ferguson had new star power in his team and, with it, almost ended United's 25-year wait for a league title. As it was, they would finish the final old 'Division One' with a painful memory which would scar and motivate in equal measure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From the Archives • 2019 • Ron Atkinson #7

Episode seven of the Talking Devils podcast is a special archive interview with the former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson. With this being FA Cup weekend, what better time to release this 2019 interview with 'Big Ron', undertaken by Wayne Barton.“The only way you’re going to Old Trafford,” Ron Atkinson remembers telling Bryan Robson, “is if I go there too.” Atkinson didn’t expect Robson to be the first one on the phone when he got the Manchester United job in 1981.Atkinson is a controversial figure in Manchester United and football history but was a necessity to be interviewed for the integrity and completion of the book Que Sera Sera. And his place in United history should not be understated. His footballing ideals, and their attachment to United's cultural identity, are explored in that book. This is part of the interview that was undertaken for it. In this podcast you will hear stories of the great visionary coach Jimmy Hogan and how Robson and Remi Moses arrived at Old Trafford. This is not how you would usually hear Ron Atkinson talk so it felt like a good moment to share it.Que Sera Sera is published by Pitch Publishing and is available through Amazon, Waterstones and all major book retailers.
