We have a nicely packed show for you tonight, with everything from Welsh rugby to Dutch football up for discussion.
We have Simon Roberts of Wales Online is on the line to talk us through Warren Gatland’s team selection for Saturday’s six nations game at the Aviva. Some in the Irish media are already hyping this as a potential title decider, and we’ll speak with Robert to get a feel for how the game, and Gatland’s selection, is viewed in Wales.
David Conn of the Guardian will be chatting with us to talk us through the situation at Leeds and how a once great club has become something of a basket case with over a decade of behind the scenes calamity continuing to this day.
We speak with Adam Hootnck, director of new 30 for 30 short, “Judging Jewell”. The film deals with a bombing at the Atlanta Olympic games in 1996, and the ensuing accusations surrounding the man who found the bomb, security guard, Richard Jewell.
Kildare All-Star Johnny Doyle is in the studio for an interview and a look ahead to the new football season.
Emmet Malone is in studio tonight for the Football Show and along with looking back at last night’s bi game between Chelsea and Manchester City we have interviews with David Winner and Tim Vickery
Tim Vickery, BBC South American football correspondent, is in his usual Tuesday slot, bringing us the latest news from South American football as we prepare for the World Cup in Brazil.
David Winner is the author of what many consider to be a contender for one o the best football books written, A Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football. Winner’s latest book is a football book with a distinct difference. It is, in the most basic sense, an autobiography of Dennis Berkamp. The limitations of that term do little justice to what Winner, Bergkamp and Dutch journalist Jaap Visser have produced. It is more of an in depth discussion with Bergkamp, analysing his thought process on the field, the forming of his identity in an Amsterdam suburb.
