Episode Notes
Welcome to The Football Historian Podcast, hosted by Peter Kenny Jones.
In this episode I’m joined by former footballer and manager Roddy Collins.
From meeting George Best during a trial at Fulham to his experiences in English and Irish football, Roddy shares incredible stories from his career — both on and off the pitch.
We also discuss:
• His early career and trials in England
• The reality of football in the lower leagues
• Dressing room culture and management
• Differences between Irish and English football
• Life as a player and manager
This is one of the most story-driven episodes we’ve recorded.
