Tony Mowbray is a Teesside icon - the iconic skipper of a young team of local lads that under Bruce Rioch took the club from the 3rd tier to the 1st with successive promotions against a backdrop that saw the club almost cease to exist and be locked out of its Ayresome Park home back in 1986.

Football fans in general will recognise Tony Mowbray as the manager of clubs like West Brom, Celtic, Hibernian, Blackburn Rovers most recently and of course, his beloved Middlesbrough. A great football mind and man who just lives and breathes the game.

In this episode, we discuss

- His roots and where the passion for the game comes from- His development from player to coach and manager- The challenges facing coaches in developing young players these days- The great coaching influences in today's game- England's prospects on the world stage- Parenthood

A wonderful experience to talk football with my boyhood hero
