Roddy Collins Pt.2: They Tried To Sack Me… Then I Won The Double | The Football Historian Podcast #57

Welcome to The Football Historian Podcast, hosted by Peter Kenny Jones. In episode 57, Roddy Collins returns for Part Two of one of the most chaotic, honest and entertaining interviews we’ve ever recorded. After covering his playing career in Part One, this episode focuses on Roddy’s life in management — from accidentally becoming a player-manager at 23 to rebuilding clubs, fighting boardrooms, surviving pressure from supporters and creating some unforgettable stories along the way. Roddy talks about managing in Ireland, his time at Bohemians, winning the double, dealing with boards who didn’t want him, and the incredible comeback that helped save his job when he was 4-1 down at half-time. We also discuss his time at Carlisle United, how he tried to bring standards into the club, getting help from names like Sir Alex Ferguson, Bobby Robson and Sam Allardyce, and why Leon Osman immediately stood out as a Premier League talent. There’s also a more serious side to the conversation, as Roddy opens up on coaching licences, football politics, the career he feels was taken from him, and why keeping his dignity mattered more than staying quiet. Thanks so much for the continued support, and I hope this instalment of your soon-to-be favourite football podcast continues to impress. Learn more about your ad choices.
