Sweeper! - Steve Bruce (Chapter 5) AnotherSlice Exclusive

Chapter 5 picks up with some dynamite prose from Bruce. A masterclass in semantic efficiency. And then goes swiftly and consistently downhill from there... 

We meet Steve's short-term sidekick in landlord Malik, and there's some revelations about the dynamic of Steve's marriage. We'd call this chapter 'joining tissue' - and we'd also love to know which famous crime writer would do the best job at rewriting or punching up the Bruce / Barnes trilogy?... answers on a postcard below...

Thanks

Chris, Josh and Michael

LBHY: Inside The Four Year Plan

For this episode, we are joined by a dream guest - it’s former Coventry City, Southampton and Celtic manager Gordon Strachan! 

Gordon shares all on his time at Coventry City: from working with Big Ron Atkinson to having Noel Whelan as a lodger, and even trying to bring a teenage Andrea Pirlo to Highfield Road!

He talks us through his spell at Southampton and gives us his thoughts on Rupert Lowe’s bold decision to bring Sir Clive Woodward into football.

And of course, we get into his period at Celtic – featuring all the chaos and comedy of trying (and failing) to make sense of Thomas Gravesen!

Plus, our inbox is BULGING! We dig into your excellent correspondence… but seriously, was the kick-off of Liverpool’s UEFA Cup semi-final against Barcelona really delayed because of Eastenders?

LBHY: Gordon Strachan

This week, we're joined by a true legend of the commentary world – Ian Darke!

He shares why it’s best not to strike up a conversation with Des Lynam during the first 40 seconds of a flight, and what it’s really like handling fiery managers like Sir Alex Ferguson and Neil Warnock.

Ian also reflects on his time as a boxing commentator, including the tense moments where he had to navigate riots and even gunfire.

Plus, there's time to chat about his lifelong support for Portsmouth FC and the unforgettable highs of the club’s remarkable run through the 00's.
