Chapter Three - The Spice Boys… with Steve McManaman
Episode 3, Sep 16, 2022, 11:01 PM
Our first two chapters dealt with teams that changed the game in the Premier League in Manchester United and Blackburn. One club was conspicuous by their absence… Liverpool had dominated football at home and abroad in the 70s and 80s but were finding the new decade difficult to deal with.
In fact, despite having some of the most talented young players around, they became more famed for their actions off the pitch, becoming known as the Spice Boys by the late 1990s. Steve McManaman helps us separate myth from legend with tales of Robbie Williams, crazy nights out and THOSE white cup final suits.
Meanwhile, those around the game, like Martin Keown, Peter Schmeichel and Michael Owen, give their view on the drinking culture around English football at the time and the legacy of that Liverpool side.
Chapter Three… it might not be how you remembered it.
