Talking Devils - A Manchester United Podcast
Barclay and Barton on Manchester United - Episode One - Busby and Murphy
In 2020, Wayne Barton and Patrick Barclay recorded a radio series on Love Sport Radio which no longer operates. It was a 9 episode run looking at the history of United post-WW2, hosted by Matt Beadle with Paddy and Wayne in conversation.
I found the shows and wanted to share them again as I'm really proud of the work I did with Paddy; I think these are entertaining and informative. This first episode looks at Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Murphy, with Paddy and I having recently written books on the respective men. I'm uploading the show in original format to protect the integrity of it so it may include references to Love Sport Radio and broadcast times which are of course not applicable.
**Do not adjust your audio! After the introduction it will level out. All other shows on Fridays will be broadcast without my introduction.
