Up Front With Simon Jordan: Sam Allardyce
•
This is Up Front with Simon Jordan. A show brought to you by William Hill that pulls no punches and tells it EXACTLY like it is.
Sam Allardyce is a name that is synonymous with the Premier League. Portrayed as a long ball specialist, branded a dinosaur and even renowned as a revolutionary, you simply cannot tell the story of modern British football without the man they call ‘Big Sam’.
Fresh from his short term Leeds United experiment, Sam joins the show to discuss his time at Leeds whilst looking back at the key moments in his career. Whether it’s his success at Bolton Wanderers or the pain of losing the England job. Nothing is off the table in this week’s episode of Up Front.
