Wise Men Say

SPECIAL EPISODE: Sir Bob Murray

We were invited to the magnificent Beacon of Light to speak to former Sunderland chairman Sir Bob Murray about his new book I'd Do It All Again, which covers his life story from humble beginnings in Consett to becoming the man that masterminded Sunderland's move to a new stadium, a new training ground, helping build Wembley Stadium and St George's Park and establishing the Foundation of Light alongside the Beacon of Light itself.


All proceeds from the book, which costs £20, will go to the Foundation - it's well worth a read and we're really grateful for Sir Bob in giving up his time for the podcast.


The book is available here
