Defensive stalwart Jimmy Nicholl is the latest UTD Podcast guest, as he tells some riveting stories from his time growing up at United and amassing almost 250 appearances for the Reds, between 1975 and 1981.
Jimmy played for both United and Rangers who, coincidentally, take on the Reds in a pre-season friendly at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday 20th July. You can get your tickets here.
Remarkably, after being born in Canada, his family escaped the Troubles in Northern Ireland thanks to the help of the club, with then-manager Tommy Docherty helping to arrange the move to Manchester. He puts his signing of a professional deal down to a bona-fide United legend and would go on to forge close bonds with the rest of the team.
There were real highs for club and country, which he details, such as winning the 1977 FA Cup and beating hosts Spain at the 1982 World Cup with Billy Bingham’s Northern Ireland, and the partying that ensued.
Jimmy explains why Ron Atkinson’s arrival proved to be the beginning of the end for him at United but he discusses his career in coaching after hanging up his boots and his current job as assistant manager to the country he served so well as a player.
There is one big regret, though, for the former full-back. Find out what it is, and much more, by listening to our revealing interview.

Paul also tells us what he's up to these days, he gives us an update on his father Wilf, and he explains to us what Manchester United means to him. Do not miss this very special episode of the UTD podcast!

In a first for the UTD podcast, this week we have a referee, and not just any referee, former head of referees, Keith Hackett. For this one Sam & Helen are joined by Wes Brown who is filling in for Maysie.
In a career spanning from 1972 to 1994, Keith worked in the English Football League (and international football) as a linesman and referee. He refereed the 1990–91 league encounter between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford, a match notorious for the 21-man brawl breaking out just after the hour mark. Keith also refereed his last ever match at Old Trafford, a game between United and Liverpool.
Keith later worked as a referees' assessor before, on 1 March 2004, he was appointed general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).
Today Keith talks about a long career refereeing at the top level of football, his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as how the game is changing. Warning - VAR chat incoming!

25 years ago, Manchester United made English football history, when they won the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. With a nucleus of homegrown stars, Alex Ferguson and his team went on a remarkable 33 game unbeaten run to reach the promised land.
Where there is a true moment in time, a ‘where were you?’ moment, there is a desire to relive it. And not just relive it. To feel what it was like before it happened. To remember that anticipation. To bask in the moment and soak it in just one more time. Now you can.
Narrated by Paddy Barclay, produced by Wayne Barton and using rare unheard audio from the collection of Tom Tyrrell, this episode of the Manchester United Podcast places you on May 14th, 1999, two days before the final Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur. You will hear from the players as they navigated through the following days, on the brink of history, experiencing it as it happened.
This is Manchester United, on the edge of glory.

For the first time ever the UTD podcast has been filmed in front of a live audience! We're back in Malta but this time we've got the whole gang together plus our special guest Mike Phelan.
Back in early February Sam, Helen & Maysie were invited by the supporters' club to celebrate their 65th anniversary and they had plenty of activities planned for us. Thank you to everyone at the Manchester United Supporters' Club Malta for your hospitality.
Mike Phelan has been on the UTD podcast before talking about his coaching career, so this was the perfect opportunity to focus more on his playing days. As well as his time at Burnley and Norwich, he talks about how he first joined United during that early Alex Ferguson era, before the gaffer had won a single trophy at United. Mike shares his memories of that famous 1990 FA Cup victory and tells the audience how things really clicked into place after that, putting in place the foundations for domination in the years that followed.
Maysie and Mike were also able to take some questions from the audience. Don't miss this truly unique episode of the UTD podcast!

Marouane Fellaini, who was Manchester United’s first major signing of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, sat down with Helen Evans and Sam Homewood to discuss his journey with the Reds between 2013 and 2019. The Belgium international, who announced his retirement from football in February 2024, admits his first season at the club was ‘the worst of his career’, but highlights his hard work and dedication in recovering to become a vital contributor to trophy wins under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.
Marouane also touches upon his early career with Standard Liege and Everton, moving to China and living through Covid there and what’s next after hanging up his boots, in an honest, open and insightful listen.

Sam, Helen and Maysie are back at Carrington to speak to Emma Watson. The Scot joined United from Rangers in the summer of 2023 at the young age of 17 but unfortunately suffered an ACL injury while on international duty, shortly after signing. She opens up about how she is coping with this difficult stage in her career and what her future ambitions are, and believe us, she has big ambitions!
Emma’s career is still in its infancy, but that hasn’t stopped her tasting success. She’s a Scotland international, she’s scored in the Champions League, she won the 2021/22 Scottish Women's Premier League title and if that wasn’t enough, she was named PFA Scotland Women's Young Player of the Year. Wow, you can see why Marc Skinner wanted to sign her!
Enjoy this conversation with a rising star.
Our women's team have an exciting end of season in store, including an FA Cup semi-final and a match at Old Trafford. You can get behind them and purchase your match tickets here.

This week Sam, Helen and Maysie are moving into politics. They were invited to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to speak to the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham!
Andy is a huge football fan and an ambassador for the city of Manchester. Although he is an Everton fan, we talk about how his day job is heavily influenced by Manchester United and we explore his relationship with the club. Did you know that Andy's father attended the first game at Old Trafford after the Munich air disaster? And do you remember when Andy visited Vatican City to gift Pope Francis a Lisandro Martinez shirt?
We also use this opportunity to preview the upcoming Everton match at Old Trafford, plus Maysie tells us what he would do if he was ever the Mayor of Greater Manchester. Could this be the start of a new career?

It's happened, we've got him! Lady Evans is joined by Mr Evans MBE on the Manchester United podcast! This episode was recorded in two parts, the first at the Evans household, before we catch up at Carrington to discuss the fact that the defender is now back at the club, after re-signing in the summer.
No ground is left uncovered with the Northern Irishman, from his early days as a supporter and memories of celebrating in the street when his heroes won the Treble. There is some chat around the computer game Football Manager, life in a body cast (!) and why he wouldn't kiss his mum in front of Roy Keane!
Of course, the background of how he joined the Reds' fabled Academy is covered in depth, as well as his two stints in the senior team. Impressive stays at West Brom and Leicester City are also discussed but the main focus is this big Red's affection for his boyhood club.
There is even a selection of listeners' questions for Jonny to answer as he lifts the lid on how much United means to him.

As we commemorate the 66th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster, we have delved into the archives to present a special episode of the Manchester United podcast.
In 1998, 40 years after the tragedy, journalist and author Tom Tyrrell spent time with Jackie Blanchflower, Bill Foulkes and Albert Scanlon, Busby Babes and survivors from that fateful day.
They spoke about the wonderful and ground-breaking team they played in, the events of February 6th, 1958, the aftermath and how it made them feel to watch the United team of 1998 - on the edge of glory themselves.
Narrated by the legendary football writer Paddy Barclay, this is of course an incredibly emotional account of the darkest day in our club’s history, and the accounts of Jackie, Bill and Albert are presented as they were told in order to educate listeners.

To kick off 2024 Sam, Helen & Maysie catch up with former Red and Northern Ireland international Pat McGibbon. Pat has an important story to tell, particularly at a time of year when a lot of people struggle with their mental health.
Not long after joining United as a teenager, Pat learnt the tragic news of his brother Phillip taking his own life, which is something Pat hasn't spoken about until recently. He has begun to speak publicly about mental health issues, with the aim of increasing mental health awareness, reducing the stigma and promoting health and well-being through sport. Pat tells us about this heart-breaking time for his family and also how Manchester United offered him much needed structure in his life, helping him to focus on his football career again. It wasn't until after retirement when Pat started to really struggle with his own mental health. We're pleased to say that Pat has turned things around and is now a mental health and wellbeing coach/mentor.
In Phillip's honour, Pat founded the charity TRAIN 2 B SMART (TTBS) Juniors, who aim to promote positive mental health and well-being through sport. TTBS have affiliated boys and girls teams at a range of age groups. The aim of the charity is to educate through seminars, workshops, play and to inspire the local/ wider community.
For more information on Train 2B Smart you can watch this video or visit their website. You can donate to their Community Well-being Hub JustGiving page here. Thank you!
