Not sure there’s been a better, funnier radio show than Baker & Kelly. So much of the football media landscape now - Cliches, Football Ramble, etc - has its roots in that show. Danny Kelly was funny, smart and, above all, just seemed a lovely bloke
Class by Man Utd.
Leaking new manager news whilst the current manager is still in post.
They get worse and worse. No leadership from the top whatsoever.
We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.
A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.
“I love football, Stan. I love it.”
We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.
Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.
"600 quid a week. My lowest wage since I was a youngster at Norwich in 1994."
The football economy is brutal. One minute you’re a proven goalscorer. The next you’re too old, out of contract, and in big financial trouble.
'Last of the Goalhangers' by @JamieCuro is a must-read 👇
This unbelievable donation arrived in the post to us this week and it has me truly speechless. To donate something so special purchased by someone so important is so selfless and kind
This donation did not arrive with a contact address so if this is from you please let us know❤
@Martindevaney1 You know what mate! It might even have been “who’s keys are these?” 🤣
Lost 0-1 at home. Wettest day ever. Still sat in our kit about three hours later 🥶
Steve Cotterill made us watch a loss at Oxford once.
At half time the camera kept rolling just filming the pitch. After 5 mins watching a bloke divoting someone said “Ill fast forward gaffer?”
“NO. THIS IS THE BEST BIT” he screamed.
So there was sat.
And it was.
After a bad home defeat against Chesterfield we had the lads in the next day to watch a video we’d clipped highlighting our bad defending. And played this music over the action.
I can still see Steve Elliott’s face now…
WE PROMISE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN (OR HEARD) THIS BEFORE 😭
Fans of Valenciennes, now languishing near the bottom of France's 3rd tier, played circus music mid-match to show their dissatisfaction 🤡
The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years?
Yes, forty, forty five years.
Happy birthday Paul 🤘
@trousersoflife Went on to manage N Ireland (think he picked Duffo!) but didn’t really work out.
He really encouraged us to express ourselves and I flourished under him.
Macc fans think the same of him as Ctfc does of Steve.
Didn’t really kick on at club level but was a bit older than Steve.
