Steff GarreroHOST
Do you know what Bergerac is?
Elis JamesHOST
Do you remember Jimmy Hill as a pundit? Okay, we move on to Hansen and Lawrenson.
Steff GarreroHOST
[laughs]
Mike BubbinsHOST
Do you know this music? [singing]
Marc JonesGUEST
You know, the BBC, I think it was, showed the league game against Forest.
Marc JonesGUEST
I don't know whether it was that or the semi-final, but I remember they showed like half an hour on cup final day of Liverpool's last game or so, you know, and My recollection is Jimmy Hill with his straight face says it could be double figures.
Marc JonesGUEST
So that's where that folklore comes from.
Marc JonesGUEST
It was the way that the kind of the media set that game up on the day, almost to say, well, yeah, well done.

Martin RamsayHOST
But, you know, it has a way of tripping you up, this kind of thing.
Martin RamsayHOST
And the FA Cup's kind of good for that, isn't it? I mean, I go two years on when Liverpool beat Palace.
Martin RamsayHOST
You were talking about double figures earlier on Jimmy Hill's Liverpool beating Palace 9-0 at Anfield earlier in that season and Palace beating them in that semi-final to get there.
Martin RamsayHOST
It's something about the Cup.
ClaudioHOST
Did a stadium tour.
ClaudioHOST
Met Jimmy Hill.
ClaudioHOST
Mickey Adams in charge.
ClaudioHOST
Sheffers and Staunton scored.
Stu BurgessGUEST
And so a real kind of left field call.
Stu BurgessGUEST
And one of the funny things was listening to Jimmy Hill trying to pronounce their names and this over exaggerated kind of, you know, trying to put the local head to ideas and a VA and sort of about as, you know, a cultural experience on the lines of watching the black and white minstrel show.
Stu BurgessGUEST
But yeah, I mean, what great signings, you know, and I mean, they clearly were a class above, you know, pretty much everyone in that Spurs team apart from Hoddle, obviously.
Stu BurgessGUEST
And they just, you know, kind of immediately lifted it and kind of created a bit of a buzz across the whole first division, really, I think.
Sooz KempnerHOST
Like, it was that kind of school, right? We didn't have visitors like that at my school.
Sooz KempnerHOST
Although, when I was at secondary school, the football pundit, Jimmy Hill, came once.
Sooz KempnerHOST
Do you know Jimmy Hill? No.
Michael BalazoHOST
I don't.
Sooz KempnerHOST
He had like a long chin, Jimmy Hill.
Sooz KempnerHOST
He was a footballer, I think.
Sooz KempnerHOST
And then he became like a pundit and he was like a really famous pundit.
Sooz KempnerHOST
And then Phil Cornwell, the comedian, did an impression of him that went...
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Say goodbye to those historic stadiums.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The clubs have replaced them with soulless corporate bowls with silly names like the Jimmy Hill's Dick in Someone Stadium.
Gordon MousinhoHOST
That's my favourite bit of the whole podcast.
Gordon MousinhoHOST
Jimmy Hill's Dick in Someone Stadium.
Gordon MousinhoHOST
Yes.
Gordon MousinhoHOST
So I think, again, obviously partially at least true because you've lost all these great... historic stadia, Highbury, Main Road, Upton Park or Bulleen Ground, Roker, the Dell, dare I say the Dell, Baseball Ground, you know, all of these, the great stadia have gone.

Gordon MousinhoHOST
Not that it was a grimy pub.
Gordon MousinhoHOST
It's always quite a decent pub.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
Now, to get back to reality a little bit, back to the Premier League.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
Well, it was the Battle of the Sky Blues on Saturday, as Coventry City, the proper Sky Blues since the 60s when Jimmy Hill...
SarahCORRESPONDENT
Got us that nickname.
SarahCORRESPONDENT
Headed up north just a little bit to play the Pretender Sky Blues of Manchester City at the Etihad.
Tyler HansonHOST
And guys, just while I'm looking for this, I'm just gonna, like, continue to say, um, just about every single day, someone accuses me of being someone else.
Tyler HansonHOST
Um, I keep getting this Jimmy, Jimmy Hill guy.
Tyler HansonHOST
Um, so I'm gonna pull him up, too.
Tyler HansonHOST
People just keep saying, "I'm, I'm...
Tyler HansonHOST
Um, shoot, I, I'm not seeing it.
Tyler HansonHOST
All right.
Tyler HansonHOST
Anyway, here's Jimmy Hill.
Tyler HansonHOST
Someone keeps saying I'm Jimmy Hill, um, so I finally looked him up.
Martin TylerGUEST
"That means I'd have to give up my Saturdays." And that was a, one of the many stupid things I said in my life where, where somebody put me straight.
Martin TylerGUEST
And Jimmy Hill, the great late Jimmy Hill, I was writing a column for him in the, in one of the Sunday papers.
Martin TylerGUEST
He'd tweak it his way, but I'd do the substance for it.
Martin TylerGUEST
And I used to deliver it on a Friday morning, went in the, the Sunday People or the News of the World, I can't remember, one of those, and I would deliver it by hand, written by hand, no, no laptops or anything.
Martin TylerGUEST
And so I did exactly what he...
Martin TylerGUEST
The powerful presence of a man, and so I went home, phoned up hoping that they would say, "The job's gone." But they said, "Come in next Tuesday" and the rest.
Graeme SounessHOST
He, he, he was impressive, wasn't he? Jimmy Hill.
Martin TylerGUEST
Yes, he was.
Barry PowellGUEST
Yeah
ClaudioHOST
... around in the, the, the, the '60s when the rise of Jimmy Hill and, and all that.
Barry PowellGUEST
Yeah.
Jim BrownHOST
Yeah, I think, I think I'm about 18 months older than Barry, but he, um...
38 MINS LATER
Barry PowellGUEST
Well, as I, as I said, you know, 1979, I was player of the year

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jim BrownHOST
