#8 Extra Time with Danny Wilson

When Football Began Again - The Premier League Years podcast

Host Carl Jones is joined by former Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Wilson to discuss his career in football and the Premier League.

A player at Hillsborough during the inaugural season of the Premiership, he'd later drop down to Division One where he'd lead Barnsley to their maiden season in the top flight and very nearly keep them there.

He'd later take the reins at Sheffield Wednesday and was on the sidelines as his star player Paulo Di Canio pushed referee Paul Alcock to the floor and left the field in disgrace, never to wear the blue and white stripes of the Owls again.

He discusses all of that, plus scoring in a Wembley cup final for Luton, the reasons he never went into international management with Northern Ireland and what Christmas is like for players and managers. We also find out who you voted for as the Premier League era's greatest Belarussian from last week's show.
