Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Chris Sutton from season two.

Chris’ success as a striker in England and Scotland was rooted in a tough start. As a kid, an initial rejection by his local club Norwich just made him all the hungrier – and a second bite at the cherry with the Canaries plus his dad and his youth coach’s tough motivational approaches set him on the trajectory to a trophy-laden career.

At Norwich he once faced Alan Shearer while playing as a centre-half, and was on the end of a 7-1 schooling. But he so shone as a striker at Carrow Road that he would soon partner Shearer at Blackburn after a record transfer move. There, manager Kenny Dalglish had his players walking through walls for him all the way to a famous last-day league title win. Yet it was Chris’ incredibly successful relationship with the legendary Henrik Larsson at Celtic that was his most cherished, not least because it followed a very difficult period at Chelsea during which he had lost his confidence.

I guarantee you will love hearing this very different side to one of the game’s great characters.

Back with another episode to keep you good people entertained during this unprecedented social lockdown. This time we speak to Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73), former EPL and SPL winner, and now notoriously known for his no-nonsense football punditry. 

Starting right at the beginning of an illustrious career, Chris spoke to us about his breakthrough at Norwich, going for a British record fee and winning the Premier League with Blackburn, the "Arsenal incident", playing for Dalglish and O'Neil, his regrets of not playing more for England, as well as his incredible 6 years at Celtic. Amongst this, Chris also reflects on his reputable strike partnerships with legends Henrik Larsson and Alan Shearer and their mental strength and relentlessness. Chris also discusses how his own self-critique was a huge driving force throughout his career.

Chris Sutton, totalling 409 professional club appearances and 148 goals, spent 9 years playing in the English Premier League spread across 3 clubs, Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, and Chelsea, before heading North of the border to spend 6 years with Celtic, and then ending his career back in England with brief spells at Birmingham City and Aston Villa. Chris remains in the spotlight through his tell-it-like-it-is punditry where he voices his opinion on BT Sport and BBC Radio 5, as well as through his columns at the Daily Mail and Daily Record.
