    by

I think without Patrick, he was the link. It was like a ladder to the goal. “You’d have to go into Patrick and they talk about Roy Keane, I’d put him ahead of Roy Keane. That’s a massive debate and people can say what they want.”Listen, this guy had everything. People used to look at him in the tunnel and that 97/98 group were pioneers for how we were going to play. “They’d look at him in the tunnel and go ‘wow, he’s even bigger in real life than on the TV, we can’t kick him.’Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”I think he reacted too much to a lot of that and then I had to become his minder and got sent off myself against [Paulo] Di Canio. We had lots of battles to keep Patrick there. “You had Patrick in midfield and Dennis Bergkamp, then you brought in Pires – what a talent.Gary Neville gives behind-the-scenes tour of new job as he misses Sky Sports’ coverage of Aston Villa vs Man Utd”Ray Parlour was granite and interweaving in all these teams. Then Sol Campbell came and worked with me and Tony [Adams]. “On the left-hand side we had Marc Overmars and you didn’t see him travel. He was so quick it was like ‘where did he come from?'”Keown could not resist a dig towards Neville, 49, as he continued before making his declaration over why he won’t appear on his old enemy’s podcast.He continued: “He destroyed Gary Neville which was always a nice pleasure. Sorry Gary! I’m not on your podcast and I won’t be either, it’s too Man United driven sorry! “He did them a favour when he left – Marc Overmars – because he was incredible. A great lad off the pitch as well.”Red Nev’s Red guestsNeville is one of the mainstays on The Overlap’s Stick to Football podcast alongside the aforementioned Keane.The podcast has been accused in the past of being too focused on Man Utd, with many of the guests who have appeared on the show being stars who played at Old Trafford.Of the last 10 guest-driven podcasts featuring a former pro discussing their career, ex-United stars Rio Ferdinand, Andy Cole, Patrice Evra, Peter Schmeichel, and former manager David Moyes have all featured.Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney was a frequent guest before he took over as manager of Championship side Plymouth.However, other core members of the podcast are ex-Liverpool star Jamie Carragher and Arsenal icon Ian Wright.Former Women’s Super League star Jill Scott is another ex-pro who appears often.READ MORE SUN STORIESRecent guests outside of the Man Utd gang include ex-stars Vieira, Glenn Hoddle and Les Ferdinand, while PGMOL chief Howard Webb, ex-Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and Burnley co-owner JJ Watt.Regardless, Keown and Neville starred together for the England national team on 14 occasions.

      Co-Hosts of N.B.A. Player Podcasts Have ‘Best Job on the Planet’

      by

      For the friends of some famous athletes, hosting a show can mean a little money, some fame and a whole lot of work.Josh Hart grabbed a microphone, settled into his chair at the center of the stage and tugged the brim of his baseball cap. He looked to his left and saw the former N.F.L. quarterback Tom Brady and the rapper Lil Wayne on a black leather love seat. He looked to his right and saw his New York Knicks teammate and close friend Jalen Brunson in a matching easy chair.Then he looked beyond Brunson, to the only person onstage who needed an introduction at all.“That’s the man, the myth, the legend: Matt Hillman,” Hart said. “If you guys know the pod, you know Matty Ice.”“I’m the only one onstage you guys don’t know,” Hillman replied.“Y’all will know who he is by the end,” Hart told the crowd.It was a Friday in mid-August, and Hart, Hillman and Brunson were recording the first-ever live episode of their podcast, “The Roommates Show,” at Fanatics Fest NYC. The show, which started in February, has attracted a growing audience in part because of the popularity and personal connections of a young, surging Knicks team: Hart and Brunson are among four Knicks players who were teammates at Villanova. (They were also, as the title suggests, roommates.)“I’m the only one onstage you guys don’t know,” Hillman said to the crowd.Ahmed Gaber for The New York TimesThe show exists in a relatively crowded niche. There’s no official list, but some online tallies put the number of podcasts hosted by current or former N.B.A. players at nearly 60. Last season, active players hosted at least two dozen podcasts, meaning that one out of roughly every 20 players had a show. Beyond their ubiquity, another interesting feature has emerged in this small corner of sports media: More than half the podcasts have relatively anonymous co-hosts, like Hillman.We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

      The Tennis Podcast that Champions, and Hosts, Black Pros

      by

      Black Spin Global found an audience with its cheeky coverage of the growing number of ranked Black tennis players. It also offered them a forum.Eugene Allen was an 8-year-old Black boy growing up in southwest London when he first started to nurse hopes of one day playing professional tennis. It was 1997, and there were no Black men ranked in the top 100 on the ATP Tour. Venus Williams had just made her U.S. Open debut that year, and she and Chanda Rubin were the only Black women ranked in the top 50 in the world; Serena Williams was at No. 99.About 10 years later, Allen put down his rackets to focus on his education. The costs of the game — coaching sessions, travel to tournaments, equipment — were piling up. His family could no longer afford to help him prepare for the pro circuit.“I kind of fell out of love with it,” he said. “There was almost a resentment.”Now, Allen is the center of an online community focusing exclusively on Black tennis players worldwide, at a time when there are more pros and juniors on tour than ever before. As of July 1, there were five Black men ranked in the top 50: Ben Shelton (No. 14), Felix Auger-Aliassime (No. 17), Frances Tiafoe (No. 29), Gael Monfils (No. 33) and Arthur Fils (No. 34). On the WTA Tour, there were four women: Coco Gauff (No. 2), Jasmine Paolini (No. 7), Madison Keys (No. 13) and Sloane Stephens (No. 50).Since 2019, Allen has run Black Spin Global, a digital media brand that encompasses a podcast, blog and social media accounts where he and Lucy Tezangi delve deep into the tennis universe. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, they won,’” she said. “It’s match updates, breaking news, coach updates, player updates and so on.”Allen, 35, was lured back to the sport in the mid-2010s, when both Williams sisters were routinely ranked in the top 20 and James Blake, Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga were fan favorites breaking through on the men’s tour.Since leaving high-level competition, Allen had majored in journalism and taken jobs at The Daily Mail Online and The Telegraph, while writing freelance soccer articles. He founded Pitching It Black, a website dedicated to covering Black soccer players in Europe, in 2016 and thought, what if he did something similar for tennis?We are having trouble retrieving the article content.Please enable JavaScript in your browser settings.Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
