Roker Rapport Podcast: An Interview with SAFC cult hero - Paul “The Pie Man” Butler!

What are we talking about?

• How did the move to Sunderland come about?
• The squad of 98; Who was the best drinker of the group, how important was Sacko to the way they came together and who were his favourite players to play alongside?
• His recent work scouting for Man City and Liverpool searching for young talent, and his work at grassroots level;
• Running through brick walls for Bally; As the squad that Reidy and Sacko built was mostly former captains of other clubs, how much respect did they have for one another?
• The importance of momentum; Everyone knowing their jobs, and fighting for the shirt.
• Handling fan expectations at a big club, the problems with young lads coming up thinking more about their first car than their first game and “Proper togetherness”
• Steve Bould and his dodgy toes, smashing Shearer out of sight of the ref, and the love of the crowd;

All this and much more! A class interview with a great lad!
