Talking About My Generation
Monday, 22 September 2025 - 1 hour 4 minutes
In this unmissable episode, hosts Lee Scriven and Del Bromham are joined by legendary football manager Karl Robinson for a conversation that shows just how closely the worlds of football and music collide.
Karl shares his first record (Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell), first gig (Groove Armada), and his most unforgettable shows – including Richard Ashcroft at the Royal Albert Hall and Alanis Morissette’s MTV Unplugged in Miami. He also recalls formative football moments, from John Barnes’ iconic runs to Liverpool’s greatest victories.
The trio explore the cultural heartbeat of Liverpool and Manchester, imagining the return of legends like Freddie Mercury, Steve Marriott, Jimmy Greaves and Diego Maradona, while debating dream gigs such as The Beatles at Shea Stadium or The Eagles in their early days.
You’ll also hear their fascinating breakdown of how band roles mirror football positions – from goalies as drummers to strikers as lead singers – plus stories about legendary managers, unsung kitmen, and the adrenaline highs of both stadiums and stages.
Packed with humour, insight, and passion, this episode will change how you see football and rock and roll forever.
