Manchester Derbies: Fergie's Fury, Balotelli Madness & Shaun Wright-Phillips
Overhead kicks, t-shirts, Balotelli and Tevez. Yes, this episode is all about Manchester derbies and to ensure this is not a one-sided affair, Shaun Wright-Phillips joins Wayne, Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd to rep Manchester City. As well as picking their favourite derby wins, we also find out who received the worst hairdryer Wayne ever saw from Sir Alex, how Carlos Tevez’s move from Manchester United to City went down with the two dressing-rooms and which players got up and sang a Backstreet Boys classic at Wayne’s birthday to lighten the mood after that famous 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford. Wayne also recalls which game prompted two weeks of silent treatment to the squad from Sir Alex Ferguson, what he really thought of Mario Balotelli’s ‘Why Always Me?’ T-shirt, whether he thinks his overhead kick was better than Garnacho’s at Everton and why he was fuming when he scored his famous volley against Newcastle. Wayne and Shaun also discuss the challenges their children face as they try to make their own mark on football, while carrying the names of their fathers.
