When he’s not busy appearing on Football Weekly or writing the Fiver or the Rumour Mill, Barry Glendenning likes nothing more than spending an afternoon in the company of a current or former star of the Premier League era. Well, who doesn’t?
Chris Kamara
Barry met up with the star of Sky’s Soccer Saturday - and, let’s not forget, a former manager and tough-tackling midfielder at Bradford and Stoke City - to discuss his playing days, his unlikely bromance with José Mourinho, and his fondness for a bit of classic era Elton John.
