On today’s episode, we are joined by a two time Premier League winner with over 50 caps for England.
Paul Ince’s 20 year career took him from his local club West Ham, to Italy, Old Trafford and Anfield as he became one of the few players to represent both side’s in the Premier League’s fiercest rivalry…
Paul went on to become a manager, learning his trade at Macclesfield Town and MK Dons before a short stint in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers. In 2022 he joined Reading FC but after a tumultuous spell that featured point deductions, an absent owner and a transfer embargo he left the club last year.
’The Guv’nor’ joins the show to discuss his challenging upbringing, his bust ups with Sir Alex Ferguson and his difficult time at Reading, whilst also giving his thoughts on the future prospects of his former clubs.

For this man to come from where he came from and end up playing more than 50 times for England (should definitely have got more) and becoming a stalwart for the biggest club in England is truly a rags to riches story ; what an absolute legend.

God bless you, Incey. Despite the racial abuse, you refuse to see colour - that makes me proud to be a fellow Londoner. From the hard, hard start in life you had, where you got to is incredible. I could see the emotion in your eyes when you spoke about wanting that feeling of 'family' (my eyes moistened as I watched). Well said to the press when then were trying the "first black player to" crap. You got to captain England because of your talent and leadership. I will never, ever forget you leading us to the World Cup finals with your head bloodied and bandaged that night in Rome. You love our country despite the evil idiots who racially abused you. That makes you a so much bigger man than they (or I can) can ever dream of being. That's why you are the governor.

The reason why Fergie called Ince a 'bottler' and a 'f,cking big time Charlie' in the pre-match team meeting, was because he saw Ince as a THREAT to his midfield. Simple as that. Had he not been worried about ince dominating the midfield, then he wouldn't have said anything about him. In fact, he probably wouldn't have even thought about him.

Ince's comparison of Liverpool and united is floored. When he joined the former, they had just ended a period of unrivalled dominance, winning leagues and European cups, it was the end of that cycle. When he was at united, on the other hand, it was the beginning of their dominance so you can't compare the two. That said, United's dominance coincided with globalisation so over the fergie years, they arguably reach a larger consumer base, earned more income and thus surpassed Liverpool's popularity
