Graham Hunter one-on-one with the biggest names in football - new episodes every week
ohn is a graduate of the academy at St Mirren where he was taught technique by progressive coaches - and also learned how to dodge fireworks! Let’s just say that training took place in Ferguslie Park, the more… boisterous end of Paisley. Hibernian came calling and John describes the Scottish Cup triumph of 2016 over Rangers, replete with a pitch invasion and a stirring rendition of the anthemic Sunshine on Leith.
John’s beloved Celtic’s inexplicable dithering meant that Aston Villa swooped for his signature, and he relates the thrill of beating rivals West Brom in a penalty shootout to set up a play-off victory over Derby. He also describes the agony of watching Scotland’s shootout in Serbia to clinch a place at the Euros. He needn’t have worried, because glory awaited.
*First broadcast in April 2021
