Former Manchester United striker Alan Smith is this week's guest, with a timely appearance as his other ex-club, Leeds United, are promoted back to the Premier League.
Smudge opens up about his feelings at the time of that move from Elland Road to Old Trafford, revealing how his dad broke the news to friends in their local pub. But the Yorkshireman explained it was easier with Eric Cantona and Rio Ferdinand making the same move in years prior.
There are stories about learning from Sir Alex Ferguson and Roy Keane, and how he wish he had more time to shadow the former Utd Captain when the boss converted Smith to a central midfielder.
Alan also goes into great detail about his career-threatening leg break against Liverpool and how he feared his foot may have needed to be amputated after the horrible injury at Anfield.

Alan Smith was a player who would always leave everything out on the pitch. A warrior who gave every ounce of effort he had. He was so unlucky with that injury but to show that level of determination to come back from it was remarkable & summed him up perfectly. It would of undoubtebly ended the careers of many right there & then. Top Man Smudger❤

its a shame that he was around when Van Nistelrooy was still at United and Rooney signed after, limited his chances playing as a striker and change in position which never really worked and would have loved to see a partnership of Smith and Rooney... can imagine it working well like Rooney and Tevez.

Replacing Roy Keane wasn't an impossible job the man at the time to replace him was Gattuso very similar player very hot headed and just the one and only replacement for a roy keane
@rayunited2010foryou 3 жыл бұрын
No, Gattuso is hot-headed by nature, unlike Keane who also stayed composed and dictated games while playing aggressively. Gattuso was not even in Keane's league, not even close. People see his tackles and fights on KZfaq videos and assume that Keane always used to fight with and tackle players. But he was more than that. And he'll always be missed just like we miss players like Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, and Rooney.
@Mark16D 3 жыл бұрын
What a bad comparison! do you think Roy Keane was just hot headed? similar playing styles maybe, but Gattuso wasn't in the same league as Keane. Keane was everything Man United represented in one player. to even compare the 2 is just an insult to everything we accomplished with Keano.

@@davidcollins2044 that's the whole point! he was irreplaceable. There was no one around at the time to do what Keane did, and there still isn't really. the closest person that probably could have replaced Keane MAYBE was Steven Gerrard. but even that wouldn't have been a guarantee!
