"The sun is shining and its a beautiful night"

'We'll have to do something about the turnstiles.' 20 years later and they are exactly the same.

‘Sold to the fat bastard in the blue blazer’ cracks me up every time 😂

Years ago, I have no idea why The Sun posted his phone number when he was at Birmingham, I think one of his players went missing or something. Me and some workmates decided to call it for a laugh a few days later and I got straight through to him and said " Hi Barry this is Dave Tucker from the Telegraph"...all bull shit of course, I was some raggy arsed telesales guy. However Barry fell for it, and we had a 2 minutes conversation about what I can't remember. However, at the end I decided to come clean, who I was and he told me " Fuck me son, you should get into journalism you had me fucking fooled you cunt" whilst laughing :)...Top bloke :)

“Carnnnt keep a good man darrrn “ 😂 Not many as charismatic as Fry , impossible to dislike him

Barry Fry is one in a million. Wheeler, dealer. The Del Boy of football. So glad I got to enjoy one of the best seasons in the modern era when he managed my club Birmingham City. Man, I miss 90's football!!

Barry Fry is football, how it should be and how it should be played, there is no one more passionate about the game in this universe. He is a proper bloke, he deserved so much more.

Imagine the pressure he was under...what a bloke!

'Life's full of bloody surprises' I swear that's his number one quote 😂

The last bit here is absolute gold, relegated, club in a mess , come back next year will be raring to go mate 😂 brillant. Top man.

what a fella,love his passion..

Such an entertaining documentary, Barry Fry, you've gotta love him! What a character!

I'm an Irish person who supports his local team, I recall a match I attended which also happened to be attended by the President of Ireland and the team that Barry Fry owned (I think it was Peterborough). There were quite a few players from the team there as well as various other personalities from the game (both here and England). Anyways the President takes his seat just as the match is starting. He passes through a load of people, at the end of it the only person to greet him was Barry Fry, who went out of his way to show his respects, class act. The rest of them had their head down and barely acknowledged the guy was passing through.

i do like Barry Fry he seems a genuine nice bloke and the kind of bloke you could sit have a pint or cup of tea and hear the stories he could tell

This is the best football doc ive ever seen, its like spinal tap!!! Barry Fry SALT OF THE FUKN EARTH!!!

Posh fan here,26 years at Peterborough, l personally love him👍

an absolute legend.

If there was a Premiership for optimism, enthusiasm and swearing...... Barry would have been Sir Alex and Pep Guardiola rolled into one

What a guy

" Got to be money well spent" " It is, 5"

Fantastic stuff.

He lives around the corner from me. I see him in the post office or chip shop every now and then.

‘How much? HOW MUCH!?’ I still say it in BF’s voice. Great bloke 👍🏻

great banter

Nice narrative by Sean bean, top actor and working class football fan.

i remember the wrexham game, what a goal by Kevin Russell, still havent forgiven him even after everything else he has done for us!!

Honestly, when that fellas teeth come out 😂😂

Would of loved to of had him with us at Millwall He would of fitted right in. Practically would of blended into the crowd.

Was a top prospect as a young footballer, I always thought he was niave as a manager but his teams we're hard to beat, most the time!!!!! One of them managers who worked better with nothing than spending a lot of cash. Proper man from back in the day, with character and a very humble man too, great career but it's a if only for his playing days and well done as a manager/owner put his money where his mouth is for Peterboro. Full respect for Mr Fry from me.

Barry Fry is the typical underdog: you know he's up against it but you can't help rooting for him. He looks like a stand up comedian but with hilariously bad language. Very best of luck to him.

what a character lovely bloke full of passion, nice to see peterborough at the top of league 1 at the moment with him as director class!

Met him at service station years ago...Nice bloke!!!

LOVELY!

A genuine football guy.God knows be what he makes of the money in the game today

Don't make characters like Fry anymore :( great craic.

If Del Boy was a football manager...!!!

Well just watched this & the Warnock one also back to back & my head is full of sweary words. Is this about 20 years ago? Its the last of the flat cap managers, now its Spanish Italian et all. Now the players just cry into their wallets, also it was nice to see muddy pitches in the winter, its just all too perfect now. Big Ron next!

A real manager, at a real club.

"The noisy, hard-swearing Fry is a man made for television documentary. We met him previously when he was the manager of Birmingham City. That ended in his sacking, and he moved to Peterborough. This film charts his first year in charge. Putting his money into the club, as well as his non-stop mouth, Fry starts with high ambitions. Three wins in the first 17 matches scupper both - and as the team slides farther towards relegation, the dressing-room dressing downs get fiercer and Fry's language descends from bad to appalling. But his stoic wife ("my best signing") and six children provide a domestic respite. Broadcast ITV (UK) Saturday 24 May 1997"

Amazing, jsut look where we are now

Noticed that Barry had a special bollocking for Simon Clark in that Cup defeat. Clark joined my club Leyton Orient where he didn't improve much. But Barry's comment "You cost us on Saturday you fucking fairy" was a classic.

Id pay entrance fee just to see him run up and down that touchline

03:41 Comedy Genius from those editing this programme!

THERE IS ONLY 1 BARRY FRY BLUES FAN KEPT US UP STILL A BLUE NOSE

Ned Stark on the narration! Winter is coming...

love the clip at 40:17 "GO ON MIGUEL, GO ON MIGUEL, OHHHHHH F***ING HELL!" as he does that he almost elbows a little girl alongside him in the dugout (his daughter?) in the face - makes me laugh every time i watch it!

I recorded this on VHS at the time and watched it loads. Typically Peterborough hammered Burnley on this . . . . I'm a Burnley fan 🙈

How much! how much! HOW MUCH!

Quickly Kevin do a great podcast episode on this.

There IS only one Barry Fry. Football would be in a far better place if there were a lot more Barry fry's.

A passionate man about football but was to tactics as I am to brain surgery.

When you're sitting in the pub 5 minutes before kick off and 20 minutes after. Who'd be a football manager seriously

“It only takes one person” is a shit thing to put up on the wall in a team game

that's some aggressive shaving

Ahhh... the days when Wrexham where slightly feared

Phil Neal. Good god!

Is Sean Bean narrator?

Diamond geezer! What year was this?

"Hux...fucking hopeless. Fucking hopeless as a defender, fucking hopeless as an attacker."

I would say this chap is dodgy as f, but he is one true character

That guys teeth flew out was so funny

Came here from Twitter

Is that Sean Beane narrating?

46:45 a team with a conservatory for a dugout!

2:51 his teeth fell out 😂

Twitter brought me here

Was watching this wondering why I was thinking of O2, then realised that the narrator is most probably Sean Bean..."see what you can do".

27:01 Is pure comedy, defend the fucking back post! Bollocks! lol 3:04 Fucking hopless lol free headers here, free headers there!

The players probably realised the writing was on the wall the minute Phil Neal walked in.

36min Wheeler dealer!

What a character lol

winter is coming

Bazza should have been England manager

Hahaha he spat his teeth out, Walking advertisements for brushing your teeth

Was '97

Barry seems to have no set way of playing and jumps from one idea to the next. The players seem confused and frightened to move seats for fear of reprisal. No one seems to know where they are with him.

interesting motivational technique to put the nut your left back at half time

Wait, so he was the owner, realized how fucked financially he was, sold the club, and somehow re-bought the club by 2006??

43:41 Shit firm!

snickers!!!!!!!!!! Hire a nut rishionist

2.53 hahahahha

Transfer deadline?

Barry fry ain't no saint , lots Dodgy contracts that benifited him and not the so called I've got players bk !!!

Quickly Kevin anyone?

Narrated by Ned Stark

26:11 36:16

Narrative inside appearance head egg quarterback environmental loyalty.

“Fancy a big love?” 😂

In League one hahahaha

I think I have a better connection with Barry's kids then he has

Don't worry Barry! Fergie has smashed your worst form record this season lol

Bless Barry getting De Souza and his agent asked for a bonus for reaching 30 goals a season? WTF De Souza never scored 30 goals ever period. Maybe Barry knew this was a no hoper so agreed to it. Should have gone for Gareth Seddon type or someone like that. A kid whom scored goals in lower leagues. De Souza lol

Shaves like a faker! Come on...you don't really think there's a blade in there do you?...he'd have cut himself to ribbons. He'd shaved previously..taken the blade out..soaped up again and " shaved " at hi speed for the cameras. You try shaving like that with a blade...make sure you've got plenty of tissue handy!
