Greatest jockey in history. The sheer bloody mindedness to win and his understanding of horses is incredible

A P McCoy won so many races where it was his pure ability that won the race not the horse, best jockey ever without a doubt and a great humble man!

The unusual thing about this man is not his drive longevity or talent (as vast as they are) its that , although he had all those things in abundance , he's retained a sense of humility that I've rarely if ever seen among those at the top of their profession.

AP has got me out of trouble more times than I can remember. Top man.

The Greatest Jump jockey in history without a doubt,and there has been quite a few.A remarkable rider who was 20yrs top rider in succession.Tony had the knack to judge a race,win on horses that others couldn’t win on.A real champion of the sport.

In my opinion he’s in the top 5 sportsman that I have ever seen

Really enjoyed that interview . Footballers are spoilt when you see what McCoy has been through

Best one yet. I was gripped the whole interview and I don't even like horse racing. what a man ap is.

AP and J Francome. The greatest ever.

Sir Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber ✊ Another great guest Sir AP McCoy after last week great interview with Graeme Souness.

Absolute brilliant could have gone another hour listening to AP, Thanks Simon 🐎🐎

A Great intelligent interview ,much love to AP and Mr Jordan from Ireland 🇮🇪

What a brilliant interview. Thanks guys. AP is quite remarkable.

AP is a true great and very humble The fact he doesn’t want to be called Sir makes him more worthy Doesn’t do any harm that he is from the same part of the world as me Simon you are killing it with these interviews and as a huge boxing fan, I thoroughly hope you het involved and make it better, as it is a bit of a mess really to put it kindly Great chat!

Simon Jordan is next level, FairPlay - brilliant interview

Interview top class. What makes a top jockey is small details like feel for the horse. Information they provide to trainer like ground conditions, dist a horse prefers, how to be ridden from behind, mid div, front run and the horse ability what type of race to run in. McCoy like Walsh, piggott, eddery brilliant at that as well as the drive. McCoy remarkable. V.v few mistakes. Also I remember watching a type of superstars program. A very young hollie Doyle so tiny remarkably beat top arsenal women's footballers on fitness tests like squats, running etc. Fitness Coachs couldn't believe what they were seeing and me also. You have to be really fit to handle racehorses. AP is a proper legend equally for his info he reports after a race as much as riding in it. Legend a word used to much in this case he is.

Northern Ireland- Less than 2 million people , world champions in snooker, boxing, golf, world player of the year in football, best jockey ever! regardless of whatever religious nonsense

Indubitably, as a kindred Simon, I am veritably enamored by the magnificence of the podcast you host, and your astute inquisitiveness certainly leaves an indelible impression on the mind. Whilst it may be contended that the copious lexicon that we share may elude the comprehension of certain individuals, it is not within our purview to mollify the uninformed. Forsooth, we are here to impart knowledge and stimulate cogitation amongst the intellectually astute.

The nearly dead part I had to watch a few times. Dying of laughter 😂

Jockeys are some of the most underappreciated spots people about

AP is a top guy and this interview just shows that even more.

Great interview. Much respect for you both.

Simon…. This series is brilliant. Love listening to you!

Excellent stuff yet again from Simon. This weekly podcast along with the one to one's are real treat. Much respect from Dublin.

Another great interview. Will always disagree he was the greatest just because he road the most winners but his will to win, determination and strength of character are to be hugely admired, great interview again.

Loving this new podcast so far

Och that was a grand wee conversation, AP is such a gentleman and seriously solid bloke... Simons phone book must be a who's who of who's who, can't wait for the next one

Another great interview, really good these. Don’t know much about horse racing, but this guy is a top bloke 👏🏼

Nice. Another premium quality interview.

What an amazing interview with a true driven spotsman

Dorian Yates would make a great guest.. He turned down a MBE.. Simon quickly becoming the goat, another excellent interview..

So many greats from the wee Northern Ireland

Have zero interest in horse racing, so, Simon Jordan was the only reason I watched,however, it was a brilliant episode and AP seems like a genuinely humble but astonishing man

Excellent viewing, thank you

Great interview

fantastic jump jockey always used to look in racing post and see what AP was on.

great podcast AP is a legend and a top bloke

If only Simon was as intelligent in his choice of bling as he is, in his choice of words....😁 A.P, great man!! 👏👏👏

I’ve always said this about AP McCoy “He could get a three legged donkey home”

Another great podcast

A great interview with AP, Simon maybe you could try interview his old boss one of the greatest owners in the business John P McManus i think that would be an amazing interview

An amazing rider.

Top Notch, Thanks Gents

Legend of the sport

Great Podcast

Great interview lads AP the LEGEND and a fellow GOONER COYG❤️❤️

Loving your new channel Simon, AP is a legend and you've done him justice in this interview...the only other sportsman I can compare him to is Valentino Rossi.

Simon an interview with Dominic Ingle would be a belter.

I enjoyed this one. Getting better boys 🎉

Be Your Own Light. A brilliant podcast. Thank you.

Brilliance ❤

Let me know if Simon managed to square that circle

Without doubt the greatest driven jockey. The greatest horseman was J Francome, but he never had APs drive.

Speaks more than Simon… deserves an MBE for that. Great stuff

Greatest sportsman ever to operate in Britain, as tough as they come and a complete obsession to be the best. It’s been a privilege to watch his career.

APM won so many races on average horses. He rode at courses that were not grade 1 level. Simon has to realise that the great jockey's have the skills, horsemanship, and iron will to get over the line first.

Simon 'that circle's been squared jordan'

Simon = Top Lad, Proper Clobber

AP won me a fortune... top bloke and jockey. Thanks for the memories.

Greatest jockey.

AP "Yeah yeah" McCoy

"Hes nearly dead" 😂

Great podcast. Annoying at the start because Simon kept interrupting! We all became fans of certain teams because of the FA cup final. 1979 I became a Gooner too! It is remarkable that AP is in one piece!

Greatest sportsperson of all time. Absolutely no question

Did this guy own a football club? You’d never know eh!

Simon Jordan and Ruby Walsh would be a great interview

In every single interview he throws in a line about him buying Crystal Palace…we know Mr. Jordan,

Truly incredible, unique talent in national hunt jockeyhood. Complete tunnel vision and dedication to his craft. Quite predictably those character traits make him dull as dishwater on TV.

Simon loves squaring a circle

I'm an old man and I loved Lester and Francome. However I'd ban the whip altogether. Great jockeys don't need it.

“Square the circle “ alert

The question of horse welfare is not the horse who is at a yard and well looked after , its the horses that have been breed that don't make it same in greyhound racing the amount that are put down is freighting.

Am a big fan of Simon, generally. But let your guests talk more. Interrupt less. Loves the sound of his own voice a bit too much. Enjoying this series nonetheless.

GOAT !

this fella got me out of jail a few times

Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber

"Kenny Samson...💪......all day......" Get his name right Simon.😀

Why did the producer not tell Simon that the ann summers Label on his wig is showing

Nice to see a channel interviewing people who are worthy of an in depth interview and not these crack pot conspiracy people.

W

Questions need to be more concise Simon. Too much time spent talking about Palace and your own success. Will keep watching and hope this improves. Big fan of your work.

Its Northern Ireland not the north of Ireland

i understand simons point about the horse or the formula 1 car should get all the credit but as a life long formula 1 fan i can offer you abit more on that (not the horse racing) before formula 1 drivers get to formula 1 they have a long career of racing starting at karts when they are literally children, from there you HAVE TO PROVE you are quick before you get a sniff at a good kart/car going forward. Fast forward years, if you are good enough you may end up in formula 2 (main formula 1 support race) and in this series the cars are all stock meaning besides minor setup changes they are all THE SAME. So obviously beating your competitors in the same machinery is the best way to prove your talent and 99% of people who end up in formula 1 do well in this series or equivalent. Then you come to formula 1 where obviously some cars are better than others but then its absolutely no coincidence that the drivers who did the best in the support classes usually end up in the best cars... this isn't an accident where you can just put everything down to luck, its a result of proving your speed over your life time, beating people in the same cars and earning your position. Then when you get to formula 1.. it isn't just 1 driver in the best car.. its 2.. so why then do we get people dominating their teammates year in year out? (hamilton/schumacher) Its because they are not only quick over 1 lap like most f1 drivers.. the level of consistency is quite literally robotic, imagine driving a 60 lap race and every single lap you drive being on the limit and every lap being within a second of each other.. this is what separates the elites from the world class because some drivers just cant maintain it. Ayrton senna talked about driving unconsciously and being so at 1 with the car he no longer had to think, only the elite drivers can take themselves into this space and stay there. A good example of this would be hamilton vs rosberg.. rosberg beat lewis hamilton to the 2016 F1 title and this would be his only F1 title because he retired after that season. He said he retired because beating hamilton over just one season took too much out of him. It drained him mentally, physically, emotionally and he admitted that he couldn't summon that out of himself again. Meanwhile freaks of nature like hamilton, schumacher and now max can just do it week in week out, they are quite literally robots that are built different and the out of this world speed they produce comes so easy that it would blow the minds of mortals like us. Now i know this is a long one, but some people really really don't understand what it is to be successful in F1. but put incredibly simply... the best drivers will always end up in the best cars because they are the only ones who can take it to its potential.

Anyone know where simon was born or comes from and what he did for a living? Hardly mentions it his so secretive

Wouldn’t matter if an unelected queen thought or didn’t that horse racing was cruel

Get Peter crouch on

A P is THE GREATEST EVER SPORTSMAN, 20 Years champion at his sport,with broken backs and broken everywhere, know one comes.close🎉

AP is a living legend. Simple as that. The greatest NH jockey of all time and with a will to win that’s rarely seen. What a stupid question and theory from SJ about whether you can be a great sportsman aided by a horse for a jockey or a car for race drivers! What a complete numpty. It’s surely even harder to get everything right on a powerful horse running and jumping at 35 miles an hour with all the other factors to consider such as the ground conditions, pace, dodgy jumpers, other horses around you and fallers, rather than an individual sportsperson looking after himself or herself. Anything Palace related is almost irrelevant and boring to listen to in the context of this interview.

GOAT

Not an easy interview to watch that. AP was twitchy and the rapport just wasn't there like it was with Souness and Bellew.

have no interest in hors riding, just listening for SJ

Poor research (if any) from Jordan , didn't even know that jump jockeys are always heavier and taller than flat jockeys , must do better

Why is he a sir?

His wife must be a saint

Simon you need to stop cutting him off when hes talking. Good interview otherwise

Ian dowie is English he just happened to play for N.Ireland. You hired and fired him I think you would have known Simon.

Simon a man I greatly respect. Can’t hide my disappointment with your choice of sponsor though. Can’t watch

Simon can be a dick. Would Maradonna be known for greatness if he’d played at Arbroath his entire career? Of course great jockeys are great jockeys regardless of the horse they are on. They’ll always get the best of any horse they ride.

Bryony Frost being abused was "media driven". What a load of bollocks Anthony.

We need some MUFC people
