Episode Notes

They may not share the same political views (as we soon find out!) but Alastair Cambell does have a lot in common when it comes to his shared love of sport with Beefy and Bill.


The 'King of Spin' lifts the lid on what it was like to be a part of the 2005 Lions squad, how Steve Thompson nearly discovered the next Prime Minister before anyone else and an infamous Clive Woodward initiated team-talk that had Martin Corry wanting to 'lay me out'.


Plus what happened when Campbell took Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson to watch Burnley at Hartlepool and which Championship football team is Ian starting to follow?


We're now a video podcast too, you can watch each episode on YouTube as well as listening on all your podcast platforms,
