John McGinlay | Undr The Cosh Poscast #48

Super #JohnMcGinlay joins the lads this week to talk through his early career in Scotland, Shrewsbury, and #Millwallfc before going on to become a #BoltonWanderers Legend.

[@capio78]

I was never a big fan of his, as he always scored against my team (Boro) and kept my hero Johnny Hendrie out of the Scotland squad, but by god he reminded me of why football was so much better 20 years ago. If footballers today had 1% of his the self respect, respect for his supporters and pride for his profession John has it would be a much better sport. Bolton fans have a true legend there.

[@mikerounds3927]

totally agree.

[@mattp8593]

Yep, agree with you totally here.

[@thepeckhampoet1909]

I remember seeing him when I was a lad watching millwall and he scared a couple and I remember thinking he's good. Then that same season he scores against us when he went to Bolton. We turned pretty quickly on him as you do. Definitely a loss losing him but then again we did have some good goal scorers at that time in Alex rea and so on.

[@thecontentlibrary5164]

Some parts of this are so hard to watch. You can see how sad he is as his realises how his kindness was taken for granted . He's a dying breed so loyal and thoughtful of others

[@Trequinho]

Most enjoyable for me, not in terms of jokes and stories but for his personality and love of the game,

[@lukeedwards8599]

100% not always about stories of getting bladdered and pranks

[@ellisgarner6496]

What a genuine and lovely guy. A true Bolton legend. I'm a die hard Blackburn Rovers fan but I used to go and watch the odd Bolton game in the 90's with my Bolton pal on the Burnden Terrace. By eck it was lively on there. Great memories. I bet Super John will be at Wembley for the final. Good luck , hopefully see you lot at Ewood next season.

[@charlies5266]

the players of today could learn a lot from the attitude of John McGinley....a dying breed....genuinely knew he was privelaged to be playing football....not entitled as so many youngsters nowadays....brilliant podcast.

[@andyforshortbutnotforlong5351]

I keep revisiting this particular podcast regularly, because I have tremendous respect for big John McGin, he was a powerful goal scorer who always gave his all for his teams, in matches & training. He’ll always be a legend to me and many others. 🤩

[@enziofrancescoli288]

I remember John playing and what a great man. The sort of attitude from a player any supporter would wish to hear. Thanks for the Podcast.

[@lambrettadaz3379]

Really enjoyed this one, what a top top bloke he seems, football runs through his veins

[@kevinbeck6785]

Brilliant again boys Top Man Jon McGinlay and Bolton through and through

[@marktaylor4940]

Still a legend in Bolton. Really enjoyed this podcast as I was a season ticket holder at Burnden in the years he played there and they were great years. Sad to hear it wasn't paid what he was worth by the club BUT as fans.. we treated him like the legend he is! Super John McGinlay!

[@OGGalleryCrew92]

Old Burnded Park Is Now Asda And A Car Park,

[@benarcher7411]

And there’s a plaque in Asda in memory of those who died in the burnden disaster absolutely disgusting

[@MirageMusicUk]

Bolton legend, they said it themselves he's a dying breed, probably a dead breed in football tbh, not having an agent was probably a bad thing for him, he deserved to be treated like a king at Bolton, by the board at the club, he was treated like a king by the fans but the people behind the scenes took advantage of his good nature and loyalty, can't believe he turned down Celtic to stay there, massive respect for him, one of Footballs good guys is John.

[@richhough6093]

What a great bloke any club would be proud to have had him in there ranks .

[@petercharnley7138]

Listened to this podcast from start to finish & thoroughly enjoyed it. John comes across as the most down to earth guy who just loves football. Absolutely fantastic :)

[@JayEFC1969]

Great interview- football needs more John McGinley's - sounds like a bloke who's put more into football than he's taken out.

[@MitchthePunk2113]

Went into watching this expecting stories about nights out etc but this was fantastic. Football needs more McGinleys. What a bloke. One of the best episodes

A very enjoyable interview. He comes across a such a nice guy and his love for the game is up there

[@lukehilton5690]

What a selfless bastard... John like browny kept saying your a dieing breed of character. Hope your financially stable... There's some players earning 50k a week who don't produce for games on end. Top interview

[@nobby10001]

Brilliant episode, what a great guy.

[@stevefielding7475]

I've been a life long Bolton fan and John is in my top 3 all time favourite players. I had a season ticket throughout his time at the club and travelled all over the country watching the whites. Bit surprised his partnership with Andy Walker wasn't mentioned and he didn't say that initially it was Roy McFarland took over from Bruce, not just Colin Todd. Audio quality was a bit low but very enjoyable watch, with lots of things I didn't know.

[@mikerounds3927]

best podcast i watched, always thought he was a decent player but he comes across as a great genuine bloke.

[@newrybhoy74]

Good shout James. Brown & Parkin's football knowledge is unbelievably bad. Brown the tit will be one of those that talks about football as if it never existed before 92 and the Premier League. It kills Sky Sports that Sheffield United and Brian Deane scored the first ever Premier league goal. As soon as he came out with that I went straight to the comments and thought "Please someone correct him. Someone mention Brian Deane and Sheffield United. Good man👍

@@stuartwaggett7316 why should you? Do you think messi knows that fact? Most footballers don’t have great football knowledge. This is a chat amongst people, this isn’t a documentary. So no you’re wrong, a podcast is about a conversation not facts. If you listen to this for facts you’re in the wrong place.

[@prideoflanarkshireMotherwellFC]

When you wiki johns record of games and goals and how he fought through the lowest leagues right to the prem he really is a “ legend “ loyal also turning down Celtic 3 times the club he supported. He is as they said a completely dying breed in the game

[@neilemackie2400]

Great interview! Comes across as a humble man. Remember his winner again Sweden even though we got battered. 👌🏻

[@deletebilderberg]

John McGinlay was one of those players who could find space in a phone box. Saw him at Luton during the Bruce Rioch years - . Best player on the pitch, in what has to be said was a very good Bolton team.

[@craigbowles9054]

Yes yes YES!!!!!! Super John👏👏

Seems a real good guy

[@Unfinishe]

I can tell you now John if you managed us someday I think I speak for all bolton fans, we would love you win or lose no matter what.

[@grizcuz]

I saw Big John play in one of his first few games for Bradford City at Maine Road, weirdly enough, exactly 24 years ago today in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. You could tell he was a Bolton legend, because there was about a dozen Bolton fans in their Bolton shirts in with the away fans, in that odd temporary (it felt temporary anyway) stand at Maine Road made out of scaffolding. The Bolton fans obviously only turned out just to support John. You wouldn't get many fans these days going to a game to support an ex player, no matter who they were or who they played for I don't think. Shame it didn't work out for him at Bradford City, I know the fans really wanted him to do well. But by the season after, Paul Jewell had replaced Kammy, we'd signed the likes of Lee Mills and Robbie Blake up front and we were Premiership bound.

[@martinwilliams5957]

Beautiful personality.and he loves that club.bolton.that is tops for me.

Teddy scored the 1st, televised goal, in a 1 - 0 win against. Liverpool. I. The Premiership goal, was scored by Brian Deane for Sheffield Utd, in a 1 - 1 draw against the defending champions Leeds, 🤔 I think. It may not have been Leeds but it was definitely Brian Deane.

[@hernan5940]

I've heard Shilton had to keep playing to pay for gambling debts....or to recover the losses or something like that

[@johnathanryan2117]

Rioch never asked Wright to play like McGinlay. What he did want to get across to Wright was how to work wiser in wide positions, something Mcginlay excelled at and Rioch thought Wright could improve there. The silence of the Arsenal players, or at least their acceptance of this version as true, wrongs Rioch immensely That said, Rioch shouldve stayed at Bolton , his Bolton stint is now seen with rose tinted spectacles but its worth remembering he left Bolton when they needed him most and is not the faultless semi god he is made out to be. Good memories, proper players from the last proper era.

[@philblair125]

Super John. Legend before I watched this but even more so now. Humble, Modest, Loyal and out of the same mould as Nat Lofthouse. This for me just showed the difference between the modern day footballer and the old school pre Bosman and pre Premier League. One John was only interested in football whilst listen to that big numpty Parkin and you get the impression all he cares about is £$£££. Not only that he was a pretty crap forward and his performances in front of the camera are equally embarrsaing.
