Best episode in a while this one. Had me howling at times. Proper old school is Bally.

[@lfc290]

Bally the Wally?

[@normanhaggerston8709]

Bally was Mr Sunderland, worshipped by the fans and loved the club, absolute legend

[@bramwelch4874]

Intros are the best bit, I love hearing Parkin talk about how much he hates football

[@ja-ks8dh]

What a quality speaker by the way. Comes across brilliant. What a player to have in your team.

[@FTMJarra]

Top bloke Bally, had a bit craic with him in local Asda after a defeat vs Boro, he stood and talked with me for a good 15mins, smashing fella

[@WestEast198]

Superb podcast, one of the best yet. Not a supporter of any of his clubs either but you can tell his passion and determination for the cause is what every team needs. Was in stitches at his team mate’s winding him up with the yearly captaincy vote (he’s not invited) 😅

great to listen to a pro not talking about booze and wasting ability well done Mr Ball

[@Mackem67]

Now Boot Bally Bally is one of SUNDERLAND players that never will be forgotten,his name will be passed on in conversation from father to son in years to come, He's a SUND'LAND legend, I was privileged to meet him after we won promotion at Barnsley away, I've still got the scarf he gave my son in the dressing room after the game. That's what SUNDERLAND are lacking at the moment, a great leader, heart on sleeve,

[@happyChappy96621]

Honestly I’m not a Sunderland fan and Ball was too young to appreciate Ball when I was growing up but I’ve got to say what a class act this man is.

[@niallwilliams8833]

Carttermole next please!!

[@mikelitorous5570]

Smashing cars with cricket bats in Newcastle city centre with bendtner sounds a laugh

[@benarcher7411]

Kevin ball has morphed into Peter hook

[@ShalomBrother]

😂

[@alanp.thompson]

Took bloke Kevin ball meet him once in PC World in Sunderland come across as down to earth bloke. Always a good leader on the pitch to.

[@Jaaskelainen1993]

Top episode fellas. You're still smashing it years later.

[@mikelitorous5570]

Bally holding the championship trophy with one hand is one of the coolest pictures out there

[@jackshaw1588]

Met bally about 10 year ago down Durham. We were watching the Sunderland game and him and couple of his mates sat the next table across from me and my friend. He's such a down-to-earth fellow, shows genuine interest in getting to know you, spoke well to everyone that approached him, top gent.

[@shaunroche3280]

Best episode ever! Bally is an absolute Legend, absolutely love him. I remember being at home but I can't remember if it was against QPR or Wimbledon and I can't remember which way round it was, but it involved Vinnie Jones and Razor...think it was Razor first who'd been put on Bally and was attempting to kick him all over, but I remember seeing him go, nah, had enough of this as Bally had him in his pocket...Vinnie then comes on with Devil eyes and snorting and attempts to put Bally in his place.....ten minutes later I see him shake Bally's hand and go no that's it I've had enough, and every time the ball came near him he looks up to see Bally chasing him down and he just kept getting rid of it, totally stopped him from playing. Awesome stuff. Vinnie and Razor hardest men in football? Haha, no chance, not that day!

[@willpiper7880]

Love the intros - you're the reason why we've been listening since 2018 so no need al all to cut your intro short :D

[@paulearley2970]

It's a long watch, but great a great one. Kevin lived down my road when he played for Pompey and always had time for us when we were playing football in the street. He used to show us a few tricks one of which was heading the ball against the kerb repeatedly really fast. We were well impressed. I still wouldn't be able to do it today. Ha ha. A great guy.

[@hiitdon8630]

10:11 if a player doesn’t have that kind of desire it means playing football isn’t for him

[@keithavery9669]

Tremendous podcast, so lucky to have watched most of his games at Sunderland and he was an absolute legend and what a warrior ⚽️⚽️⚽️

[@stuartwilliams1146]

Kevin Ball absolute legend🔴⚪️🔴⚪️

[@stevenhenzell8964]

Love Kevin Ball one of the best I seen at Sunderland

[@lmillssafc]

Just finished watching it. A TRUE Safc Legend(but we knew that already). EVERY Sunderland team should have a ‘Bally’. So on point with his views regarding the game and what makes a team successful. Passion, committment, dedication, performances and standards. We’ve never replaced him in my opinion. Yeah people go on about Cattermole, but i honestly think Bally delivered so much more. Add to that he bleeds Red n White just makes him even more of a crucial part of our history. Another quality UTC interview. Well played again Chris and the lads. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@lmillssafc]

Love the introductions lads, fuck the haters, sets up the interview nicely.

[@pompeymackem]

Oh Bally Bally!! One of me all time favorites.

[@mrperfectedkelly]

Would love you guys to have Neville Southall on 😊

[@kingbeastie]

Nev would have so many great stories. He's played with and against some great players. I'd love to see him as a guest too, great shout.

[@scottanderson6782]

If there's one bloke I would want to lead my team into battle, without a doubt it's Bally. Hard as fucking nails.

[@michaelcooper9705]

Great episode. Never knew Charlie from Casualty was such a hard nut 😯 All those who don't like the intro or do not have time to watch it just do what I do and fast forward it. Simple.

[@reecebarnes5973]

I'm a Newcastle fan, but I no Kevin Ball quite well and he's told me a few of these stories before and he's quite funny but he's such a nice bloke untill winds me up about Newcastle but I expect nothing less of him 😂
