Si Ferry Meets... Stiliyan Petrov - Life and Times at Celtic, Seville, Larsson, Winning Team Spirit

This week we are joined by former Celtic midfield dynamo, Stiliyan Petrov as he talks Si through his life at the club, from struggling early doors with a £6k phone bill he couldn’t pay off to becoming the heartbeat of a Celtic side that would go onto win numerous silverware and reach the Final of the UEFA Cup!
Stan is fantastically reflective on his career as he provides many humorous insights into the characters and managers he played with who drove the club to such success during his time there.
The Bulgarian also poignantly touches on his battle with illness a few years ago and the new found appreciation of life which he enjoys and how he uses his time to help raise awareness and funds for vital research in aiding those with the same illness in which he suffered.

[@allanneill3200]

I find it hilarious when foreign players have a wee bit of a Scottish accent when they speak. These interviews are class, not seen a bad one yet 👍🏻

[@celtichailhail4525]

These interviews are bringing the old firm together si kp it up.never seen a bad word about a ex player from either side of the old firm and no bickering in the comments from both sides brilliant stuff. every one has been class

[@ciaran134]

[@steventodd704]

Inspirational! I hated when he played against us!!

[@nathanenglish6151]

What an absolute belter, great stuff Si!! x

[@Naefukabootio]

Cracking interview, well done. Stan the Man is one of my all time favourite Celtic players. I loved the stories of Lambert sorting the midfield out before the Liverpool game and Bobo going tonto in the dressing room and Stan looking for the scissors to stab him! XD

[@pri2816]

Whether I previously liked or disliked them I’ve came away with a much higher opinion of every player that’s been interviewed here.

[@ajjohnstone7063]

Great interview. Love so many positive comments from Rangers fans. Just a game. Nowt to do with sectarianism. We can win the battle! I'd like an Albertz interview. His Scottish accent is brilliant.

[@KingB832]

6:44 when he says "nothing else" it sounds completely Scottish lol
