The Chairman Tapped My House - David Hodgson

[@simonsmith740]

This is consistently the most interesting pod I watch ... and I watch a few. The lads aren't from superstar backgrounds and the guest are solid footie people .....quality combination

[@jacobscarr2334]

''He wanted to pay me cash'' ... what was his background? ''he was a bank robber'' 🤣🤣

[@davidhodgson3901]

Best named guest ever on the show…

[@geekboymeta7381]

Pulling the directors trousers down steaming drunk 😂😂😂😂 I’ve literally got tears in my eyes! Great episode lads 👍🏾

[@colonelbean]

We need a part 2 to hear the rest of the George Reynolds stories!

[@PeaveyPV20]

Mass ive plus one, reynolds was barmy and tales about his antics are often good entertainment

[@simonjohnson721]

One of the best to do it……..Worked with him for 18 months and never did see him fall out with anyone, just brilliant.

[@howwwwwyyyyy]

I remember him, never really did much at Liverpool

[@robwood8331]

How great to have known Bob Paisley like that eh ....one of footballs legends.

[@lloyddossantos1800]

Thanks guys another quality episode

[@RichieCooke]

need to get hodgy back on for more Darlo/ Reynolds stories - gutted there wasn't many but a brilliant watch/ listen nonetheless. absolute Darlo legend.

[@robwood8331]

Darlo people are great people it has to be said. Their banter is off the charts funny

[@stephenclarke8876]

What a lovely fella hodgy is ,I remember him well from my time at darlo very fondly and it is true that George did come to each member of staff and asked us how much the club owed us,mine was 3 months pay. I just wish that hodgy had stayed because my son signed for darlo on a pro contract just after he left and I know he would have excelled under hodgy.

Dave Hodgson Darlington legend

[@nellski2004]

One of the best 👏👏👏👏

[@garypearn7010]

Topman Hodgy...my mate when he was at sunderland and Boro...great lad 👍😉

[@hirdy9]

Part 2 needed. Barely touched the surface with the Darlo stuff

[@keithavery9669]

Absolutely tremendous guest lads 👏👏👏👏👏👏 top top bloke

[@Jasonj___8]

Never knew Bob Paisley was South African 😂😂😂😂⚽️

[@lenla123]

Definitely needs a part 2 to go over his managerial career properly. Be good to hear more about George and the stories about some of the older pros which I think he brought in, Bobby Peta, Phil Stamp, Clyde Wijnhard, Craig Hignett, Alun Armstrong ect.

[@NobletheSavage]

Please get him back. He skipped over his other international experiences and I want to hear more about George and poor Darlington.

[@MrRadixlecti]

Top episode that lads , what a great storyteller .

[@stevedavies5615]

Oooops I missed out loved Dave Hodgson as a fella 👍🏻

[@robwood8331]

Agree with players getting what they can get but there should be a wage cap now its absolutely insane and has destroyed our game.

[@tomthomas9708]

Just watched some video of him. He looked genuine quality. Surprising he didn't make it at Liverpool.

[@chrisbaenes445]

Well done lads great player and a great interview really enjoyed that 👏

[@MSykesy1986]

Get a part 2 done with Hodgy. So much more about Darlo he could talk about. Local hero!!

[@philipcurnow7990]

I've got quite a bit of Boro stuff from 74. Papers. Season team specials, local press etc. Grandfather was ex keeper. Returned to his roots and retired in Saltburn.

[@iangriffiths6398]

Need to get Gary Brabin, the man, the myth, the legend on the podcast. He would have some box office stories!

I think it was Lloyd Owusu who said he's a prick, stabbed Richard Money in the back to get the Luton job.

[@iangriffiths6398]

John Neal the Best Manager Wrexham ever had. Yet another Brilliant Podcast

[@jimmystokoe6917]

And Sunderland fan was John NE lad

[@Spectrescup]

I'm prepared to say he is my favourite Chelsea manager to this day. They'd be no Chelsea now if it wasn't for John Neal. Bought Nevin , Dixon, Speedie, Spackman, for next to nothing.

[@stevedavies5615]

Oh I know he was North East. Never lost his accent. After Footy he stayed In the Wrexham area. Unfortunately at the end he had ill health the Footballers curse Dementia 😢😢😢

I'm sure they called them trainers back in the day. Basically a man with a bucket and sponge😂

Has Browny cleaned his gaff yet?

I don't even think the boys were convinced by his stories....

[@jadeluke296]

Please get a guest on that we've heard of. Tiger Woods, Zinedine Zidane, Susan Boyle. Someone famous please. Plus many, many Tottenham players. Only have Caulker and Clive Allen. Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov, Gareth Bale. Those would be good. Thanks all the best. God bless. Best wishes. Anonymous xx

[@salmankhan-ht5lf]

Which football club did Tiger Woods ad Susan Boyle play for? Given it's a football podcast. You have to appreciate there are players in the lower divisions who offer some great stories.

[@FozzQuaker]

George Reynolds certainly was an interesting person...Get Hodgy back for a part 2...just to talk about George Reynolds

Liverpool wouldn’t have been in the fa cup in November, 3rd round of the fa cup is always in January

[@andyh8095]

He did not say they played Liverpool in November. Darlington did draw Liverpool in the third round, which would have been played in the Jan. The first game against Rochdale was on the 2nd of Dec. Then there was a replay later in December. Hodgy was a couple of days out on recollection. Shame on you for questioning his integrity.

[@QuickyA2011]

Nice fella but if he is bring honest, the reason he failed at Liverpool was because he wasn't good enough. That's it.

[@QuickyA2011]

Being *

[@QuickyA2011]

Of course there isn't. He was just trying to paint a different picture I.e. ahead of rushy at one point. He wasn't.

[@QuickyA2011]

To be fair, that wasn't how I interpreted it but I suspect, you are right on that.

[@QuickyA2011]

I remember him playing. I watched him. He wasn't very good at all. I was just adding some first hand context to this idea that he was somehow hard done to. Seemed to be making a load of excuses I.e. no physio, needed an arms round me, got an injury, could have been great. I'm very chill. He seems a nice fella, but the reality was he wasn't anywhere nesr good enough for us. No problem is disgrace in that. H3 should just say so.

[@philreeves7520]

Apparently, the staff at Liverpool were of the opinion that Sammy Lee was coming towards the end of his career and wanted him to be his replacement, but they always kept the players guessing about what their intentions were.
