Kevin Phillips | Golden Boot Winner, and Keegan Wouldn't Give Me A Chance

[@bertiew6771]

It's so rare to find a player that is respected by fans of every single club he played for. A proper pro and a real quality player.

[@Blackit87]

To win the European golden boot playing for Sunderland man. Exceptional. What a guy.

[@Blackit87]

Sunderland fan through and through and the buzz through the club with him and Quinn up front was unbelievable. Proper deadly duo. Not even the best teams could deal with them. They would of been bottom of most peoples list as a deadly strike partnership but my word they were something else. That's when the stadium was rocking.

[@davyg11]

I remember doing a PowerPoint presentation on Kevin Phillips when I was at school after he had that 30 goal season - absolute legend and pleased I got to meet him at a do at The Alexandra pub in Sunderland. 👌

[@markmchale7538]

Haha I had to do one about Jermaine Defoe, saying how much I would love him to come to Sunderland, I only had to wait 15 years for it to happen 😂

[@manraisedbypuffins9080]

90s kid, arsenal supporter, but fuck me yeh, Kevin Phillips was some player. Cracking interview there lads

[@davidmoffatt181]

Seen Kevin Phillips live at Villa Park for Aston Villa strong and fast gave it 100% effort. Great story re my fellow irish man Niall Quinn.

[@Thehards3ll]

I might be a tad biased being a Sunderland supporter in my 30s but Super Kev is absolutely my favourite player ever. So underrated in football but he was class

[@LeftWinger9]

Kevin is spot on about that West Brom side in 06,07, they had Jason Koumas, Diomansy Kamara, Paul Robinson, Phillips, Gera, Curtis Davies was good at the time, brilliant to watch under Mowbray

[@hacqueman4999]

Brum fan I remember this team, very good side , kamara was unplayable that season

[@mdg1867]

Really enjoyed that one, one of my favourites. Speaks really well.

[@Ironsmiler]

I remember this bloke in his twilight swanning around doing nowt apart from scoring an effortless hat trick against Scunny at West Brom. Top class.

[@enzoorsi2032]

What a performance, love your show and your support for the greatest club in the world, we are on our way with Palmer as our talisman 🧿 come on you blues.

[@jonstockell1944]

As a young kid i loved watching him and quinn as a partnership they were brilliant together . . Big man winning all the headers and a little rocket running on

[@jamiesmith4209]

Love this man to bits, watching that unreal WBA team as a young kid he was my hero🙌he’d be worth millions in todays game

[@rickyb5499]

Very good podcast, yet again. Kevin came over so honestly and brilliant. Fantastic player, good luck to the guy 👍

[@brumsgrub8633]

I'm a birmingham fan, he didn't play long for us and he was older, but he was absolutely brilliant and you could tell that he was a top player.

[@jack8988]

He was class for blues KRO 💙

[@markmchale7538]

Judging from what the fans I've talked to, it seems like he's the only player liked by Villa, City and Albion

[@brianbarlow-se2mr]

one of the best players we have ever had the pleasure of watching. And a gentleman with it.

[@joeseville6269]

Still such a professional. Great player and hopefully manager, deserves a good appointment

[@OJSCollectables]

Just met him at Birmingham Airport 😂 top bloke and great footballer in his time 👌🏻⚽️ For His age now you would think he was still playing as the he is in great shape still 👏🏻

[@KevinWhite-cx9st]

Absolutely top guy. Got chatting to him and his mate, a brummy but can’t remember his name, in a restaurant in Marbella as was on the table next to me and ended up out all night with them. Really genuine, down to earth guy and a cracking player

You wernt out all night with them where you though, that was a lie.

[@Geokinkladze]

It's not a huge stretch, I had a similar experience with Steve Bruce. Some people just like to have a drink and meet new people sometimes.

@@Geokinkladzeok. I met him in a bar aswell and stayed out all night with him, do you believe me?

[@Geokinkladze]

No. I don't think he'd like you for some reason.

@@Geokinkladze but he likes hangers on who annoy him when hes out drinking then decides to spend all night with total Strangers?😂😂😂

[@ImYourHuckleberry_29]

I remember his time at Sunderland and subsequent clubs. Dude was a goal machine.

[@themadmistake]

Absolutely class that lads

[@capio78]

I was listening and walking the dog in the rain, and I couldn't believe how much he sounded like Beckham, then I realised the rain had set the podcast had set to .75% speed. Try it, its uncanny.

[@garethsanders7929]

Will never forget that goal against Chelsea second year going with me granda 9 year old still remember it like it was yesterday probably will never see a better first half performance

[@thomasshaw4525]

The man who made me fall in love with Blues! First game ever in 2008 vs Sheff Utd sat up in the Gil Merrick upper with my dad 90th minute winner from KP🤩 KRO 💙

[@stuartd5166]

Very likeable guy. I remember being a kid, finishing a game, going to my nans and itv had Watford v Luton on. Phillips scored and the commentator said he was working in Dixons warehouse last week, that has always stuck with me. Great goalscorer and love him for scoring that penalty that took us to the premier league. 🦅

[@MarcDonald-t1t]

I'm a Newcastle fan and when him and quinn were up front they were a great partnership, we both had good sides so the derbys were great coz if we beat them it felt better that we beat a good side, they were having a good season and they messed up by not building on the team, and it caught up with them with fatigue and injuries if they had of got a couple of players who knows what they might of achieved

[@matthewhanlon2039]

Going to be a painful watch as a Hartlepool Fan, completely disrespected by pools, deserved more of a chance

[@Bantampete]

Nice enjoyable listen to matters #bcafc with Gaz & Jase in positive mood about the season ahead

[@MirageMusicUk]

Was a pleasure to watch him at Bloomfield road, we had a lot of pessimistic naysayers when we signed him too, he still had class and really top bloke always got time for his fans.

[@davidlawrencegraham6722]

what a player and what a fella kev is : )

[@markpureplumbers3955]

The great Charlie Hurley gets a mention rip one of Millwalls and Sunderlands finest

[@danwilkinson9001]

I’m a Newcastle fan and I always rated him 👍

[@bigsim5279]

Those 2 years at Albion were special. Super Kev, best finisher we've seen up there. We were stupid not to of given him the 2 years he wanted.

[@markwestwood3339]

Your loss was Birmingham's gain. Superb player for Blues. 👍

[@chrish3030]

I watched that 2nd Chelsea game with a diehard Sunderland fan overseas, not sure the hotel had seen or heard anything like it.

[@tuberjr]

great interview......really honest lad and hardworking too.

[@quimmysaville6790]

Loved him at palace. Scored obviously the pen that got us promoted but swung the game against posh that got us into playoffs. And a goal at Watford that clawed us at point. Great pro and bloke

[@colingriffiths221]

Loved him at the Albion. Wish we kept him longer.

[@geoff2671]

Absolute Sunderland legend 🔴⚪️

[@ismith9826]

Loved the Peter Reid era- Quinn Philips Superb!! Interesting that Philips credits Tony Mowbray so much too.

[@รอสส์ค็อกซ์]

Loved you as one of the best forwards to grace the west Brom pitch , excellent pal thankyou.

[@Rossboy2112]

That Phillips and Quinn partnership from 1999/2000 was very underrated in my opinion Jeffers was not on a free lol he cost us £10 million and scored 4 goals in 3 seasons he was crap 💩 at Arsenal his goal vs Chelsea at the stadium of light in a 4.1 win was my favourite goal Kevin scored that season the volley im an Arsenal fan we demolished them at Highbury 4.1 Henry and Suker scored 2 each Suker’s first goal was unbelievable the lob ❤

[@neilfrancis4468]

Good player,really rated him. Shame his time at Villa was stalled by niggling injuries.

[@ollyglenday6561]

Another great episode this is my favourite podcast by far absolutely hilarious all the time

[@jamiebanner3000]

There was 3 forwards throughout the 90s that was a step ahead of everybody else. In the early 90s David Hirst, in the mid 90s Matthew Letissier, in the late 90s Kevin Phillips. They were the best forwards in the country at the time. All seemed to be ruled out… Kevin winning the golden boot, it doesn’t matter what club you play for… Sunderland was playing all the same league teams as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea Liverpool. So club and league positions shouldn’t really matter… Matthew having like three top goals of the season. Crazy… And David getting approached by Alex Ferguson, and made a record bid for him. And Alex had good reason for that. Nobody had ever offered that much for a player before. See even Alex thought he was the best forward at the time. Even though Graham Taylor didn’t. But he was hot on fire. Ruled by journalism, I think a bit of it is Manager’s do get pressure from the media on who to pick. Because if it goes wrong… Also TV pundits always give their opinion . And it was always Alan Shearer, Teddy, Sheringham, and Michael Owen.

[@nicknewey6152]

I love Kevin Phillips, absolute top pro

[@Anthska]

Super Super Kev super Kevin Phillips!!!!!

[@MarkPitsmoorOwl]

Great player I always Rated him Some of the goals he scored for Sunderland was amazing My Hero was David Hirst at Sheffield Wednesday back in the late 80s/early 90s great player he could have gone to Man Utd but he stayed you don’t get much loyalty in football nowadays

[@DanielLudlam-f1w]

Yessssss fooking love this!!!

[@tombee6891]

Super, super Kev!

[@marcduggins7337]

Great episode. But disappointed that his time at Birmingham didn’t get mentioned where he scored a fair few and won a league cup. Poor that.

[@thesatisfiedcustomer4869]

bizarre that.

[@raphaeldelaghetto4]

Weird that.

[@TVsez]

Strange that

[@dizzydazed8055]

peculiar that

[@craig9180]

Cry about it and enjoy league 1

[@geordie2597]

Natural striker . Great fella

[@johnmitchell2269]

We were in the second tier when we signed him from Baldock, not League 1. A few seasons later I remember watching him score a hat trick at the Vic Road End against Bristol City. We got such a low fee for him. Baldock Town to European Golden Boot, crazy.

[@barneybernado1998]

What a class bloke, massively underrated Arsena wenger should have bought him

[@DoubtingThomas88]

Massively undervalued, it’s criminal how underrated Kevin Philips was in this country, I’ve said it before and I’ll carry on saying it favouritism will always be Englands downfall

[@saintcoxyboy]

He scored the winner in a south coast derby, would have been good to hear about that.

[@tonyantoniou9271]

Kevin come back and tell the lads the truth that under the cosh is the best !

[@garethwilliams2897]

Hopefully see you soon in Hammerwich Kev.

[@mattmorgan4083]

Guests have been great

[@Timekeeper1200]

Surprised he didnt get a big move around the turn of the Millennium. Although most of the big clubs were stacked with strikers back then

[@adambelton8972]

Great to see Craig Philips doing so well

[@RichardMason-gj9ue]

He was brilliant super Kev

[@JohnCutler-ks6zb]

What a player, have to be honest, hated him as a Wolves fan as he scored so many goals against us, especially when he was at the Albion, but an outstanding player !!

[@thomasmaxwellshore]

Ian Wright. Kevin Phillips. Jamie Vardy. If your a league one/two/ even National League striker you can still make it to the top!

[@mitchellsaunders3546]

Absolute legend of a man and a player…. But anyone else call him Kevin Phillips Bong in their head after the Monty Python sketch ?

[@TimboTravels]

Great episode love Super Kev

[@peter-w6g]

Mind Summerbee and Johnstone were handy suppliers.

[@VillaBoys123]

Kevin Ball. Legit psychopath. I don't think a nutmeg warrants a broken leg.

[@MirageMusicUk]

Agree, hated how everyone was laughing at that, that's disgraceful behavior.

[@matthewsmith8727]

I played non league we had a 41 year old defender who broke a lads ankle because he scored a chip penalty during a kick around some guys are brutal

[@MikeBarry100]

Him and James Beattie were very good together at Saints . Remember them destroying City at The Etihad

[@AB-st7tr]

Another cracking vid ❤

[@petercampbe11]

what a top guy

[@stecurrell5863]

He comes across as a really nice guy with no "the big i am",as a pools fan just wish he was given a chance as i feel he would have been great for the club.

[@simonblues1]

BCFC …. WHAT A PLAYER 🎉 total respect

[@jaydentate6080]

😂he looks ten years younger than he did in th 90s hair dye is a great thing top podcast btw

[@richiewarren547]

Used to watch Kev down the albion. Was a Great player for us 👌

[@nigelsimms4772]

We've struggled to get anyone near his predatory instincts. Great day out at QPR , super kev day . Never seen so many wonder women ❤😁.

[@MegalomaniacMo2]

Might've played for Blackpool but even I've got to admit he's a quality finisher. Good to know that everyone can still turn into a fanboy post 30 Chrissy Brown.

[@simonblues1]

This guy is the FOX IN THE BOX 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thank you Kevin from all BIRMINGHAM CITY FANS ,,,🎉

[@devout666]

Some barnet 👏

[@geordie2001]

Idol!

[@andykidby104]

It didn't work at Stoke cause Rowett cleared out a very good opposition analysis dept and moved a very good analyst sideways. Too many changes behind the scenes that was very good. Leicester proved this, not matter what Manager you keep the good staff behind the scenes.

[@danarcher8628]

Great podcast! That brummie accent definitely stuck 😅😅

[@leewilliams7052]

I saw him play for Sunderland against York City. He had the best engine I have ever seen in a footballer.

[@mrfreeze2446]

100% could've thrived in any top 4 European club easy

[@poolieboy6403]

As a Sunderland supporter living in Hartlepool I was overjoyed when SuperKev took over, started watching Pools and spent a fortune in the club shop, now he’s gone I want a refund, stupid decision by Hartlepool, big lost opportunity!!!

People forget he got us into the prem - Palace.

54:05 Sutton got 1 cap in 1997. That's a outrage.

Good player

[@Deano_Longley]

Would of scored goals for a top 4 big club,but sadly always overlooked, in his prime he was some striker imo-Hull city loyal

[@willbrant9186]

le tissier hadnt played for england for 2 year by the time phillips played 1 prem game

[@SuperR160]

Brilliant player should of had more England caps.

[@gavinwilliams3684]

Would of been nice for him to talk about his time at Birmingham as a fan when a player comes on who’s who’s played for your club there is always extra interest
