MAD DOG Martin Allen Pt.1 - Undr The Cosh Podcast

[@djwood1239]

BRILLIANT!

[@BrianBoru5523]

Just piggybackin' on your comment, any footy heads should look into Robin Friday, there's a couple of books about him, what a character.

[@stevenking1875]

Went to Martins Soccers School back in the late eighties, top bloke he even gave me and my mate a lift to Uxbridge train station as we had no money for a bus fare

[@juniorjones79]

I like the way this man offered to help the interviewer when he said he had a tough time with lockdown. Nice seeing helpful.people in a selfish world.

[@Timekeeper1200]

A very strange but brilliant man. It's like an interview with a serial killer

[@freespirit4706]

😂

[@JTT181]

😂😂😂

[@michaelfarrow5817]

I think a combination of his natural personality and his upbringing have made a unique character. Everybody talks about how naturally humble and generous he is but he played like an animal at times. He was one of those players that West Ham fans still revere. In football, there's only one Mad Dog and you'd fancy him against anyone.

[@jameswreghitt7057]

What a comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikebenson4845]

Hell of a comparison. Not sure if he'd murder anyone but can see him being two personalities. Really like the guy but wouldn't piss him off. Tough love is a thing.

[@joshdavis521]

What an absolute legend. My favourite all time manager at Brentford. Made the players go in the stands at Notts forest before the game and played musical chairs with them. Without the music lol.

[@3coldcapricorn227]

Lloyd Owusu talks about this! Fantastic

[@Citybrey]

Martin was 1 of 6 players signed by Lou Macari. Those 6 players formed the backbone of the club for the best part of a decade. It should be spoken about more. Martin always put a good shift in for West Ham and was very much appreciated by us all. Mad as a box of frogs then and seems just as bonkers now. Best to of wishes to him.

[@FootyWill34]

RedTube absolutely cracked me up

I feel like there’s a musical theatre dancer inside of him dying to get out

Football manger the musical 🎶

[@pbplauralfilms]

Definitely mate. Regional touring cast, belting show tunes after school, dreaming of the West End

[@OrangeBananaPear]

Robin Friday, the greatest player you’ve never heard of. Fascinating guy and worth looking up especially the book about him.

[@3coldcapricorn227]

I’d only ever heard his name in passing, wasn’t he on like an album or singles cover? Super Furry Animals maybe? He’s deffo flipping somebody off or something like that

[@3coldcapricorn227]

Man liked a bit of LSD too if I’m not mistaken 👀😂

[@kevinmurray800]

I was waiting on him coming out with ....shirt always be out...like robin Friday..wear the long shorts like robin Friday..wear long sleeves like robin Friday and when I was young I used to go robbin every Friday 😭😭⚽️

Utterly brilliant. What a bloke. Love this man.

[@martintaylor-reid4141]

What a brilliant person! Martin you have my respect and probably from all the subscribers of this fantastic podcast, well done.

[@undrthecosh]

He was a great guy

[@alp7891]

23mins in and cant help but comment whatta BELTER this is and so interesting having a manager on of a player that has been on too. Great work as always lads 💪

[@tonycole1592]

A true legend and a Scholler, I could listen to your stories all day mega brilliant its was 8 years today 20th April 2013 that you won the league 2 as worthy champions loved you as a player ( what I can remember) but even more when you took our a little tiny club to league 1 amazing scene amazing year, meet you at Morecombe coming back on the train with the players and the end of season game you had the dog in the dugout at Burton last game of the season wonderful memories. Glory Glory Gillingham FC and we still march on. God Bless you Martin best wishes to all your family

[@topsecret6995]

It's all an act - he's a top man I'm sure! I went to every game during his era and the crowd absolutely loved him - people used to howl in the crowd like mad dogs and he loved it

[@barrymason9104]

I love how Martin tells a story. Loved him at Brentford. Great show lads

[@johnmcclements9358]

Another brilliant one. Can't wait to see part 2. Good honest bloke 👍👍👍

[@johnmcclements9358]

Just watched a West ham video of all his goals. The boy could play

[@chriswoodward2491]

What a character. Already in my top 5 before i've even heard part 2

[@saltmerchant749]

The one we've all been waiting for based on remarks from Alby, Si and many others.

[@Youaintseenmeright.......]

Any of you young uns who aren't familiar with Robin Friday should look him up. Truly a lower league legend

[@TokyoJoe703]

Really good book about him the greatest footballer you never saw

[@fletch5498]

I was there for his debut against Plymouth. He went into a tackle on the half way line and hit the bar.

[@markluxon5044]

I was mare I'm sure he scored 3

[@msv7856]

Can't believe you got Martin Allen on! Should be good this...

[@undrthecosh]

Yes, really good. Still a part 2 to come. We had a great afternoon with him

BRILLIANT THATS ALL I CAN SAY

What a legend

[@JimmyWorden16]

The Preston bit was bizarre at the time but not how he described. He's also forgotten that it was 2-2.

[@daleboyers7486]

Is it red tube 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kashmone9y99]

I used to have a pe teacher and last year class tutor called Mr Broughton he reminds me of him

[@jennyradcliffe5570]

They should remember Clive he was on the podcast

[@abeljames4702]

He was that boring they probably forgot

“i had no fear of the plastic”

Character- he’s a Driving Force.. If it ever ca,e on top - you’d want him at the side of you, I can’t think of anybody I’d rather have ahead of him.

Don't see any record of reading beating Preston away during that time?

[@brucescott5478]

Met Martin Allen at a football trial event called Pro FC ran by him. What a humble and great guy

[@GrahamB77]

Really good podcast. He comes across as a serious weirdo though, but entertaining nonetheless and very good listen, as always.

[@stretchystretch269]

Isn’t it this time of year he goes and saves the day at Barnet

[@bradhart2482]

Red tube🤣🤣

[@MrTerryb1956]

What a man he is , why is he not in charge of a championship team is beyond me. No disrespect to anyone in football but Stoke City should have appointed him after Hughes left. No fucker would enjoy going there on a cold Tuesday night with the crowd and Martin at the helm

Agree....

[@anthonynewman6478]

Went to a soccer school run by him in pompey years ago . He had all the mums doing headers as they picked there kids up .they hated him 🤣

[@joshvlogs1463]

Haha he did the same with us in London. Told my dad he was on the podcast and the first thing he said was “ those fucking headers” 😂

[@foreignofficeclub5815]

Very eccentric guy but in an endearing way when he relaxes. You can sense he is a class act because he looks at and responds to, all 3 of the lads, unlike quite a few guests that seem to ignore at least 1 of them during their interviews

[@undrthecosh]

He was brilliant, lovely guy

[@robinmcewen3286]

@@undrthecosh Yeah, he's a very unique character. Has a perspective on the game that is definitely not from the book of cliches. Love the unassuming way he refers to 'my cousin' Clive Allen . FFS, it's CLIVE ALLEN, mate!!! If you know football you know Clive Allen. His self-deprecation at how well-known his family is in football is very revealing. A humble man, who always sounds grateful for everything football has given him. Great interview Under the Cosh.

[@63Baggies]

Were I a chairman, Allen is just the type of guy I'd hire, shades of Cloughie of Malcolm Allison IMHO....

[@georgedolman444]

It's a shame managers like Martin are never given a chance in higher divisions. From what I've heard on these podcasts hes an incredible man manager. I'd like to see him at Swindon until the end of the season

[@greatwestern_footballshirt298]

I'd of definitely taken Martin Allen at Swindon this season we'd of put up more of a fight with mad dog in charge.

[@VillaBoys123]

Redtube. If you know you know

[@MirageMusicUk]

One of the best ones, this can only be topped by Neil Warnock or Stan Ternant 😂

[@mkdisciple]

When he said Redtube instead of KZbin I lost it. Brilliant interview.

[@liammulligan5698]

Moaned at me at the price of a cup of tea at Kenilworth Road and then complained to Russell Perrett about the price of a PlayStation. Random bloke.

[@garyphillips006]

Another cracking episode, Do we really have to wait for part 2, wack it on tomorrow 👍😀 You'd want to play for Martin Allen 😂

[@thesim1979]

Redtube 😂

[@EatCycleRepeat]

He seems quite vulnerable behind the 'mad' persona. Interested to hear in part 2 how he found the Leicester job as I remember his short time here.

[@simonsays5986]

A mixture of funny, strange, odd, mad all in 1 😂😂

[@billybigtime2808]

It’s like he’s got a West Ham top on great bloke and character
