Kevin Davies - Part 2

2025-11-1237:57

In this episode, we’re joined by former Southampton, Blackburn, and Bolton striker Kevin Davies. Part 1 of the podcast came out on Monday, so if you missed it... make sure to go back and listen! Kevin reflects on his early days at Chesterfield, that unforgettable FA Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough, and what it was like sharing a dressing room with Sean Dyche. He opens up about his breakthrough season in the Premier League with Southampton, and how his big-money move to Blackburn Rovers didn’t quite go to plan. Of course, we also dive into his time under Big Sam Allardyce at Bolton Wanderers in the 00's - it’s every bit as entertaining as you’d hope! But did Big Sam really make the players take breathalyser tests? Plus, we get stuck into your correspondence - including some top-tier insider info on the burgers at Millwall.

In this special episode, Let’s Be Having You is live from Soccer Aid with a very special guest - former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere. Jack opens up about his early football journey, from idolising Paolo Di Canio and David Beckham as a youngster, to being scouted by a referee and signing with Arsenal at just nine years old - for a mere £1,500! He shares memories of his iconic performance in the victory over Barcelona, what it was like living with Wojciech Szczesny, and how he nearly botched his Goal of the Season strike against Norwich City. And yes - Jack also dishes on grabbing the mic to mock arch-rivals Tottenham during Arsenal’s FA Cup victory parade.
