Description

Frank welcomes football legend Jimmy Nicholl for an unforgettable journey through the highs and lows of his storied career. Jimmy recounts his early days, leaving Belfast amidst the Troubles to sign with Manchester United, only to be cut by Big Ron Atkinson.
He shares the electrifying moment his Raith Rovers team, fueled by a Beckenbauer-inspired halftime rant, rallied in Munich, and he takes us behind the scenes of Raith's historic League Cup final win over Celtic. Jimmy also talks about fulfilling his dream of signing for Rangers under Graeme Souness and relives Northern Ireland’s stunning victory over Spain in the 1982 World Cup.
