Brian Kerr’s voice is instantly familiar as a broadcaster, and his contribution to Irish football is extraordinary. Born in 1953, his first coaching role came while barely a teenager. In the 1980s he would come to manage the team he had supported since his childhood, St Patrick’s Athletic, before going on to historic victories with Ireland’s youth teams in the 1990s. In this discussion, we touch on everything from the 1966 World Cup Final to the visit of the Al-Helal Football Academy in Gaza to Dublin. A little language in this one.

With thanks to Naoise Nunn and all at Mindfield/Electric Picnic. For more on Kerr’s story, see Joe O’Rourke’s ‘The People’s Champions’ exploring his 1989/1990 league winning side.
