"I admire Gary Neville, believe it or not” | Phil Thompson's Greatest Leaders
What makes a great leader in football? Thats’s the question Jeff is asking former Liverpool captain Phil Thompson on this week’s episode of the pod. Thommo was himself a born leader, who lifted the European Cup as captain in 1981.
He talks about how Bill Shankly mapped out his entire career and the time Bob Paisley gave him his biggest rollicking, the best leaders he played with and why captaincy seems to matter more in the UK. He also reveals:
- The player that scared him the most
- How he pranked an England legend into believing he was joining Liverpool
- What he really thought about Alex Ferguson’s great Manchester United sides
Phil also talks about some of his lowest moments, including losing the captaincy at Liverpool to Graeme Souness and being overlooked to be England skipper at the 1982 World Cup, and recalls why Steve Gerrard took the armband from Sami Hyypia at Anfield and his emotional team talk before his first match as Liverpool’s caretaker manager.

    Geoff will always be a special man as he helped me recover after a burst appendix operation when I was 9 years old… I was very poorly ( touch and go apparently ) my dad read that he was coming to my home town to open a sports shop. He wrote to the shop and Geoff dropped off a personally signed picture and left it at the hospital reception ( as he had to get back to London ). Imagine my reaction to receive this act of kindness….My mood changed, I recovered and finally got to thank Geoff personally at his theatre event when he did a sports evening at Cheltenham Town Hall. An incredible, humble man who is always so modest when talking about his career.

    Legend is overused. But not in his case. A living legend. I was 8 years old in 66. What a day that was! Then 67, Celtic (my father was Scottish) and then 68, man utd and my hero George Best. I disagree with Hurst, england will not win a major trophy in my lifetime. Pampered prats, no hunger. 😢
