Years ago, I have no idea why The Sun posted his phone number when he was at Birmingham, I think one of his players went missing or something. Me and some workmates decided to call it for a laugh a few days later and I got straight through to him and said " Hi Barry this is Dave Tucker from the Telegraph"...all bull shit of course, I was some raggy arsed telesales guy. However Barry fell for it, and we had a 2 minutes conversation about what I can't remember. However, at the end I decided to come clean, who I was and he told me " Fuck me son, you should get into journalism you had me fucking fooled you cunt" whilst laughing :)...Top bloke :)
@@martingould2231 I know Barry pretty well from doing Security at a few of his after dinner talks. He is pretty liked and always gives value for money. I asked him if he knew Martin Gould and he said your a wrong un.
Barry Fry is one in a million. Wheeler, dealer. The Del Boy of football. So glad I got to enjoy one of the best seasons in the modern era when he managed my club Birmingham City. Man, I miss 90's football!!
Barry Fry is football, how it should be and how it should be played, there is no one more passionate about the game in this universe. He is a proper bloke, he deserved so much more.
I'm an Irish person who supports his local team, I recall a match I attended which also happened to be attended by the President of Ireland and the team that Barry Fry owned (I think it was Peterborough). There were quite a few players from the team there as well as various other personalities from the game (both here and England). Anyways the President takes his seat just as the match is starting. He passes through a load of people, at the end of it the only person to greet him was Barry Fry, who went out of his way to show his respects, class act. The rest of them had their head down and barely acknowledged the guy was passing through.
I remember Birmingham playing at the New Den, 1996 I think it was. At the first game at St Andrews, Millwall were top, Blues were 2nd. It was like WWIII between both sets of fans, before, during, and after the game. A fan jumped on the touchline and assaulted one of the Millwall subs (Dave Savage I think?) during the first half. As a result, at The New Den, a Police corden was placed around Fry and the away dugout to protect them from fans looking for revenge. There were some crazy times at football in the 90's!!
Barry Fry is the typical underdog: you know he's up against it but you can't help rooting for him. He looks like a stand up comedian but with hilariously bad language. Very best of luck to him.
Was a top prospect as a young footballer, I always thought he was niave as a manager but his teams we're hard to beat, most the time!!!!! One of them managers who worked better with nothing than spending a lot of cash. Proper man from back in the day, with character and a very humble man too, great career but it's a if only for his playing days and well done as a manager/owner put his money where his mouth is for Peterboro. Full respect for Mr Fry from me.
"The noisy, hard-swearing Fry is a man made for television documentary. We met him previously when he was the manager of Birmingham City. That ended in his sacking, and he moved to Peterborough. This film charts his first year in charge. Putting his money into the club, as well as his non-stop mouth, Fry starts with high ambitions. Three wins in the first 17 matches scupper both - and as the team slides farther towards relegation, the dressing-room dressing downs get fiercer and Fry's language descends from bad to appalling. But his stoic wife ("my best signing") and six children provide a domestic respite. Broadcast ITV (UK) Saturday 24 May 1997"
Well just watched this & the Warnock one also back to back & my head is full of sweary words. Is this about 20 years ago? Its the last of the flat cap managers, now its Spanish Italian et all. Now the players just cry into their wallets, also it was nice to see muddy pitches in the winter, its just all too perfect now. Big Ron next!
Noticed that Barry had a special bollocking for Simon Clark in that Cup defeat. Clark joined my club Leyton Orient where he didn't improve much. But Barry's comment "You cost us on Saturday you fucking fairy" was a classic.
love the clip at 40:17 "GO ON MIGUEL, GO ON MIGUEL, OHHHHHH F***ING HELL!" as he does that he almost elbows a little girl alongside him in the dugout (his daughter?) in the face - makes me laugh every time i watch it!
Barry seems to have no set way of playing and jumps from one idea to the next. The players seem confused and frightened to move seats for fear of reprisal. No one seems to know where they are with him.
Bless Barry getting De Souza and his agent asked for a bonus for reaching 30 goals a season? WTF De Souza never scored 30 goals ever period. Maybe Barry knew this was a no hoper so agreed to it. Should have gone for Gareth Seddon type or someone like that. A kid whom scored goals in lower leagues. De Souza lol
Shaves like a faker! Come on...you don't really think there's a blade in there do you?...he'd have cut himself to ribbons. He'd shaved previously..taken the blade out..soaped up again and " shaved " at hi speed for the cameras. You try shaving like that with a blade...make sure you've got plenty of tissue handy!
‘Sold to the fat bastard in the blue blazer’ cracks me up every time 😂

“Carnnnt keep a good man darrrn “ 😂
Not many as charismatic as Fry , impossible to dislike him

Nah Arry Redknapp is
'We'll have to do something about the turnstiles.'
20 years later and they are exactly the same.
Barry Fry is football, how it should be and how it should be played, there is no one more passionate about the game in this universe. He is a proper bloke, he deserved so much more.
Imagine the pressure he was under...what a bloke!
Such an entertaining documentary, Barry Fry, you've gotta love him! What a character!
This is the best football doc ive ever seen, its like spinal tap!!!
Barry Fry SALT OF THE FUKN EARTH!!!
i do like Barry Fry he seems a genuine nice bloke and the kind of bloke you could sit have a pint or cup of tea and hear the stories he could tell
'Life's full of bloody surprises' I swear that's his number one quote 😂

The last bit here is absolute gold, relegated, club in a mess , come back next year will be raring to go mate 😂 brillant. Top man.
Posh fan here,26 years at Peterborough, l personally love him👍
If there was a Premiership for optimism, enthusiasm and swearing...... Barry would have been Sir Alex and Pep Guardiola rolled into one
what a fella,love his passion..
‘How much? HOW MUCH!?’
I still say it in BF’s voice.
Great bloke 👍🏻
He lives around the corner from me. I see him in the post office or chip shop every now and then.
Nice narrative by Sean bean, top actor and working class football fan.
Would of loved to of had him with us at Millwall
He would of fitted right in.
Practically would of blended into the crowd.

" Got to be money well spent"
" It is, 5"
so he got a survival bonus of 40k (5k for 8 matches) just for staying in the league?
No, if they survived he would have got 5k
Hero-level commitment and passion. Awesome guy
What a guy
i remember the wrexham game, what a goal by Kevin Russell, still havent forgiven him even after everything else he has done for us!!
an absolute legend.

Looks more like 30 years ago looking at some of the cars in the film.
Defo at least 30 years ago as they were in Division 2!
This was only the mid 00s, I think..
Yeah this is mid 90s i remember the kit
This was the 1996/1997 season. Peterborough finished in 21st, the last of the relegation spots 5 points from safety.
A genuine football guy.God knows be what he makes of the money in the game today
He loves money.
LOVELY!
If Del Boy was a football manager...!!!
Noticed that Barry had a special bollocking for Simon Clark in that Cup defeat. Clark joined my club Leyton Orient where he didn't improve much. But Barry's comment "You cost us on Saturday you fucking fairy" was a classic.
Don't make characters like Fry anymore :( great craic.
Amazing, jsut look where we are now
A real manager, at a real club.
love the clip at 40:17 "GO ON MIGUEL, GO ON MIGUEL, OHHHHHH F***ING HELL!" as he does that he almost elbows a little girl alongside him in the dugout (his daughter?) in the face - makes me laugh every time i watch it!
03:41 Comedy Genius from those editing this programme!
Ned Stark on the narration! Winter is coming...
Id pay entrance fee just to see him run up and down that touchline
I recorded this on VHS at the time and watched it loads. Typically Peterborough hammered Burnley on this . . . . I'm a Burnley fan 🙈
There IS only one Barry Fry. Football would be in a far better place if there were a lot more Barry fry's.
THERE IS ONLY 1 BARRY FRY BLUES FAN KEPT US UP STILL A BLUE NOSE
How much! how much! HOW MUCH!
Quickly Kevin do a great podcast episode on this.
that's some aggressive shaving
“It only takes one person” is a shit thing to put up on the wall in a team game
When you're sitting in the pub 5 minutes before kick off and 20 minutes after.
Who'd be a football manager seriously
Ahhh... the days when Wrexham where slightly feared
Lewis decent cup team way back.
A passionate man about football but was to tactics as I am to brain surgery.
"Hux...fucking hopeless. Fucking hopeless as a defender, fucking hopeless as an attacker."
Phil Neal. Good god!
Is Sean Bean narrator?
yes he is
Diamond geezer! What year was this?
Alex O'Dowd 1996/97 season
Chris Collins Nice one, thanks mate!
Alex O'Dowd your welcome, do you know Barry fry has been a Peterborough for over 20 years
Chris Collins
Really? What is his role there now? Last I hear he was director with Fergie in charge though that was ages ago, eh?
Director of football
I would say this chap is dodgy as f, but he is one true character
That guys teeth flew out was so funny
Was watching this wondering why I was thinking of O2, then realised that the narrator is most probably Sean Bean..."see what you can do".
Came here from Twitter
27:01 Is pure comedy, defend the fucking back post!
Bollocks! lol
3:04 Fucking hopless lol free headers here, free headers there!
The players probably realised the writing was on the wall the minute Phil Neal walked in.
“Yes boss, the moment I walked in boss.”
Is that Sean Beane narrating?
Oh you bastard
46:45 a team with a conservatory for a dugout!
What a character lol
36min Wheeler dealer!
Twitter brought me here
Barry seems to have no set way of playing and jumps from one idea to the next. The players seem confused and frightened to move seats for fear of reprisal. No one seems to know where they are with him.
Bazza should have been England manager
winter is coming
Wait, so he was the owner, realized how fucked financially he was, sold the club, and somehow re-bought the club by 2006??
Hahaha he spat his teeth out,
Walking advertisements for brushing your teeth
interesting motivational technique to put the nut your left back at half time
2.53 hahahahha
Was '97
2:51 his teeth fell out 😂
43:41 Shit firm!
Narrated by Ned Stark
snickers!!!!!!!!!! Hire a nut rishionist
Barry fry ain't no saint , lots Dodgy contracts that benifited him and not the so called I've got players bk !!!
He's done very well out of some rather shrewd deals.
Transfer deadline?
Quickly Kevin anyone?
Narrative inside appearance head egg quarterback environmental loyalty.
In League one hahahaha
Don't worry Barry! Fergie has smashed your worst form record this season lol
I think I have a better connection with Barry's kids then he has
“Fancy a big love?” 😂
26:11
36:16
Bless Barry getting De Souza and his agent asked for a bonus for reaching 30 goals a season? WTF De Souza never scored 30 goals ever period. Maybe Barry knew this was a no hoper so agreed to it. Should have gone for Gareth Seddon type or someone like that. A kid whom scored goals in lower leagues. De Souza lol
Haha yeah I had to look up his record after that. Only ever scored 5 for the Posh!
He bought De Souza at Birmingham too. He was hopeless for us.
Shaves like a faker!
Come on...you don't really think there's a blade in there do you?...he'd have cut himself to ribbons.
He'd shaved previously..taken the blade out..soaped up again and " shaved " at hi speed for the cameras.
You try shaving like that with a blade...make sure you've got plenty of tissue handy!
Exactly what i thought. Cut to ribbons. He looked clean shaven at the start
