Special 1 hour free podcast by Gary James on 2011 FA Cup

[Gary James]

10 years ago tomorrow was the 2011 FAC semi MCFC v MUFC. I’ve made this 1 hour podcast about the journey to success that year: https://gjfootballarchive.com/2021/04/15/restored-2011-the-all-manchester-fa-cup-semi-final/

It includes recordings from my interviews over the years with Peter Swales (have a listen and you’ll understand why), Garry Cook, Brian Marwood, Roberto Mancini & Peter Barnes. If you fancy having a listen then get yourself a brew or a beer and sit back. It’s free to listen to and I hope everyone enjoys it. If it’s well received then I’ll do a few more specials like this.

Thanks to all those who have supported my research and work over the years. Ta!

Worth listening to the opening few minutes even if it’s just to hear Swales tell me how much he hated Utd - it helps to explain why City dropped too! I include a recording with Mancini from a few days before the semi where he’s trying to answer critics about City ‘trying’ to buy success (nowadays they say City ‘buying’ success).
