  Aug 19, 20261h 46mS7

  Barry Fry. One of football’s great characters — and there genuinely will never be another one like him. In this special Made in Brum podcast, Barry sits down with us for a brilliant, completely unfiltered journey through a lifetime in football. From his unforgettable time at Birmingham City , the players he signed, the deals he pulled off and the ones that got away, to the madness behind the scenes and some of the biggest characters he encountered along the way. Barry talks about discovering and dealing in players including Ivan Toney, Dwight Gayle and Britt Assombalonga , the millions made through clever transfers and sell-on clauses, and exactly what went into his famous wheeling and dealing. But the stories go way beyond transfers. Expect tales of players, managers, chairmen, dressing rooms, bust-ups, unbelievable negotiations and the sort of things that simply wouldn't happen in football today. And, as you'd expect from Barry, absolutely nothing is held back. Funny, fascinating, chaotic and at times completely unbelievable — this is Barry Fry in full flow . ️ Made in Brum — real people, real stories, proper Birmingham.
