With Euro 2024 in full flow, DC and EJ joined legendary footballer, broadcaster and raconteur Alan Brazil for a ride around the highs and lows of his infamous career.
He tells them why betting on the Epsom Derby cost him his place for Scotland, partying as a footballer in the 70’s and 80’s and how he once stopped EJ getting punched on stage.

Sorry, Canadian here, no clue what you all are on about. Giving up after 20 minutes.
Cheers
As ever brilliant, seems like Alan Brazil has been on Radio forever I must have been listening to him for going on 25 years on and off on Talksport.. Never knew Mike Parry was his boss just thought they were co-commentator/DJ's with Talksport , really enjoyed something different as I'm a huge football fan as well as F1.
First and foremost every episode with both DC & EJ is brilliant.
The one person I would like you to sit with in a Podcast is a person who gets little publicity with so many un-answered questions like why did you not progress further that Karting and that's the 6 times world karting champion, the one person that Senna could never beat, the person who discovered Fernando Alonso, the person who schooled Montoya, the person who helped Lance Stroll with his Karting, the one and only Mike Wilson. Please DC & EJ sit for an hour with Mike Wilson, it could be a fascinating interview.
Tremendous!
Love Eddie Jordan! Never seen him in this context but very down to search and not how he is portrayed in the media 👍
Glad the diets payed off bud😊
Coulthard sounds very much like Jim White. Never heard that before but I’ve never seen them before at the same time in the same place
Big AL holyrood bhoy done good🎉
Why is the interviewer talking about Robbie Fowler and Roy Keane in the same timespan as Alan Brazil?
Some folk just love to booze it’s great for them but not so much for their partners !
Alan's had a good life! My wife and I remember him from when he was running the Black Adder pub in Ipswich back in the early 90s
Dalglish, greatest player ever in England.
Coulthard looks like lord Charles to people that can member that. Lol. He was a ventriloquist dummy lol
Alan wouldnt be the same player in todays game, he would have the same talent but a different mindset on the game. His lifestyle would been a whole different scene too, talent can take you places but if you're psycho you end up with same end product.
Great show guys! Thanks.
Eddie hasn't a clue about football 🙂
I love Mr Brazil he's a dying breed and the reason I still listen to talksport occasionally along with Andy townsend, Ally mccoist and jeff Stelling.
Alan we know you are a tim, but be professional stop acting like a petulant seven year old!
I could listen to Al all day long. A superb bloke and I hope he does have another 10 years minimum.
Well done gents 👏🏻
Good to see they did their research. Asking him about playing with Roy Keane.
Its Snake Mountain Big Al – Castle Greyskull is the good Guys base! – Love EJ Even more, can remember hearing him say on radio DD will get the next appointment right b4 big Ange came in (it was critical and spot on) EJ predictions outstanding yet again – Hail Hail .🍀
Ej is 40 yrs out with players
Put the scripts away, and have a laugh. You're both millionaires
Eddie Jordan knows his football eh🙄
EJ is so full of himself. Can you imagine being stuck on an island with that.
Christ almighty, Eddie Jordan is insufferable
Does Eddie Jordan have a clue about football? 😂
Alan talking about Dalgliesh….”was Fowler there then?”……
FFS.
Great show loved listening to all the stories from you all 🍀🏴🍀
2 mins in and the obligatory cheap joke about Scotland and its people, yawn
