Eamonn Holmes launches new football podcast

Eamonn Holmes has launched a new football podcast.
The ‘This Morning’ presenter, and lifelong football fan, has launched ‘A Pint with Eamonn and The Gaffers’, which sees him chat with legendary managers over a pint at pubs across the country.
Eamonn, 59, said: "There really is no place like the Great British pub, it’s a unique place where people have come together for hundreds of years and is a place where memories, and now podcasts, are made. It’s also the place where we tend to be most vocal about our teams and their rivals. So where better to sit down for a chat with some of the biggest names in the game?
Eamonn will be joined by bosses such as Martin O’Neill, Sam Allardyce and Stuart Pearce, as they speak candidly about their highs and lows in the game and how they felt during the moments that have shaped British football in the past four decades.
The podcast is being sponsored by Heineken, who are aiming to show that pubs are the home of great conversation.
And Eamonn hopes that the podcast will "unite" football fans in a love of the game.
He shared: "For me, pubs have always been a place where relationships, friendships are cemented and memories are made. I’m passionate about football and have so many memories of watching the big matches in the pub.
"Sharing a pint with some of the men who were in charge of the teams was such an honour. They offered so much insight to their careers – plus some big opinions on the current Premier League season too. I really hope this new podcast helps unite football fans in their love of the game and reminds them of how much fun it can be watching the big matches down the local."
