Goodwin Handsome

Old Firm Facts - A podcast by The Big Light

With the BAFTAs just gone and the Oscars approaching, there's one prize that's got everyone talking this awards season. Thankfully, Adam is on hand to reveal the four finalists for this year's Golden Stauner award, recognising Scottish football's most handsome figures. Joining him at the ceremony are journalist and author Neil Drysdale as well as comedian and actor Stuart McPherson. Neil talks about the two players Jim Goodwin should be building his Aberdeen side around, why Scotland's 1978 World Cup might not be our worst, being the target of a Jimmy Nicholl grudge, one of Pittodrie's most memorable nights, what he learned from writing a Walter Smith biography, a bad night for Billy Connolly in Aberdeen, the short-lived Stephen Glass and Scott Brown era, covering France '98 and the Aberdeenshire footballer who played a role in Juventus' first league title. Stuart discusses his dream Efe Ambrose scenario, Dunfermline memories, a Coronation Street star's East End Park cameo, existential heckling, the Little Mix memory he shares with Scott Brown, performing stand-up, acting in and writing for Scot Squad, the legacy of Peep Show, Danny Dyer's football gaffes, an unusual Harry Potter mention on his CV and his idea for a Scottish football version of Space Jam. Adam enlists his guests to help him debunk a myth involving Willie Collum, puts questions to them from Twitter and challenges them to identify a truly blood-curdling Scottish football shriek.  For more information about Old Firm Facts, go to: www.thebiglight.com/oldfirmfacts
