AISA - the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association - invites supporters and members of the football community to talk to its members and give us insights into the game, The podcasts here are edited highlights of these events
Liam Brady, one of Arsenal's greats, talks about his time as a player, as youth team manager, memories from his life, and how his autobiography landed him in trouble! Liam is in conversation with Handbrake Off host, Adrian Clarke - himself an ex-Arsenal player, and it was recorded at an AISA members' event. It's all here - ducking 50-50s, greatest memories, where he'd have fitted in an Arsene Wenger team, what it takes for youth to succeed in the modern game, and much more. Liam's book, 'Born to be a Footballer' is on sale now.
