Episode 2219: US Murph’s 2021 Sporting Highlights, Grealish And Foden On The Lash

Wed 22nd Dec 2021
Ken, Murph, Brian Murphy

Who to turn towards when the hotly-contested Audio Bed of the Year competition is causing outbreaks of rancour and division among the World Service membership? Who can bring back a sense of unity, of festive cheer and goodwill? Well, Brian Murphy, of course.

Yes, US Murph is back today to save us all from each other and to give us his top three sporting moments from the year that was. It’s been a big one for Brian: UCLA making the Final Four of the NCAA tournament, the Giants defying the odds to make it to October, Steph Curry breaking the all-time 3-point record, his beloved Italy winning the Euros… Who makes the cut?

Jack Grealish has taken Phil Foden under his wing at Man City, but not in the way that Pep would have liked. Is Grealish too big to fail at City?

 

Plus there’s Ken’s own favourite sporting moments, a beautiful tale of the love between uncle and nephew and Billy Beane’s Three Lions.
