Vince Tracy's Podcasts

Eric joined me on lockdown day 28 in Spain. We discussed the career of Peter Bonetti the Chelsea goalkeeper before looking at such issues as how we learned to play the game, the 'Heading Debate' and coaching players to use both feet.

Rob Daniels joined me to discuss a new initiative from the Premier League players to contribute to the NHS plus news from Real Madrid, transfer news from Cutinho to Gini Winaldrum plus other relevant snippets.

I also watched a programme on John Wayne which was quite interesting....I've always found Big John to be a bit of a joke....he makes war films where he is the hero yet he never actually served his country....unlike other stars of the time like James Stewart and Clarke Gable....I never knew whether he wasn't perhaps fit enough to sign up but apparently he was but decided it would effect his movie career....he reckoned he did send an application off three years into the war but never got a reply....so he fought his wars on the silver screen in Hollywood and made a fortune....so I was right....they had an old marine on who called him a "Jerk" which seemed to sum him up.....he says he always regretted not serving his country.... I actually wrote a song about the all American hero.....I got some feedback on it at the time from the States saying the song said it all about Big John.....they didn't get it obviously....the song is actually taking the mick......and here it is....The Ballad of John Wayne

With this terrible global pandemic now hitting almost every country on earth I chatted with Terry Whitehead to discover how he has been coping The Government has decided to prolong the state of alarm until April 26 , during which 47 million citizens must remain confined to their homes to stop the spread of the coronavirus. .......However, don't forget that the best way to prevent the spread is to wash your hands often, cough and sneeze covering your mouth, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands .The data says that the coronavirus is more contagious and more lethal than the flu , which is estimated to kill 0.13% or 0.16% of patients ...... In the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has gone into intensive care. Humiliated Nicola Sturgeon admitted that the resignation of Scotland's chief medical officer for flouting her own lockdown rules will damage the country's coronavirus response.

According to the logic of the Professional Footballers' Association, those in the game who have volunteered to forego salary in this time of economic crisis are depriving the NHS of vital funds through tax revenue.....Eric Malpus Joined me to discuss these issues

joined me to discuss a new word being used by the football authorities as Harry Redknapp criticises Spurs for furloughing employees Newcastle United were the first Premier League club to act, and then Tottenham followed suit.

With this terrible global pandemic now hitting almost every country on earth I chatted with Terry Whitehead to discover how he has been coping . Agriculture is one of the basic pillars to ensure the proper functioning of the distribution chain that ensures citizen food at a time when the population remains confined to their homes. The Spanish army has requested international assistance to fight the coronavirus pandemic, which is now expanding at a faster rate than in Italy. The most common victim is male, above the age of 80 and with previous health conditions – in particular, heart related. That’s according to a report from the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII), which has analyzed 16,000 coronavirus cases, among which there were 566 deaths.

The virus is still filling the news and now the government are being criticised for not acting sooner....which doesn't help the situation. t was nice to see a bit of justice handed out to another bone head who thought he was clever by spitting at a policeman....he is now in jail for the next 12 months.. Now nurses are being told not to wear their uniforms on their way to work because they are being subjected to abuse....and to not wear their badges in public as they may be stolen from them by idiots who use them to get served in supermarkets.

31st March-Eric Malpus chats with me about the histrionics of Aston Villa player, Jack Grealish, and the irresponsibilities of his actions. We looked at how Barcelona players have reacted to taking a 70%paycut and we discussed how this season's commitments might pan out..

Rob Daniels joined me to discuss initiatives from the BBC, Everton's community initiatives in particular, Arteta's recovery and, finally, our own lives in football from an early age

With this terrible global pandemic now hitting almost every country on earth I chatted with Terry Whitehead to discover how he has been coping. At least 60 priests have died in Italy amid the country's coronavirus pandemic as the Pope called on them to 'have courage' to attend the sick. The situation in the nursing homes has set off all the alarms on Monday after the Defence Minister, Margarita Robles, revealed that the Military Emergency Unit (UME) had found the bodies of elderly people abandoned in bed in several of those centres. Local police in Fuengirola Spain have been deluged by calls from residents regarding smash and grab thefts from their parked cars........... It is advisable to lock your possesions securely away and just be aware that they will be on the prowl after dark. We believe that only if we confine ourselves at home, if we stay at home, if we take care of ourselves, this fight against the coronavirus can be won Torra’s remarks alluded to the fact that the Catalan government wants to enforce even stricter restrictions ............. In the UK This weekend thousands of people flouted Government warnings to stay indoors and beaches, beauty spots, parks and playgrounds were packed as Britons took advantage of the sunny spring weather............

Thousands decided to walk up Snowdon in Wales at the weekend while others piled into the parks....which just about sums up the mentality of our nation...not to mention the panic buying in supermarkets.....so now we are in some sort of lockdown"......and with the great variety of intellects this has naturally caused an uproar with questions being fired at politicians on TV all starting with "What do I do if....".....it is a perfect display of the necessity for most of our population to require leading... the whole thing is basically about COMMON SENSE which sadly lacks in a lot of sections of the community....the difficulty is everyone is different...some care for others some only care about themselves which will never change....apparently we can go to the shops for food...we can go jogging but only ONCE a day....or we can go out for a walk but only with one person....and we must keep 2 metres apart....and if you can you must work from home.....all very sensible but we are talking about getting through the solid bone heads of some people....what we DON'T need is the likes of Piers Morgan ranting on at M.P.s with total negativity and the stupid press with headlines like "THE END OF FREEDOM".....it's supposedly for three weeks for goodness sake....winding everyone up doesn't help

Eric joined me to talk about the true values of football in a general sense and the career of the great Sir Matt Busby of Manchester United.

Rob Daniels joined me to discuss the way forward for people to overcome this dreadful CoronaVirus which will involve lifestyle changes. There really is very little sport to discuss but we now need to reassess where sport in general and football in particular stands within society.
