The search has swung from the North East to the South Coast where we’ve chanced upon Southmapton’s Neil Maddison. Maddo made 349 career appearances for five different clubs, played in the 1998 League Cup final and alongside some of the greatest players to grace the Premier League during the 1990s. The Darlington-born player did enjoy a lengthy spell at Middlesbrough too, so naturally Richie steers the chat back to Teesside at times, but Ketch takes it further North to Newcastle for some Alan Shearer chat after discovering Maddo was Big Al’s best man at his wedding! Enjoy the episode and remember, keep it shiney!
