On today’s episode, we are joined by a Premier League great who started off in non-league football and went on to become PFA Player of the Year.
Les Ferdinand enjoyed a successful and varied career playing for clubs such as QPR, Tottenham Hotspur as well as being part of the ‘great entertainers’ under Kevin Keegan at Newcastle United. After retirement he returned to West London and took up the role as Director of Football at QPR, becoming the first British black player to hold that position.
After stepping down last year ‘Sir Les’ as he is affectionately known joins the show to discuss his unconventional route to superstardom, opening up on his time at Tottenham and Newcastle, his turbulent tenure at QPR and the issues black former players are facing to find jobs in football.

Les was brilliant. Great in the air. Fast. Strong. An excellent finisher. He first scored a hatful of goals in the 1992/93 season at QPR then continued to score prolifically for quite several seasons. His partnership at QPR with Kevin Gallen and then his move to Newcastle enabled Les to show us what a superb forward he truly was. I don't care about footballers' colour and I never have cos it isn't interesting what colour a person's skin is. It's what is inside a person's heart and inside their head that is important in a person. Not their skin colour. That's about as interesting as what height they are. I don't think hardly any supporters in 2024 in stadiums do either. Good.

Newcastle fan here. From what I have learned over years & heard Les say. Newcastle thought £6 million for a 30 year old was too good to turn down plus we'd be ok with Shearer/Asprilla. But Shearer got injured so they asked Les (who never wanted to leave) to stay. Les felt disrespected so went to Spurs. With Ginola, I've been told he wanted to leave and go to London. I do know Barcelona wanted him a season prior but we didn't sell him. Kenny Dalgish ruined us for 4 years by dismantling the team selling 3 of our best players in Les, Ginola, Beardsley plus Robbie Elliott and John Beresford & later Asprilla. And he replaced them with past it Barnes, Rush, & flops likes Andreas Andersson, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Pistone, Des Hamilton & his son Paul.

John Barnes was the best player I ever saw with my own eyes and I was thirteen when we signed him. I was a winger too at the time. This picture of me was me around my twelfth birthday. I was a winger in the school team and in a Sunday League team that was managed by my stepdad. Did I notice Barnesy was black? Did I notice Eddie Murphy was black when we were watching his 'Raw' video with the guy who managed our Sunday League team that I was a schoolboy winger in before my stepdad took over? Yes. Did it matter? No. I'm from Liverpool and I'm lower-working-class. We didn't move to a council house until I was fifteen. So I tend to look at the world more class-wise.

A stadium is a stadium and I can only speak for myself but the size of a football stadium never had any impact or baring on where ever I ended up during my career." And I'm the same way with shirt numbers. Personally I couldn't give a toss what squad number I was given at a football club. The opportunity to play professional football would of been MORE THAN ENOUGH for me. I think AC Milan sat down with Andriy Shevchenko like YEARS ago and offered him €5 million to give up the no. 7 shirt because they were going after David Beckham at the time and they wanted to use the fact that he could have it himself during negotiations. UTTER MADNESS when you actually think about that!!

Surprised Simon didn’t ask him about his decision to leave Newcastle and what impact Kenny Dalglish had in that, and the fallout with Shearers injury and how Newcastle tried to cancel the deal. Missed opportunity
