The final leg of the Irish League Marathon concludes with this absolute belter from a legend of the Premier League and Northern Ireland.
Former Liverpool, Southampton, Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town midfielder Jim Magilton joins me on Campbell's Footballs to discuss his time in football.
We open our chat by hearing about Jim's influences particularly George Best and Norman Whiteside. We then hear about Jim's playing days starting out at Liverpool - meeting another one of his hero's Kenny Dalglish. What was it like playing with Alan Hansen and others?
We then hear about Jim's time on the international stage. What was it like sharing with Neil Lennon and Ian Dowie?
Here about an incredible story about how how a shock FA Cup win over Leeds with Oxford United ended up in Jim signing for Southampton. What was it like playing at the Dell and alongside Matt Le Tissier and other great players?
A move to Hillsborough follows after an incredible time on the south coast. Coming face to face to Benito Carbone and Paolo Di Canio - how did that go?
Then, a move to Ipswich. How did George Burley sell the dream of playing at Portman Road? Matt Holland and teammates such as Richard Wright, James Scowcroft and Lee Naylor get more than a mention. How did George and his team draw influence from the team that Sir Bobby Robson managed all that years ago? Did it help them on the European stage and domestically?
Jim then talks about his time in management managing at Ipswich before travelling the world and then heading back to Northern Ireland. Does he want to manage Northern Ireland in the future? We hear about his relationships with Michael O'Neill, Gareth Mcauley and Stephen Craigan as well as hear about Jim's views on the media, the Irish League and much more.
