Proper Football With Ian Holloway

Former QPR and Blackpool boss Ian Holloway recalls offering to fight his own fans, reveals which manager he has beef with and the weird scare tactic used by one of his team-mates.

This week's guest with Kammy and Ben is never short of a word or two...it's the former Blackpool, QPR and Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway.

He tells them about some of the best and strangest moments from his career; from taking Blackpool to the Premier League to how he sneakily caught out two of his players ordering chips and pints the night before a game; why he put his home address on the club website to fight his own supporters and how a game at Birmingham City gave him his biggest laugh ever.

Elsewhere, he reveals which other manager he's itching to have a row with, why he can't walk away from football management and the very, very strange way one of his teammates used to intimidate opponents.

Meanwhile, Kammy remembers how he took a rollicking for Vinnie Jones and reveals which Premier League squad he beat in a fitness test when he was 55 years old!
