Scouser Tommies: A Car Chat With Michael Higdon

Michael Nevin was joined by his friend and former professional footballer Micahel Higdon for a chat about his career and the city.

Scouser Tommies: NOW DO YOU BELIEVE US?

After telling everyone for years just how good it is to win the league, Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin have some fresh evidence courtesy of Jurgen and the boys. Now do you believe us? With a minor role from a happy traffic warden, Mike and Jim do their best to offload 30 years of frustration and near misses into one hour, emotional at times but most of all just full of joy that the wait is finally over. PS. It’s Campioni, you wools!

Scouser Tommies: We’ve gone and won the league!

30 years since they last saw it happen, Jim Boardman and Karl Coppack get together to talk about the 19th time it happened, for the first time since football began in the early nineties. Liverpool are League Champions, what else could they chat about? Did they feel the urge to gloat at everyone else, how does this squad compare to what won the other titles and was the souvenir Echo in colour this time?

Scouser Tommies: 106 Days

Mike is back in the hosting chair for this one and is joined by Marc McColgan to chat about what was going on with The Reds before the interruption, and what we might see on Sunday. 

Scouser Tommies: Sent for the Echo

Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin are back, wondering this time if it’s okay to get a little bit excited that the football is about to return. Where would be best for The Reds to clinch Title 19 in the year of Covid 19? Would some club’s players even notice their games were being played behind closed doors? Can Liverpool afford to splash £50m on players in the current climate? And how would a Scouse Nan let you know you’d driven her up the wall?

Scouser Tommies: Waterproof Diouf with Guy Drinkel

Jim Boardman is joined this time by Guy Drinkel for special episode looking at Guy’s journey to becoming a Red from a distance and how even the Hodgson era wasn’t going to get in the way. There’s time to discuss the heavily paused season so far and how it might play out now there’s a glimmer of hope of it actually being played. Jim also asks Guy for his All Time LFC XI - will there be any surprises?

Scouser Tommies: That Red Strip With Eddie Gibbs

Eddie Gibbs joins Jim Boardman as we continue our look at the back stories of familiar AI voices from around the world. With family roots on Liverpool's Scottie Road it was perhaps inevitable that Eddie would become a Red, but football wasn't the only sport vying for his attention growing up. With some thoughts on the season so far and some insight into Eddie's move into fan-media, the show is rounded off with Eddie's all-time greatest Liverpool XI. Were there any difficult decisions?

Scouser Tommies: Jimmy Plaice and Kenny Dogfish

Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin are back and joined this time by Marc McColgan, remembering fish-related chanting, hastily printed pink newspapers and Grandstand’s teleprinter. Also up for discussion is the consolation of a European Cup straight after the devastation of an FA Cup final defeat and a look at Liverpool’s oldest players.

Scouser Tommies: In that free role

Jim Boardman is back with Mike Nevin, talking this time about football on TV in the early days compared to now, and what might need to change in the future, especially with 3pm Saturday kick-offs. As usual, nothing is off-topic and much like McManaman in his LFC heyday, Mike and Jim make the most of the freedom to wander, passing like Barnes and Molby between YNWA without fans, commentators v goalkeepers and Andy Townsend's Tactics Truck.

Scouser Tommies: STIRRING THE POT

Jim Boardman and Mike Nevin return for another virtual walk around the streets of Liverpool, stopping off at Jack Sharps, Home and Bargain and Woolworths - but never quite getting to wherever it was they set off for. Charlie Adam's Blackpool, an Igor Biscan banner and Ryan Babel’s favourite referee get brought into the conversation, along with this week’s tips on stuff to search for on YouTube.
