Andy Gray: What Happened To You? podcast

What Happened To You? is the podcast that interviews players of the past, today, about their interviews from the past. Brought to you by Mark Godfrey, the brains behind the Vincera! Italia 90 podcast, What Happened To You? is a step back into yesteryear through modern glasses.

The former Aston Villa, Wolves and Everton striker won the PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards in the same year in 1977 – as did Ronaldo in 2009 and Bale in 2013 – and is in fine form as he recalls a career that didn’t take him out to Real Madrid like the other pair. Alas, he tells the latest episode of What Happened To You? that he wouldn’t change it for the world.

While he’s now more well-known by younger football fans for his tactical analysis on Sky Sports (and subsequent exit) Gray casts his mind further back to his life as a player, discussing how his life – and football – has changed since he broke on to the scene.

As well as the regular questions about his changing car habits, music tastes and favourite travel destinations, Gray also opens up about his thoughts on modern football and the way punditry has developed since he became the forefather for TV analysts.
