Tony Cascarino joins Simon Houston and Frank McAvennie for a brilliant, hilarious and brutally honest conversation about a football career that never followed the expected script.
Arriving at Celtic as a record signing from Aston Villa, Tony looks back candidly on why his time in Glasgow did not work out. He speaks openly about the pressure, the scrutiny and the mistakes he made, while delivering plenty of laugh out loud stories along the way, including a scathing and unforgettable assessment of one former Celtic teammate.
Despite that difficult spell, Tony reflects on the moment that still connects him to the Celtic support. Scoring against Rangers at Ibrox remains a hugely significant memory for him, and he explains why that goal still means so much all these years later.
The conversation then moves to France, where Tony explains how his career finally clicked. He talks about becoming a major success abroad, why the change of culture suited him, and how it brought out the best football of his career.
Tony also looks back warmly on representing Ireland under Jack Charlton, recalling special moments, strong bonds and a period of international football that remains a genuine source of pride.
Funny, self aware and completely unfiltered, Tony Cascarino proves to be a wonderful storyteller from start to finish. A cracking listen for Simon and Frank, and a must for anyone who loves football stories told properly.
Frank McAvennie pulls no punches in this episode of Let Me Be Frank as he puts his greatest teams up against today’s Celtic and West Ham sides and makes some bold predictions.
Frank compares Celtic’s legendary Centenary team of 1988 with the current squad and predicts the exact score if the two sides went head to head. He breaks down key match ups, including Paul McStay versus Callum McGregor and Johnny Kenny versus Mick McCarthy, and explains why he believes his era would come out on top.
The conversation then turns to West Ham, as Frank pits the famous 1986 side against the modern team. Once again, he names the scoreline and talks through classic battles like Tony Cottee versus Callum Wilson, explaining what made those old teams so hard to play against.
It is opinionated, nostalgic and full of classic Macca confidence as he asks the ultimate question. Would today’s teams really cope with the great sides of the past?

This week Simon is in the studio with Owen Coyle while Frank joins live from the Maldives, and what follows is one of the most entertaining conversations we have ever had on the podcast.
Owen gives his full backing to new Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy, defending the early tactical choices and laughing off the drama surrounding the now famous tiny tactics board. He also speaks strongly about former Rangers boss Russell Martin, condemning the horrendous abuse Martin has received and offering a warm assessment of him as both a coach and a person.
As a lifelong Celtic fan, Owen opens up about why he felt he could never have been a Celtic striker, and he addresses the rumours about whether he was ever close to becoming Celtic manager. He and Frank revisit the day of Frank’s second Celtic debut against Airdrie with Owen lining up on the opposite side, sharing brilliant memories from a colourful era of Scottish football.
Owen also relives the wild 5 to 3 promotion decider between Dundee and Queen’s Park at Ochilview, the pitch invasion that followed, and the moment Dundee boss Gary Bowyer tried to rush him to safety. Owen’s response sums him up perfectly: “I am from the Gorbals. I can handle myself.”
Packed with strong opinions, honesty and plenty of hilarious moments, this is Owen Coyle at his most open and relaxed. A brilliant episode for anyone who loves football, Celtic chat or a top class storyteller.

This week Frank sits down with a fellow former Celtic striker, the one and only Cillian “The Sheriff” Sheridan, for a fast, funny and wonderfully unpredictable conversation.
Cillian reflects on arriving in Scotland as a young Irish lad and the sheer delight of being handed a three year Celtic contract by the much loved Tommy Burns, a moment that changed everything for him. From there, his career became one of the great football odysseys as he tries to name all 17 clubs he has played for across Europe and beyond.
The Sheriff talks about learning Chinese on his travels, why he thinks Irish players have a special resilience, and how proud he is to see Ireland reach the World Cup play offs, helped by the heroics of Dublin boy Troy Parrott, who came through the same youth club.
Frank and Cillian also look ahead to the 2026 World Cup, sharing hopes, predictions and a fair bit of wishful thinking.
Warm, hilarious and full of stories only Cillian Sheridan could tell.

In this special episode, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston sit down with former Celtic director Brian Dempsey, the man who helped lead the 1994 “rebel takeover” that saved the club from collapse.
