This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. Hello, welcome. Special edition at the time of this, we believe, at Barry Bannon is travelling to Millwall for his medical. I'm with James. I'll let him introduce himself in a sec for you. He is a fellow member of a championship group I belong to by default to a degree. I took over from a... a Reading fan who started it many, many, many years ago now, but we're keeping it going on the pre-sense that he will be back in charge of it soon.
What are the initial thoughts on Barry Bannan's transfer to Millwall?
But we have conversations here and there, and I believe that he's probably the best person we could get on board to tell us all about Barry Bannon. So, yeah, James, you might as well introduce yourself in case people want to watch your content going forward, mate.
Yeah.
Yes, I'm James from the Wednesday Till I Die podcast. So yeah, you can find us on all the major podcasting platforms on YouTube as well. Just search for either at WTID pod or the Wednesday Till I Die podcast. And yeah, you can find us there. And a very glowing intro there, mate. Did me good there.
to be fair mate we've known each other for probably what three four years now i think it is roughly and we we've had numerous amounts of conversations about this that and everything else um you know i mean you started there you've had your ups and downs we've we've been there as support and been there as um brain busting you know creating on ideas and stuff like that and listen this i think it's um it's a nice little group we got there's a good bunch of lads on there so um
Yeah, I'm just hoping I don't get kicked out, because obviously it is called the Championship Chat, and yeah, we're not going to be in the Championship for much longer, as I'm sure we might get onto in a bit, but obviously, yeah, we're here to talk about our legend, which is Barry Bannon, of course.
477 games for you, a one-club man as such. I've said plenty of times, he's the greatest Millwall-type player who doesn't play for Millwall. Do you understand what I mean by that? And does he fit that criteria, do you think?
Yeah, I mean, I suppose I've not really thought about that because all I've thought about is Barry Bannon playing for Sheffield Wednesday. I've not really thought that he would have. I thought he would have retired at Sheffield Wednesday, to be honest, but obviously circumstances have changed somewhat. But yeah, I know what you mean. I do a segment on our podcast where I delve into the comments from the other clubs on the message boards and stuff. And my God, I did not realise how many... Other fan bases hated Barry Bannon so much. I mean, you see it anyway, just in, you know, when teams come to Hillsborough, I don't manage to get to many away games, but, you know, the away fans just singing about Barry Bannon.
I'm like, wait a minute. I mean, we don't even sing about him as much as what other fans do. You know, you've got Derby fans. Obviously, Derby seemed to take a dislike to him. You've got... Birmingham, obviously, with his links to Aston Villa. You clearly got Sheffield United who don't like him. I mean, because he's been around for so long and he's kind of Mr. Sheffield Wednesday and he's Mr. EFL, I think, as well. Sky Sports tend to like Barry Bannon. He always seems to get the player of the match whenever we've got a game on Sky and stuff. But yeah, I suppose from that sense that he's always hated, I suppose that does kind of... fit in with Millwall really and no he's a fantastic player and he's one that I'm sure will do well for you even though of his age but I'm sure we'll get on to that
Yeah, no, I mean, to me, I just think it's a player which just doesn't stop. He's got vast years of experience. To still be playing at the age he is, you know, 36, he has to be in unbelievable condition. And the fact that he's now being signed at 36 is probably the oldest player we've had. But I think he's coming to us because of the experience and what he can bring us, that leadership and everything else. So to me, what sort of a player are we getting?
