How Newcastle United missed out on Didier Drogba as former Toon transfer chief shares secrets

Merry Christmas! We hope you're having a good one.

For today's episode, Andrew Musgrove is joined by Paul Montgomery - a man who has been at the top of the football scouting world for the best of 40 years.

He's worked with Sir Bobby Robson and Jim Smith, whilst also helped to build the Birmingham team that won the Carling Cup. Monty as he is known to many brought some of Newcastle's favourite players to the club - and recommended some that never signed but went on to be some of the best in the game.

Monty's career has been put down on paper through his new book 'Rough Diamond' - and you can buy a copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rough-Diamond-Nightclub-Footballs-Future/dp/1914197941.
