Danny is joined by former Blackpool, Leeds United and most recently Sunderland manager, Simon Grayson. Simon enjoyed a career as a professional footballer playing for some of England’s top clubs including Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers. But he’s most recognized for his time spent at Leicester City as a player, in the early 90s, and then as Manager of Leeds United, from 2008 to 2012.

Simon recently featured in the Netflix documentary, Sunderland Til I die, a fly-on-the-wall series about Sunderland’s first season in the Championship, following relegation from the Premier League.
