Proper Football with Les Ferdinand

This week's guest with Kammy and Ben on the Proper Football Podcast is a Premier League legend: former QPR, Newcastle, Tottenham and West Ham striker Les Ferdinand.

Who stopped him from joining Manchester United? What changed his relationship at Newcastle with Kevin Keegan and which modern day manager blew his mind?

He takes us inside his former position as Director of Football at QPR: why he left and what he would change. He also discusses how believes he was judged differently due to his colour and the lack of opportunities for black people in executive roles within football.

Elsewhere, he reveals why he still considers Euro 96 to be a painful experience, who was his toughest opponent and remembers the time he and his QPR team-mates were tricked into wearing some unusual football kits on Noel’s House Party.
