Jimmy Armfield - A Football Gentleman - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Ask Jimmy Armfield to describe his career and he will tell you it has been a "chapter of accidents". But there are few, if any, living Englishmen who can boast a football career with the same breadth - from one of the most accomplished full-backs to pull on the England shirt, to a successful manager, to a widely respected summariser. Armfield tells Mark Pougatch how close he came to the Munich air disaster, how injury prevented him from lifting the World Cup, what it was like following Brian Clough at Leeds, and why fans from Grimsby helped to persuade him to recommend Terry Venables as England manager.
