"And Smith Must Score!"
"Bairdy's Gonna Get 'Ya!" - Ian Baird on Leeds and life in the 1980's
Show Notes

Stig, Mick & Marv meet a man with a story to tell in the shape of Leeds United's Cult Hero Ian Baird as they tackle the painful issue of the Hillsborough Semi in '87.

This is simply magnificent if you love the Cup.

How much can you dream of Cup glory?

How devastating is it to see Keith Houchen score the sort of goal you were famed for?

How badly can your career be guided?

Bairdy did it all himself and he did it brilliantly.

Playing under Billy Bremner, falling out with Alan Ball, telling Howard Wilkinson to stuff it and suffering the consequences as Carl Shutt scores at the Nou Camp.

All this and his wannabe Chris Waddle mullet.

He should have gone to Celtic. 

It's a gas!
