Episode 8 - Golden in Hindsight (with Kelly Cates)
Manage episode 279415876 series 2800515
It's the final episode of the series and Sachin is going out with a bang given he's joined to talk all things Scotland by the brilliant broadcaster, Kelly Cates.
Kelly is in typically captivating form as she reflects on her relationship with the country of her birth and its national team. There is a lot of love there but also some difficult feelings based on the fact Kelly moved south of the border when she was only two. The word "fraud" is used and there is clear frustration that many people do not recognise her Scottish roots.
Kelly is deeply proud of those roots and is a fully paid-up member of the Tartan Army, seen in her reaction to Scotland's qualification for next year's Euros via victory over Serbia. Kelly discusses the emotions she felt that night and what she hopes Steve Clarke's men go onto achieve next summer, specifically in regards to their game against England.
There's also discussion about following Scotland in previous decades as well as being the daughter of the country's greatest international - Sir Kenny Dalglish. The sense of pride, not to mention some lovely tales involving a beach towel and a Glasgow restaurant like no other.
Kelly also goes through her all-time Scotland XI, which is brilliant and amusing in equal measure.
So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot.
Cheers!
