Today, I am joined by Dr Gary James, academic, historian, Manchester City supporter and writer of several books including Joe Mercer's biography Football with a smile.


We cover a lot of ground, compare City's history and the common threads that run through both blue clubs in the great North West cities of Liverpool and Manchester, before getting into some great tales about Joe Mercer, beloved of Everton, Arsenal and Manchester City fans plus many neutral fans for sure.


Thanks to Gary for a really enjoyable talk. Gary can be found on Twitter here and his website brimming with content https://gjfootballarchive.com/. His website also includes links to the book, Joe Mercer OBE, Football with a smile .


Thanks for listening!
