A best of Sacked in the Morning featuring Ashton United co-chairman Jonathan Sayer and Liverpool Legend Steve Nicol

Is football club ownership all the Hollywood glitz and glam that the Wrexham story would have us believe? As an actor Jonathan Sayer was more at home in the West End or Broadway but when home town club Ashton United tweeted that they needed help he couldn't refuse. Now co-owner and co-chairman with his dad he takes us behind the scenes of running a non-league football team. From all the volunteers helping out, to the lengths they'd go to get a game on in the winter. Craig brings in his own experiences from helping out at Brechin City and working at Cowdenbeath plus reveals who the mystery leaker was during his time at Dundee United when the team was revealed on the internet every week.

Liverpool legend Steve Nicol joins Craig and Amy from his home in the States. What was the Liverpool legend's diet like as a player? Turns out not the best but did it matter? 5 league titles, 3 FA Cups and a European Cup suggests not really. We take a look back as his 10year stint as manager of New England Revolution and why he was happy to get the sack plus we hear the incredible tale of how (and why) he set a teammates wife's hair on fire.
