Overview

Welcome back to Stick to Football. This week, music royalty joins the panel as The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr sits down with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright. From his early days with The Smiths to the chaos of managing the band at just 23, Johnny reflects on the highs, lows and lasting impact of one of Britain’s most iconic groups, and how close they really are to a reunion. We also hear about Johnny’s deep love for Manchester, growing up in the city, and how football culture shaped his life. He opens up about his support for Manchester City, his friendship with Roy Keane, and the surprising crossover between the football and music worlds. Plus, we get into Bond soundtracks, favourite guitarists, and what it takes to stay grounded after decades in the spotlight. As always, get involved in the comments and let us know your thoughts, who is your favourite British band? And would you like to see The Smiths reunite?
