Downhill Second Half Podcast

What a way to kick off series three. We are joined by a legend of Barnet Football Club, ever synonymous for the best part of two decades and one of three managers to have won the Conference title, Paul Fairclough. We talked about the good times, the not so good times, the great times and everything in between.

In the final episode of Series Two, we spoke to one of the biggest names to have not only played for Barnet, but managed us too. Tony Cottee's time at the club was eventful, and here he has his say on what happened during that fateful season.

We caught up with another goalscorer who helped keep the Bees in League Two not once, but twice. Izale McLeod gave us his view of his prolific time at Barnet and Underhill.

It’s sort of Xmas! We took some time to respond to your questions and comments in this week’s podcast. Whilst largely focussed on The Hive episode, we also took on some lighter questions and finished off with an obscure Xmas Barnet Quiz which you can join in at home...

Having alluded to it all the way through the series, the three of us finally sat down and discussed our position on one of the most divisive issues in Barnet history: The Hive.

When you shoot he saves it, we caught up with goalkeeper Danny Naisbitt on his time at Underhill including being called into action on that day against Torquay and the fiery return with Dagenham and Redbridge.

Another trip down memory lane but this time with a difference as we catch with good friend and celebrated author Dan Whiting on his book, Barnet Affair. We compare memories and stories from two different generations and have a lot of good laughs on the way, including some exceptionally colourful language.

Legendary goalkeeper Maik Taylor joins the podcast this week to discuss his spell at Underhill that led to bigger and better things. Surely no Barnet player has gone on to make as many international appearances as this man.

With well over 200 appearances over a six year span, former club captain and record signing Greg Heald joins us to talk about his time at the club. From the origin of the "Groovy" nickname to stories of working for various managers over the years, this one will be well worth your time.

One of few to rack up over 200 appearances for Barnet, fan-favourite full back Sam Stockley joined us to talk us through his time at Underhill.
