Undoubtedly one of football's greatest ever characters, there really is only one Barry Fry! From his first goal at Wembley in front of nearly 100,000 people and looking after a young George Best at Manchester United in the early 1960s, to his latest role at Peterborough United, a club that he's been married to for nearly 30 years! His beloved Posh have got a trip to Wembley to look forward to on Sunday, and this week Barry turned 80 years old, so it's a very good time for David Prutton to catch up with this gentleman of the game, who's got some of the best stories you'll ever hear!

S7 Ep6: Mick McCarthy Unfiltered
There are few people who can tell a story like McCarthy, and have the whole room bent double! David Prutton throughly enjoyed his day at Mick's house, talking about the early days at Barnsley to playing in the World Cup. Managing Ireland and his infamous fall out with Roy Keane, to talking to Steve Coogan about playing himself in the corresponding film, not to mention achieving the ultimate life goal of owning a fancy hot tap and what his favourite biscuit is! This is an episode that has it all, so sit down with a nice brew and possibly a packet of ginger nuts, and enjoy!

S7 Ep5: Billy Sharp Unfiltered
Billy Sharp is a home town hero. A 'Roy of the Rovers' style striker in his native Sheffield and a blade through and through. On this episode, David Prutton travels to Billy's home turf to talk about a career that has not only seen him score more than 100 goals for his boyhood club, but also move away to the South Coast with Southampton and travel abroad to LA Galaxy, before returning closer to home with his current club Doncaster Rovers, who will always have a special place in his heart. This is a brilliant chat about what it means to be in the business of scoring goals, and understanding the feelings of the fans on the terraces.

S7 Ep4: Steve Bruce Unfiltered
On this week's episode, David Prutton takes himself off to the seaside, to spend some quality time in the company of Blackpool FC manager Steve Bruce. From sharing a dressing room with Cantona, Kanchelskis, Giggs and Hughes, to realising every Geordie's dream of managing Newcastle United, Steve has enjoyed a remarkable career over his 4 decades in the game. He's got lofty ambitions for his Seasiders and is very much enjoying his time at Bloomfield Road, so who's to say he couldn't clock up an incredible 50 years of doing what he loves best!
