Keith Daniell with some big-headed bloke

At the end of last season, our very own Steven Toplis and Tom Newton met up with former Central TV sports reporter Keith Daniell. In part 1 of our interview, Keith tells us about his aspirations to be a footballer, his pivot into media, and shares his thoughts on Brian Clough's approach to interviews.

And in part 2 of our interview we hear about Keith's interactions with Frank Clark, and how they contrasted with Cloughie; we also get his views on Pierre van Hooijdonk and a story about Ron Atkinson; and was Keith partly responsible for Michael Dawson's career as a Sky Sports pundit?
