Damn I missed it. 
I wanted to ask him if he regretted not signing Frank McAvennie from St Mirren when he had the chance.

There's always the Listen Again feature which will be up later on The Albion Roar site and on iTunes.
However, we didn't ask him about Frank Mac, nor about Ray Houghton sadly.

I just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to have Chris Cattlin on the show.
What came across, not just in what he said on the show, but when we went for a coffee afterwards was how passionate he is about football (hardly surprising), and how bitter and upset he is about how things have panned out at Brighton since he left - and not just in the way he left. He made it clear his feelings (on air and afterwards) about a particular board member - one who was there then and now.
He feels Coventry City have treated him better than the Albion, invited as he is to regular re-unions and pitchside presentations first at Highfield Road and the Ricoh Stadium. He is a hero up there, though that's not surprising as he played eight seasons in the old First Division for them - including Coventry's one year in Europe.
Moving on, when we were talking afterwards, he said that the ENTIRE board from 95-97 should be strung up from the seafront lamposts for what they did, not just Archer (whom he couldn't bring himself to name - only 'that bastard from Crewe'), Bellotti and Stanley (who behaved like a hooligan and should not have been allowed near a boardroom), but the others for behaving in a self-serving manner and letting Archer get control in the first place.
What got me wasn't just the intensity with which he spoke, there was gritted teeth and finger-jabbing in his delivery.
I won't repeat what he said about our present chief scout...
Bearing in mind it was him who made the statement a few weeks ago about feeling the 1979 side were under-appreciated, it was pointed out to him, not just from messages on here (with a mind to how many people subsequently said how much the days of '79 will live with them forever), how much his hard work at the club was and is appreciated by the fans. I don't think he realised that and was genuinely touched.
He was and is a true and passionate fan, happy to talk to anyone about football all day long. Suffice to say when he returns home in April, we will be seeking to have him back on the show, possibly with another alumnus from the class of '79 at the same time.

Haven't heard the interview yet (saving that for later tonight when I've got a bit of time), but did he see or was he shown the thread(s) on here where we said it very much WAS appreciated?

Indeed he was exceptional company and has many more tales to tell.
It seems that everyone from that era has tales a plenty about Mr Clough.

Finally got round to listening to this today - a fascinating interview relating to my earliest days as a fan. Interested to hear that his reminiscences were similar to most of the fans, if a little more diplomatic. At the time I think most believed that Sarah Ferguson would have more affective up front!
Can't wait to hear more guests from that era, well done chaps!
