When Shorts Were Short S2 E14 - TERRY BUTCHER

When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.

My guest this week is former Ipswich, Rangers and England captain Terry Butcher. We take a look at the second half of Terry's 1981-82 season when, playing for Ipswich in the FA Cup 4th Round at promotion-chasing Luton, he suffered a curious and near-fatal injury, one of the strangest injuries ever seen in English football. And yet somehow, Terry recovered to nail down a place in England's World Cup side that summer.

Film location sought for my comedy short

I’ve now completed the writing of my comedy short and am looking to film it in the next few months.

While I’ve sorted out one of my locations for the shoot, I do need to source the main location before pre-production can move onto the next stage.

I’m looking for someone who might allow me to film in their place for free. I haven’t scheduled the shoot yet but obviously I’m looking to keep filming as short as possible, so it shouldn’t be more than 2-3 days of filming or less.

What I’m looking for

A flat, doesn’t have to be in south London (though that would make things easier), within a block. Would be filming exterior shots, shots of the porch, front door, communal hallways, communal staircase (needs to have one) and then within the flat itself, the bedroom, kitchen, front room and a study or a spare room that can be converted to look like a study on the day.

If you’re able to help, or put me in touch with someone that can, please drop me an email with ‘comedy short’ in the title. Should the flat tenants/owners wish to appear in the comedy short as extras, as a thank you my end, that can be arranged.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Daniel Ruiz Tizon is Available Ep 365 CHRISTMAS EVE 2021

Daniel Ruiz Tizon, a man on his fifth nose, is, he’d like the world to know, Available, and dissecting the minutiae of everyday life.

CHRISTMAS EVE 2021 Special

Some festive housekeeping, a collapsible bed that actually collapses with our little-heard host in it, a brief Star Wars Christmas Cup final preview and more. Plus the hour-long 2018 The Café Chronicles Bumper Christmas Annual that aired on Resonance FM on Christmas Eve 2018, coming to you from the South Lambeth Portuguese café DRT has holed himself up in since the summer of 2001.

As the gentrification sweeping through Nine Elms and Vauxhall accelerates, The Café Chronicles documents the characters and community threatened by these changes. This packed festive edition features chin fissures, cartoon flattened pastries, leviathan eclairs, hairy chested waiters in open necked shirts shedding chest hair in customers coffees, and Old Twitter, the octogenarian couple with their newspapers breaking yesterday’s news today. And Daniel looks back at an old Christmas exchange with a café regular that kick-started the erosion of his long-prized anonymity in the café.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.

This week, I’m talking with Gary Bailey, the former Manchester United and England ‘keeper, son of Ipswich’s title-winning ‘keeper Roy and Gary himself, as we’ll hear, as part of Ron Atkinson’s very talented early to mid-80s side really should’ve had at least one league title winner’s medal of his own. He almost did, but not under Atkinson. The less stellar Dave Sexton side of 1979-80 almost landed a surprise title win in a neck and neck battle with Bob Paisley’s greatest Liverpool side, and had United claimed that unexpected title, the club’s modern history would’ve been very different.

When Shorts Were Short - S2 E09 David Snowdon (Part 2 of 2)

When Shorts Were Short concerns itself solely with what was actually a very narrow window in football history when teams wore, well, short shorts. The podcast takes 1954 as its starting point, when Umbro made their first England kit with shorter shorts, to 1992, when short shorts were all but finished as Umbro's baggy shorts for Tottenham's new kit, ahead of the '91 FA Cup Final, quickly caught on.

If the shorts weren't short, we just don't talk about it.

This week, the second and final part of our David Snowdon interview looking at the ultimately doomed Alan Durban ’81-84 era at Sunderland. If you missed the first part, park this episode here and download the opening instalment and listen to that first.

David, the author of Give Us Tomorrow Now, Alan Durban’s Mission Impossible, his take on the Durban era, talks enthusiastically and with no end of regret for what he and many Sunderland fans of his generation feel was a wasted opportunity. A promising side under a still young manager who had promising work at Stoke behind him, was allowed to come to nothing.

If the shorts weren't short, we don't talk about it.

This episode (part 1 of 2), a look at Alan Durban’s ultimately doomed efforts in the early 80s to help Sunderland’s then young side realise its immense promise. David Snowdon, author of Give Us Tomorrow Now, is the go-to authority on Alan Durban’s Sunderland tenure. His 2018 book looked at Durban’s arrival at Roker Park in the summer of ’81 and his attempt at waking one of English football’s eternal sleeping giants.

Durban, a title winner with Derby under Brian Clough and a future guest on this podcast, gave up his secure managerial post with Stoke for the North East and in this first part of our interview, David Snowdon tells us about Durban’s battle to lay down the foundations of future success in his opening season, the 1981-82 campaign, as the boardroom grew impatient with both manager and chairman.
