Years ago, I have no idea why The Sun posted his phone number when he was at Birmingham, I think one of his players went missing or something. Me and some workmates decided to call it for a laugh a few days later and I got straight through to him and said " Hi Barry this is Dave Tucker from the Telegraph"...all bull shit of course, I was some raggy arsed telesales guy. However Barry fell for it, and we had a 2 minutes conversation about what I can't remember. However, at the end I decided to come clean, who I was and he told me " Fuck me son, you should get into journalism you had me fucking fooled you cunt" whilst laughing :)...Top bloke :)
@@martingould2231 I know Barry pretty well from doing Security at a few of his after dinner talks. He is pretty liked and always gives value for money. I asked him if he knew Martin Gould and he said your a wrong un.
Barry Fry is football, how it should be and how it should be played, there is no one more passionate about the game in this universe. He is a proper bloke, he deserved so much more.
Barry Fry is one in a million. Wheeler, dealer. The Del Boy of football. So glad I got to enjoy one of the best seasons in the modern era when he managed my club Birmingham City. Man, I miss 90's football!!
I'm an Irish person who supports his local team, I recall a match I attended which also happened to be attended by the President of Ireland and the team that Barry Fry owned (I think it was Peterborough). There were quite a few players from the team there as well as various other personalities from the game (both here and England). Anyways the President takes his seat just as the match is starting. He passes through a load of people, at the end of it the only person to greet him was Barry Fry, who went out of his way to show his respects, class act. The rest of them had their head down and barely acknowledged the guy was passing through.
I remember Birmingham playing at the New Den, 1996 I think it was. At the first game at St Andrews, Millwall were top, Blues were 2nd. It was like WWIII between both sets of fans, before, during, and after the game. A fan jumped on the touchline and assaulted one of the Millwall subs (Dave Savage I think?) during the first half. As a result, at The New Den, a Police corden was placed around Fry and the away dugout to protect them from fans looking for revenge. There were some crazy times at football in the 90's!!
Was a top prospect as a young footballer, I always thought he was niave as a manager but his teams we're hard to beat, most the time!!!!! One of them managers who worked better with nothing than spending a lot of cash. Proper man from back in the day, with character and a very humble man too, great career but it's a if only for his playing days and well done as a manager/owner put his money where his mouth is for Peterboro. Full respect for Mr Fry from me.
Barry Fry is the typical underdog: you know he's up against it but you can't help rooting for him. He looks like a stand up comedian but with hilariously bad language. Very best of luck to him.
Well just watched this & the Warnock one also back to back & my head is full of sweary words. Is this about 20 years ago? Its the last of the flat cap managers, now its Spanish Italian et all. Now the players just cry into their wallets, also it was nice to see muddy pitches in the winter, its just all too perfect now. Big Ron next!
"The noisy, hard-swearing Fry is a man made for television documentary. We met him previously when he was the manager of Birmingham City. That ended in his sacking, and he moved to Peterborough. This film charts his first year in charge. Putting his money into the club, as well as his non-stop mouth, Fry starts with high ambitions. Three wins in the first 17 matches scupper both - and as the team slides farther towards relegation, the dressing-room dressing downs get fiercer and Fry's language descends from bad to appalling. But his stoic wife ("my best signing") and six children provide a domestic respite. Broadcast ITV (UK) Saturday 24 May 1997"
Noticed that Barry had a special bollocking for Simon Clark in that Cup defeat. Clark joined my club Leyton Orient where he didn't improve much. But Barry's comment "You cost us on Saturday you fucking fairy" was a classic.
love the clip at 40:17 "GO ON MIGUEL, GO ON MIGUEL, OHHHHHH F***ING HELL!" as he does that he almost elbows a little girl alongside him in the dugout (his daughter?) in the face - makes me laugh every time i watch it!
Barry seems to have no set way of playing and jumps from one idea to the next. The players seem confused and frightened to move seats for fear of reprisal. No one seems to know where they are with him.
Bless Barry getting De Souza and his agent asked for a bonus for reaching 30 goals a season? WTF De Souza never scored 30 goals ever period. Maybe Barry knew this was a no hoper so agreed to it. Should have gone for Gareth Seddon type or someone like that. A kid whom scored goals in lower leagues. De Souza lol
Shaves like a faker! Come on...you don't really think there's a blade in there do you?...he'd have cut himself to ribbons. He'd shaved previously..taken the blade out..soaped up again and " shaved " at hi speed for the cameras. You try shaving like that with a blade...make sure you've got plenty of tissue handy!

'Life's full of bloody surprises' I swear that's his number one quote 😂
The last bit here is absolute gold, relegated, club in a mess , come back next year will be raring to go mate 😂 brillant. Top man.
Managers must be knackered at end of game. Even as a kids team manager i am drained after a game . The constant encouragement and advice kills ya
Nice narrative by Sean bean, top actor and working class football fan.
Not many people in football like him,then and now. 👏
Fantastic stuff.
He lives around the corner from me. I see him in the post office or chip shop every now and then.
an absolute legend.
What a guy
‘How much? HOW MUCH!?’
I still say it in BF’s voice.
Great bloke 👍🏻
great banter
Would of loved to of had him with us at Millwall
He would of fitted right in.
Practically would of blended into the crowd.

what a character lovely bloke full of passion, nice to see peterborough at the top of league 1 at the moment with him as director class!
Twitter?
i remember the wrexham game, what a goal by Kevin Russell, still havent forgiven him even after everything else he has done for us!!
Met him at service station years ago...Nice bloke!!!
A genuine football guy.God knows be what he makes of the money in the game today
He loves money.
" Got to be money well spent"
" It is, 5"
so he got a survival bonus of 40k (5k for 8 matches) just for staying in the league?
No, if they survived he would have got 5k
Hero-level commitment and passion. Awesome guy

LOVELY!
Honestly, when that fellas teeth come out 😂😂

Looks more like 30 years ago looking at some of the cars in the film.
Defo at least 30 years ago as they were in Division 2!
This was only the mid 00s, I think..
Yeah this is mid 90s i remember the kit
This was the 1996/1997 season. Peterborough finished in 21st, the last of the relegation spots 5 points from safety.
03:41 Comedy Genius from those editing this programme!
Amazing, jsut look where we are now

Don't make characters like Fry anymore :( great craic.
How much! how much! HOW MUCH!
I recorded this on VHS at the time and watched it loads. Typically Peterborough hammered Burnley on this . . . . I'm a Burnley fan 🙈
If Del Boy was a football manager...!!!
Noticed that Barry had a special bollocking for Simon Clark in that Cup defeat. Clark joined my club Leyton Orient where he didn't improve much. But Barry's comment "You cost us on Saturday you fucking fairy" was a classic.
Id pay entrance fee just to see him run up and down that touchline
2:51 his teeth fell out 😂
A real manager, at a real club.
THERE IS ONLY 1 BARRY FRY BLUES FAN KEPT US UP STILL A BLUE NOSE
Quickly Kevin do a great podcast episode on this.
27:01 Is pure comedy, defend the fucking back post!
Bollocks! lol
3:04 Fucking hopless lol free headers here, free headers there!
“It only takes one person” is a shit thing to put up on the wall in a team game
love the clip at 40:17 "GO ON MIGUEL, GO ON MIGUEL, OHHHHHH F***ING HELL!" as he does that he almost elbows a little girl alongside him in the dugout (his daughter?) in the face - makes me laugh every time i watch it!
Is Sean Bean narrator?
yes he is
When you're sitting in the pub 5 minutes before kick off and 20 minutes after.
Who'd be a football manager seriously
that's some aggressive shaving
Phil Neal. Good god!
Ned Stark on the narration! Winter is coming...
There IS only one Barry Fry. Football would be in a far better place if there were a lot more Barry fry's.
Is that Sean Beane narrating?
Oh you bastard
Ahhh... the days when Wrexham where slightly feared
Lewis decent cup team way back.
Was watching this wondering why I was thinking of O2, then realised that the narrator is most probably Sean Bean..."see what you can do".
"Hux...fucking hopeless. Fucking hopeless as a defender, fucking hopeless as an attacker."
Came here from Twitter
A passionate man about football but was to tactics as I am to brain surgery.
Diamond geezer! What year was this?
Alex O'Dowd 1996/97 season
Chris Collins Nice one, thanks mate!
Alex O'Dowd your welcome, do you know Barry fry has been a Peterborough for over 20 years
Chris Collins
Really? What is his role there now? Last I hear he was director with Fergie in charge though that was ages ago, eh?
Director of football
46:45 a team with a conservatory for a dugout!
That guys teeth flew out was so funny
I would say this chap is dodgy as f, but he is one true character
The players probably realised the writing was on the wall the minute Phil Neal walked in.
“Yes boss, the moment I walked in boss.”
Twitter brought me here
What a character lol
Was '97
43:41 Shit firm!
interesting motivational technique to put the nut your left back at half time
Wait, so he was the owner, realized how fucked financially he was, sold the club, and somehow re-bought the club by 2006??
winter is coming
36min Wheeler dealer!
26:11
36:16
Barry seems to have no set way of playing and jumps from one idea to the next. The players seem confused and frightened to move seats for fear of reprisal. No one seems to know where they are with him.
Transfer deadline?
Hahaha he spat his teeth out,
Walking advertisements for brushing your teeth
Quickly Kevin anyone?
Bazza should have been England manager
Barry fry ain't no saint , lots Dodgy contracts that benifited him and not the so called I've got players bk !!!
He's done very well out of some rather shrewd deals.
Narrated by Ned Stark
snickers!!!!!!!!!! Hire a nut rishionist
“Fancy a big love?” 😂
2.53 hahahahha
Theres a circus in the town
Barry Fry he is the clown.......
Narrative inside appearance head egg quarterback environmental loyalty.
Bless Barry getting De Souza and his agent asked for a bonus for reaching 30 goals a season? WTF De Souza never scored 30 goals ever period. Maybe Barry knew this was a no hoper so agreed to it. Should have gone for Gareth Seddon type or someone like that. A kid whom scored goals in lower leagues. De Souza lol
Haha yeah I had to look up his record after that. Only ever scored 5 for the Posh!
He bought De Souza at Birmingham too. He was hopeless for us.
Don't worry Barry! Fergie has smashed your worst form record this season lol
I think I have a better connection with Barry's kids then he has
In League one hahahaha
Shaves like a faker!
Come on...you don't really think there's a blade in there do you?...he'd have cut himself to ribbons.
He'd shaved previously..taken the blade out..soaped up again and " shaved " at hi speed for the cameras.
You try shaving like that with a blade...make sure you've got plenty of tissue handy!
Exactly what i thought. Cut to ribbons. He looked clean shaven at the start
