Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast.

On this week’s show I chat with former Gunner Alan Smith as he celebrates the release of his new book ‘Heads up – My life story’. We discuss how the book came to be, the fact he wrote it himself without a ghostwriter, his path into professional football, joining Arsenal from Leicester, his relationship with George Graham, scoring goals – important goals, moving into punditry, the challenges of that job and lots more.

There’s also some brief waffle about the West Ham game this weekend – and if you want to win a copy of Alan’s book, check out the competition on the site here.

You’ll find all the download and subscription links below, and you can always subscribe in your favourite podcasting app by searching for ‘arseblog’ or ‘arsecast’. All our archives are found on site or via our Acast page.

If you are a regular listener via iTunes, if you would be so kind as to leave a review/rating that would be greatly appreciated.
