90Plus Podcast: Episode 39 – Kenny Miller interview + new beginnings
Welcome to the 90Plus Podcast, the newest addition to the Beautiful Game Network. The 90Plus Podcast features game recaps, player ratings, one-on-one feature interviews, and a whole lot more. The two co-hosts, Ben Righetti and Sebastian Pereira, are a pair of up-and-coming soccer journalists in Vancouver, covering the Vancouver Whitecaps for just over a year now. In fact, today’s episode is the 1 year anniversary of the first 90Plus Podcast episode, so we thought that there would be no better time to join the Beautiful Game Network.
And what an anniversary episode it is! Former Whitecaps, Rangers, Wolves and Scotland striker Kenny Miller joins the show (13:17) all the way from Sydney. The three chat about Miller’s time with the Whitecaps, as well as his career in Europe, his career highs and lows, and the early years of Miller’s coaching career. Also discussed are Miller’s relationship with former Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson, some of his favourite memories both in Vancouver and throughout Europe, and Scotland’s thrilling penalty shoot-out win over Serbia last fall.
Ben and Sebastian also go over all the new changes to the podcast before the interview, including their network deal with the Beautiful Game Network, sponsorships with Ruffneck Scarves and Icarus FC, new Instagram account, new logo, and more!
