Rebounder Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 May be of interest to some Nicky Hunt has done an Undr the cosh. Not listened to it yet but will do so. I found they got a bit boring the more I listened too but found some of them good. https://youtu.be/6MnAZAMSKMQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall’s Splinter Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 I’ve listened to loads of these. Really enjoyable. Few classics in there too in Andy Johnson, Simon Ferry and Leon Knight. Good blend in the guys who host it too, they come across well. Often find myself chuckling away whilst walking the streets.

jambodinho Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 I listened to this this morning hoping there would be some revealing information about his time with us but it was all about his time at Bolton. Part 2 is out next week so bound to get asked about his time in Bristol in that part. I must say though, he’s quite a funny guy, got some funny stories. Quite a likeable chap.

By all accounts he was a very popular character off the pitch in his time with us. Still pretty close with a lot of the players that he played with here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmissionImpossible Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I enjoyed the first few podcasts they did but they are dreadfully ill prepared and Jon Parkin really doesn’t have a clue about anything. Plenty better similar shows out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he will cover it in the second part of the podcast but it was my understanding that Hunt was suffering with severe depression before and whilst he was with City. Pretty sure there is a poster on here that knows more about it than me, who may be along shortly to clarify.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Under The Cosh? Don't you mean 'Whip' or 'Starters Orders', for Hunt was 90% equine (by which I don't mean throughbred.) He played as though his eyes were on the side of his head, he couldn't see right in front of him, constantly having to rock his napper to and fro. When he jumped he resembled the radar scanner at Lulsgate. Feet like hooves to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being puzzled about how crap he was at the time. Didn't he have a serious injury though - maybe that hit his confidence such that he could never be the player he was?

Yes that's my understanding too - hoping he might discuss on the next episode but there were clearly some off the field issues with him when he was here. Thankfully now we seem to be on the way to a more open society where players can discuss things like this but back then, even if it was only 10 years ago, things like depression and anxiety were not associated with footballers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still pretty close with a lot of the players that he played with here He said in part 1 that he keeps in contact with a lot of his former team mates and that he’s off to see Ivan Campo in Spain later in the year. Seems to be a popular guy and comes across likeable. Rumours of him suffering with depression before and during his time with us could be true and could explain why he wasn’t the player we were hoping he’d be for us. At the end of the first episode he’s talked about how he’d just signed a new 4 year contract with Bolton and then Big Sam gets the Newcastle job and in came Gary Megson (been mentioned in a few Undr the cosh podcasts before that Megson isn’t particularly well liked in the game) A couple of months later Megson brought in Gretar Steinsson who pretty much became first choice RB from then on. Signing a 4 year deal with your home town club in the premier league, playing regularly, linked with Liverpool and to be frozen out all of a sudden. Could explain his depression if that was the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was really ill with depression, And as a suffer of depression and knowing first hand how it can effect you and your work, Hunt has all my sympathy and more, the way I look back on in is a player who was basically our "injured" for his entire time here through no fault of his own Dani Rodriguez or elokobi if you will It wasn't a stolen living it was someone who was mentally ill 19 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
