“We were always fighting at Man Utd. You don’t need to be friends to win” ⚽ Jaap Stam | Up Front

On today’s episode we are joined by one of the most dominant defenders in Premier League history.

Jaap Stam spent three seasons at Manchester United, lifting the Premier League title every year. In 1999 he would add the FA Cup and the Champions League to his trophy cabinet as he helped United to historic treble.

His infamous autobiography led to an explosive Ferguson fall out, which saw Jaap leave for Italy. First at Lazio and then onto AC Milan where he would be involved in another iconic Champions League moment, the miracle in Istanbul.

Now a manager with experience in England, the Netherlands and the USA, Jaap joins the show to give us the inside scoop on his rocky relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, the controversy around his failed drugs test as well as his thoughts on the Dutchmen currently plying their trade in the Premier League.
