29. Ian McMillan & Oakwell

The Ground Jewels

This week's guest is the poet, playwright and journalist, Ian McMillan. Ian has nominated Oakwell, home of Barnsley Football Club as his Ground Jewel.

Ian is an acclaimed writer known for his strong and distinctive South Yorkshire accent as well as being the first poet-in-residence at a Premier League club, an idea dreamed up in a pub.

We discussed what makes Oakwell special including, the magnificent floodlights; the poetry of football and what Ian beautifully calls 'The Theatre of Annecdote'.
