"I snuck my way onto the Inter bus.." | The life of an Italian football journalist

Italian football journalist Paddy Agnew joined the Football Show to discuss his 35-year career in the most storied league in European football.

Agnew spoke to us about the time that, in an early demonstration of youthful enthusiasm, he managed to get into the Inter Milan team bus when Liam Brady was in his pomp.

Brady, not long in the league himself, was a natural draw for an Irish journalist looking to cut his teeth.

Inter the bus

It was after a match between Brady's side Inter away to minnows Pisa that Agnew attempted his feat of derring-do.

"Inter had lost the game 1-0 - it was the first and only time that Inter had lost to Pisa and will probably never happen again!

"At the end of the match, I showed a rare piece of enterprise and initiative by walking round to where the buses were parked, and walked up to the Inter team bus.

"Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was standing on the steps of the bus and I said 'I'm an Irish reporter, could I run down and have a word with Liam Brady?'

"Rummenigge shouts down the bus 'Liam - there is an Irish reporter here for you!'

"They let me on, and Liam looked at me and said 'Paddy - you shouldn't be on the bus!'

Check out the video and podcast for more from Paddy about Italian football and Diego Maradona's time in Naples.
