About Us

‘The Three Amigos’ - Garry Birtles, Alan Birchenall & Roger Davies were brought together on a hugely popular East Midlands radio football phone-in, from their beloved former clubs, Nottingham Forest, Leicester City & Derby County respectively.

It was always a lively and entertaining show with ‘dressing room style’ banter and local rivalry between them and the callers alike, but equally interesting discussion of a variety of local and even national footballing issues of the moment.

On the arrival of Alan Birchenall on to the show , he was soon to decide that everyone needed ‘a handle’ – (a nickname, in true Birchism terms!). Therefore, Garry Birtles was subsequently named ‘Beaujolais’ and Roger Davies was named ‘Stretch’ – explanations available on request from Alan Birchenall if required! Alan chose to retain his more conventional nickname of ‘The Birch’ and so they evolved.

From time to time, the show was broadcast live from various venues around the East Midlands (or as live as they could ever be, according to Birch!), which added to the entertainment and brought together their listener audience from the many different teams around the region and beyond.

Sadly the show was brought to an end in July 2006, much to the dismay of its hugely loyal following of East Midlands listeners and callers alike.

Since then, the public reaction and response has been so immense that it has prompted us to now become ‘Legends Reunited’.

We are available for bookings for Question & Answer evenings, social evenings, corporate and after dinner events etc.
