<p>Our Jim Beglin interview is a special moment in the brief history of our Show ‘n’ Tell series. While most soccer fans now know Jim for his co-commentary from around the game, he is the first former player to come on our show.</p>
<p>Beglin, who notably spent time at Liverpool and Leeds during his playing time, suffered from an injury-laden career. A major fracture in his leg during a Merseyside Derby damaged what was a promising young career as a left back.</p>
<p>Undeterred, he found new outlets to enjoy the game. Eventually, he found his way into radio commentary while sidelined with injuries. His knowledge of the game as a player allowed him to provide insight on the game. This opened doors on the TV side of co-commentary. Now, soccer fans hear Jim Beglin’s voice on Champions League and Premier League broadcasts.</p>
<p>Beglin says he actually has a bigger presence outside of England than in the country because his broadcasts are often for the world feeds or other broadcasters.</p>
<h3>Jim Beglin interview</h3>
<p>We get to know Jim’s career development from player into commentator. Certainly, he made the most of each opportunity presented to him despite misfortune with injuries.</p>
<p>Over his tenure off the pitch, Jim had the opportunity to call some of the most memorable games in the history of the sport. For example, he did co-commentary of the 2005 Champions League Final, which Liverpool overcame a 3-0 second-half deficit. Interestingly, Derek Rae also brought up this game in our interview not too long ago.</p>

<p>Clearly, that game lives fondly in the hearts of commentators and fans.</p>
<p>In the show and tell portion of our Jim Beglin interview, our guest provides a good mix items from his playing career and things garnered over his time as a commentator.</p>
<p>His promising career yielded early success with Liverpool, picking up hardware in his first season at Anfield. Of course, as stated previously, Jim shows what happened to his leg. An X-ray of his fracture shows the severity of his injuries, and proves how remarkable his comeback as a player was.</p>
<p>Similarly, success&nbsp;<em>off&nbsp;</em>the field warrants success in its own right. A pair of World Cup Finals are likely any commentators dream. However, soccer fans in Europe find an equally special connection to watching their nation compete on the world’s biggest stage.</p>
<h3>SHOW ‘N’ TELL</h3>
<p>The SHOW ‘N’ TELL series from World Soccer Talk allows viewers to see a new side of members of the soccer media. Undoubtedly, these broadcasters, podcasters, writers or former players/coaches have things from their career that many would consider extremely rare. It could be a certain kit, a matchday program, a boot or frankly any kind of collectible.</p>
