New Podcast – In Conversation with James Moody

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to Friends of Pakati, for our latest podcast! This time we talk to an unsung hero for us, Scunthorpe United’s General Manager, James Moody!

*James Moody, often referred to as “Mr. Scunthorpe United*“

James has given Friends of Pakati significant help, support & advice over the years when we have asked for it, for which we are immensely grateful.

In his capacity as GM he is an extraordinarily busy man, but has always made time for us – including this and other Iron fan podcasts – as part of his positive approach to fan engagement.

For me personally, it was a pleasure talking to James about his life & his links to Scunthorpe United, reminiscing about when I first took my son Daniel to games back in 2014, & recalling the support Friends of Pakati have had from the club & so many of its fans since we started in 2019.
