Daniel Mays | Getting Stick From Arsenal Fans, Working With Spielberg and Following Leyton Orient
Jimmy & Fenners ARE BACK! This week by the brilliant actor and Leyton Orient fan Daniel Mays.
One of the finest British actors of his generation, he’s been in too many to productions to mention but here’s few, Ashes to Ashes, Line of Duty, Des, White Lines, Pearl Harbour, Shifty, Vera Drake, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Suspect, A Thousand Blows and soon to be seen in the massive summer movie The Thursday Murder Club. What.A.CV.
In this episode we will find out what role Danny wants at FC Bullard, what the Arsenal fans chanted at him at a Leyton Orient game and the bizarre connection between acting great, Robert Duvall and Orient legend John Sitton (with a bit of The Fonz thrown in for good measure). Happy Days!
Follow Danny on Instagram @danielmays9 and we hope you enjoy this episode. Oh, and bring your dinner!

FC Bullard is a football club founded by Jimmy Bullard and Fenners.
Jimmy is the self-appointed President and Fenners is the Director of Football. Right now, they have nothing. No kit, no stadium, no manager, no badge, no players…
Each episode they decide what they need at FC Bullard and interview for the role. Sometimes they speak to big name guests from the world of football. Sometimes they hear from grass roots legends. Sometimes it’s just them two chatting absolute nonsense.
FC Bullard. Welcome to the club.
