Swimmer, midfielder and now pundit Ian Westlake is the star of the latest TWTD-Blue Monday Podcast collaboration.

Clacton-born Westlake, a talented swimmer as a youngster, came through the academy alongside the likes of Darren Bent, Darren Ambrose and Matt Richards and was a member of Joe Royle’s side which twice made the play-offs before moving on to Leeds United.

This season, the 38-year-old has been back at Portman Road as a regular co-commentator on iFollow.

An audio version of the podcast can be found on Apple, Acast, Amazon Overcast and Spotify.

EssexTractor added 13:16 - Oct 13 An excellent view..Westlake intelligent , humorous . Led me to watch the 2004-05 Season video under Joe Royle, Reminder of Westlakes excellent driving runs and such disappointment having been six points clear at the top, freezing in the second leg play off at home to West Ham. But so many goals , from Bent Kuqi, Miller and eight from Westlake . Great entertainment

Tractor_Boy_in_HK added 16:11 - Oct 13 By far the best colour commentator we've had for years. He adds so much insight into the match (eg how running patterns affect play), whereas others think the role is only to praise our team.
