    Ep 1: Genius

    Do you need to have a genius in your team to win a World Cup?

  • Ep 2: Goalscorer

    Ep 2: Goalscorer
    Nov 10 2022

    If you want to win football matches then scoring plenty of goals usually helps. But does having the tournament’s top goalscorer mean you are guaranteed silverware? A look at recent history would suggest it may not be clear cut.

    This is Gary’s chance to defend the art of the goalscorer and explain the mentality needed to be the very best. Meanwhile Cesc wonders whether England might need to do the unthinkable and drop Harry Kane if they want to lift the trophy.

Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed this show, it's perfect listening just before and while the World Cup is on. The connection between Gary and Cesc makes it really easy listening and hearing endless brilliant stories from two of the greats of the game is an absolute joy. I'll never be able to look at chocolate croissants and Nesquik the same way...!
