This week on The Captain’s Table, Giles “The Captain” Morgan welcomes former track cyclist Sir Chris Hoy on board The Rive Gauche. 6 times Olympic gold medalist and 11 times world champion - Chris is undoubtably one of Great Britain’s most successful ever athletes. A proud Scot - Chris shares his love of Scottish Rugby, who his heroes were growing up in Edinburgh and what it was like to face The Haka.

Analysing the coronavirus disaster for sport. Where to now? Which dominoes fall? How does sport come out the other end? The lads wind the tape forward. Goals and Own Goals around Agnelli elitism, losing to Atletico, Rory’s principles, Charles Barkley generosity vs Frank Williams selfishness, and losing the best voices in sport. 

A more serious and in depth discussion this week from the lads to discuss the impacts of coronoavirus on sport and economics. Football financier Fausto Zanetton explains how big finance is changing sport in every way, and how that actually works at the sharp end. Agnelli and super leagues et al. Passion vs cold rationality.

This week on The Captain’s Table, Giles "The Captain" Morgan welcomes former Welsh Rugby Union and Great Britain Rugby League superstar Jonathan Davies on board The Rive Gauche. A light-hearted 35 minute chat around the galley table where Jonathan shares his passion for sport, Cornish pasties & who his own 70s Welsh rugby hero was growing up in South Wales.

The boys talks about coronavirus and sport, and where the dominoes will fall. The unfairness of gender fluid sports, and drugs cheaters revisited. Adam Levine and Sharapova. Magnificent sports rage cursing from Jim McLean to F1. The usurping of the BDO and disruption lessons from the Hearns family. Boxing costumes and denim fashion disasters. And Rocky revisited with ice hockey goaltenders.

The lads welcome football insider Duncan Castles to discuss the seedy underbelly of football. Wee Jim and bribery in Rome, pushing the drugs envelope in Brescia, Ollie’s awfully cosy agent, and “gaming” FFP on a grand scale. Does UEFA have an “out shot”?  Very candid. 

This week, the World Number One golfer Rory McIlroy is welcomed onboard The pirate ship The Rive Gauche by "Captain” Giles Morgan and his ill-tempered parrot Leanne.  What follows is a light-hearted 35 minute chat around the galley table and where Rory shares his passion for Manchester United, Ulster Rugby and who his heroes were growing up in Northern Ireland.

The boys (nervously) laugh at the absurdity of politics and sport including: the best Presidential insults; floating mulligans; forgetting your nation’s anthem; diddy internationals; the rate card for holding Avuero‘s hand; and the future of pensioner’s baseball. If you don’t laugh you’d cry!!

With Grant (009) in absentia saving the world, Roger and Giles "The Captain" play host to the wonderfully elegant and smart Caroline Rowland. From bidding for big sports events to content that now works a new decade, THIS is a fantastic fresh perspective from a person who has absolutely influenced the sector for the last 15 years. 

Giles "The Captain" Morgan invites Irish Rugby Union legend, Brian O'Driscoll, to sit down to the captain's table. Brian tells us the unique nature of being a fan of Gaelic football in Ireland, why stadium burgers are best avoided at live events, where the most terrifying place to be on a golf course is, and how talent is something that you need to be a truly great chef.  All this tasty stuff and much more on The Captain's Table.
