FC Bullard

Jimmy & Fenners are back at FC Bullard HQ and are joined by Sammy Lander, football's first ever 'Substitution Coach'. 

Sammy talks about the evolution of substitutes, his journey from becoming a non-league coach at 23 to working with the likes of the USA National Team and whether Jimmy would be an Exciter, Destroyer or a Closer. 

Gone are the days of "Bench Warmers" so put down your jelly babies, stop with your static stretching and tune in to this fascinating chat.

It may be the international break but there is no rest for Jimmy & Fenners who are back with a bonus episode of FC Bullard asking all the tough questions.

Where did Fenners see Prince William on a stag do? Should we have ‘goal music’ at FC Bullard? What are the intricate details of Paolo Di Canio’s pre-match grooming routine? 

We also debate the best goals we’ve ever seen live (as in, physically AT the stadium) including some iconic names such as Messi, Yeboah, Beckham and Luke Varney.

In the hotseat today is former Fulham kit man - Pudsey Bevan.

A man of many talents, including starring as Pudsey the bear in Children in Need for many years, Pudsey has some great stories about running a secret bar at Craven Cottage, serving Sir Alex Ferguson knock-off wine and picking up players’ pants.

As well as Fulham and Birmingham City, Pudsey has also worked for Wasps so is able to answer the age-old question; who needs looking after the most, footballers or rugby players?
