From Pete on Bobby Robson's Newcastle, to Andy on Pep's Barcelona, what's not to love?!

Get these episodes, ad-free Ramble and Upfront episodes, and more for just $5/month. Just head over to patreon.com/footballramble for more information!

With Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr, he’s now played for five different clubs in five different countries. So he has officially joined that revered, mocked and suspicious legion: the journeymen! But, what are they? What makes them tick? And why can some players – and clubs – just never settle?

Today, we take a deep dive into the players and managers who simply cannot stop moving: including the goalkeeper who has played on every continent, the striker who was caught with cocaine at Chessington World of Adventures, and Sven – obviously.
