For this episode, we are joined by former England, Southampton and Everton striker James Beattie.

James talks about being an elite swimmer as a youngster and trading that in to scoop up dog shit at the Blackburn Rovers training ground.

He also chats about playing alongside Matt Le Tissier at Southampton, his theory for not being picked for Euro 2004 and tearing up Doug Ellis’ front garden.

Plus, we dig into your correspondence, including a look back at The Match and a quite sensational goalkeeping display from comedian Terry Alderton.
