In Episode 5 of ONE2ELEVEN, Alex Brooker sits down with Fenners to build his ultimate Arsenal XI.Unsurprisingly, the team leans heavily into the Invincibles era, a side packed with players that defined a generation for Arsenal supporters. With legends like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Robert Pires making the cut, alongside a few other personal favourites.Along the way Alex shares stories from his life around football. From covering the game as a young journalist to the unexpected chain of events that led him into television and ultimately onto The Last Leg. There’s also a touching reflection on why being involved with Soccer Aid means so much to him, and how special it feels to be part of something that raises money for such an important cause.The episode is full of the kind of moments that shape a fan: first trips to the stadium (including one where Alex forgot his glasses and had to borrow his mates mum's, which resulted in looking like Deirdre Barlow but still not being able to see), the players that felt larger than life growing up, and even a surprise pick when it comes to Arsenal kits opting for the classic yellow 1993 away shirt over the usual home colours.With plenty of laughs and a lot of nostalgia, this is ONE2ELEVEN at its best.LIFEJACKET.

Recalling youth coaches, old teammates and dressing room details like they happened yesterday.

From his first call-up to the Chelsea senior squad (involving a rushed kit print, the wrong colour, a trip to WHSmith's and a long night with felt-tip pens), reflections on just how physical Steven Gerrard and Patrick Vieira really were, and memories of preparing to face Pep Guardiola, only to end up coming up against a young Xavi instead.

In this episode of ONE2ELEVEN, actor and comedian Asim Chaudhry sits down with Fenners to build his ultimate Newcastle United XI.Blending old and new, Asim walks through the players, the moments and the memories that shaped his love for the club, with plenty of humour along the way. From claiming John Barnes could’ve been his dad, to insisting he’s got bigger calves than Jack Grealish (and proposing a very unofficial calf-off), it’s a team built as much on personality as it is football.There a Coloccini chant, a deep dive into retro kits, and a very specific argument for why home shirts need more stripes. Which strangely links back to a childhood obsession with zebras... no really.Asim also reflects on one of the most iconic moments in SoccerAM history when Chabuddy G nailed the crossbar challenge in leopard print shoes... Oh and speaking to Alan Shearer on Facetime.Funny, relaxed and full of love for the club, this is ONE2ELEVEN exactly as it should be.LIFEJACKET. Conversation keeps us afloat.

Company x Palace jacket worn confidently as double denim...partly because he called in some favours from Gareth Skewis.Along the way, Wayne talks about heading down to Palace HQ on a skateboard, falling over, scraping his knee and ripping his trousers; being gifted a custom Boda Skins jacket with his name stitched inside; and standing next to Tinie Tempah when red wine was inevitably spilled all over it.Expect the usual tangents, a few good laughs, and plenty of jacket chat.
