In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to welcome a true legend of English football in Glenn Hoddle who joins hosts Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, and Jill Scott. 

We start by exploring Glenn’s unique style as a player ahead of his time, and move on to his picks for the current England team. The panel dives into a debate on Thomas Tuchel managing England and Glenn’s time working with Arsène Wenger at Monaco.

Glenn reflects on his flair for scoring from outside the box, his experience as a player-manager, and those who influenced his career. He also opens up about the challenges of taking on the England manager role and making tough decisions like leaving Gazza out of his 1998 World Cup squad.

Plus, Glenn shares personal moments, including his first heart scare and his life-threatening heart attack at BT Studios. The episode wraps up with his thoughts on England's chances of another major tournament victory - and Tottenham's struggles to win more trophies.

Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet.

In today’s episode, one of the best referees in the world - Howard Webb - joins hosts Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott.  

Howard shares how he dealt with managers, his new role at the PGMOL- and how refereeing in the modern game has changed.

The panel debate players delaying the game, law changes they would bring in, enrolling ex-players as referees, rolling substitutes and of course: should VAR be scrapped?

Plus, Howard takes us behind-the-scenes to his refereeing experience at the 2010 World Cup Final - where he dished-out 14 yellows and one red card in Spain’s win over the Netherlands.
