Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Jody Morris from season one.

In part two, we hear about an epic Champions League battle against Louis van Gaal’s Barcelona in 2000, in which Jody owned a young Xavi. He turned down a contract renewal with his beloved Chelsea to join Graeme Souness at Blackburn, but the deal fell through and Jody’s career was never really the same. But Jody has survived and thrived because he understands football and knows how to break it down.

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Damien Duff from season one.

Mourinho’s seven-page dossiers on his opponents were grist to the mill for this keen student of the game. There’s also great stuff about how Fulham manager Roy Hodgson plucked him from an unhappy spell at Newcastle and gave him a new lease of life at the wonderful Craven Cottage.

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Damien Duff from season one.

In part one, Damien describes how as a kid he instinctively knew to practice for hours alone to develop his ball skills. He tells about cleaning Tim Sherwood's boots and struggling with homesickness as a youngster at Blackburn. It was all character building, and at the FIFA World Youth Championships in 1997, where Ireland finished third, Damien knew in his heart that he was going to make it.
