Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Chris Waddle from season one.

In part one, Chris – England's Zidane, in my opinion – breaks down what made him one of the great entertainers of his generation: his body swerve, his step-over, his decisions as to when to 'go for' an opponent. You hardly EVER hear a top-level athlete get to the bottom of their talent like this. Also starring the incredible Paul Gascoigne and others.

This turned out to be one of the most intriguing, honest football conversations I’d had for a long time. Part one features Johan Cruyff, Danny McGrain, Ron Atkinson and many more.
