The FourFourTwo Podcast

FFT editor in chief James Brown is joined by features writer Chris Flanagan and former Sheffield United, QPR and Crystal Palace midfielder Shaun Derry.

Shaun shares tales of what the summer months mean if you’re a footballer, the job insecurity that comes with this time of year and the players who over indulge ahead of pre-season training.

He also tells us what the coaching courses don’t prepare you for when you become a manager and pays tribute to former team-mate and close friend Justin Edinburgh.

FFT Editor In Chief James Brown is joined by writers James Maw, Hunter Godson and Tony Evans as they relive their trip to Madrid for the Champions League Final in a camper van. If the final was short on incident then the journey itself certainly wasn’t.  

Tony reveals what Graeme Souness told him what they did with winners medals in his day and what the reaction in the Liverpool ranks was when Harry Kane was included in the Spurs side.

They also preview the Women’s World Cup, examine where England went wrong in the Nations League and discuss Andy Mitten’s interview with Diego Maradona from the latest edition in which Diego revealed that he wanted to manage Manchester United.

FFT editor in chief James Brown is joined by contributor Barney Hoskyns and features writer Chris Flanagan.

They dissect the magazine’s list of the best 101 players from the past twenty five years and look at some of the reader’s suggestions for the worst.

Both Barney and Chris pick their favourites from list as well as discussing who missed out.

Chelsea fan Barney reflects upon their victory in Europe and Chris questions whether it has actually been a successful season for the blues.

In other European matters we look ahead to the Champions League Final and James wonders how David Batty would be viewed if he were Italian?
