This week I had the pleasure of speaking with one of football's greatest storytellers; Tim Vickery. 'Legendinho' was on top from in this wide ranging chat. From investigating the local domestic game to examining the wider cultural implications of the modern game we digressed. We left no stone unturned and I suspect there are few other football shows this week where Hemel Hempstead, Rio and John Coltrain all get a shoutout. I am sure you will enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording it. Furthermore we touched upon;

- The wide impact of football on Tim's youth.

- Exploring the sights and sounds of Brazilian football in the 90's.

- Why Brazil 'is not for beginners'?

- Is watching a game as a broadcaster a desensitizing experience compared to a fan?

- Has modern day football left Brazil behind?

- The myth of 'Samba Soccer'?

- Is football entertainment or sport?
