Sven-Göran Eriksson.

The name alone transports you to an era of WAGs, fake sheikhs, and a national fixation with Wayne Rooney's metatarsal.

And today we’re celebrating the man himself.

From a fling with Ulrika to being held at gunpoint in North Korea, this is the story of England’s unlikely national treasure…

They call him the greatest footballer who never played: Carlos Henrique Raposo, aka Kaiser.

The Brazilian had a glittering career in the 1980s... without ever kicking a ball.

From orgies with Berlusconi to gun-wielding gangsters, meet football's finest conman…

**With returning guest Josh Berry.**

Not many athletes can win sport’s biggest prizes while in the grips of a crystal meth addiction or weighed down by a comedy wig.

But Andre Agassi isn’t most athletes.

The American hothead hated tennis, munched amphetamines aged 10 and terrorized the cast of Friends.

And he still won 8 grand slams.

This is his story…

You probably remember Thomas Gravesen as a wild-eyed Dane who swapped Goodison for the Galacticos.

But off the pitch, he was absolutely insane. 

The Danish midfielder dated pornstars, brought dynamite to training and once spunked $54 million in one night.

Meet Real Madrid's most unlikely Galactico…

Ronaldo put the naughty in noughties. 

The gap-toothed genius lived on a diet of booze, burgers and Brazilian booty, and still found time to win two Ballon d'Ors.

From half time fags to flogging porn to Pato, this is the story of O Fenômeno...
