A pleasure to be involved in a podcast that I’ve enjoyed for a while, talking about one of my favourite, baldest players. Make sure to go and give it a listen!
Sven-Göran Eriksson. Zany. Mysterious. Offbeat. Genius? We explore the fascinating career of Sven through eleven nostalgic players he managed. With help from the brilliant Danny of @TheGafferMag_. More on him to come 👏 🎧: tinyurl.com/z7vjtrkc 🍎: tinyurl.com/bp8jw4e7

Carles Puyol. What a man
Replying to @ElevenPod
Massive thank you to @knockemdownes for reminding us of Carles Puyol's extreme hairiness. ⬆️ A wonderful player; a voluminous barnet. Go check out Ezekiel's page - a wonderful source of kit content and football chat. 👊

Fredy Guarin was close purely cause of the throwback from his times at Porto, but I think it has to go to Matic as the only foreigner to give an interview in Chinese

Didn’t really know much about him until I listened to the @ElevenPod segment about him the other day. Very sad story.

It’s Grettar Steinsson’s birthday today. Now Performance Director at Spurs, he was once an ever-dependable right back under Big Sam, and, in the 2009/10 season, led Premier League right backs that played 20+ games in crosses blocked per game*. Stat courtesy of @ElevenPod

Cool little section on Matt Derbyshire in the below pod, worth a listen. Had arguably his career highlights after leaving the UK in Greece "The English Killer!" #bcafc
