What would Graeme Souness cost today? Henry Winter reckons £250 million. And he's just sat down with him.
On episode 9 of Football & Futebol, Tim Vickery and Henry Winter go from Liverpool's great midfield general to the Brazilian conveyor belt keeping Shakhtar Donetsk alive, now playing Champions League football at Stamford Bridge.
Henry explains why Souness is respected but not revered, whether he could handle today's players, and the Newcastle tea lady who turned Jackie Milburn's picture to the wall. Tim explains why young Brazilians keep heading to Ukraine, why Flamengo, Palmeiras and Fluminense are fielding some of the oldest teams in football, and why Brazil's new foreign-player cap won't fix it.
Then it's Neymar. Tim was at the Maracanã for a ten-minute cameo in 2009 that showed what was coming, and he gives a blunt verdict on the World Cup penalty that became his last act for Brazil. Plus Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal walkout, what makes a true idol, Glenn Hoddle, Sir Bobby Robson, Diego Gómez's halfway-line screamer and the England v Poland night in 1973 where it all began for Tim.
