Show Notes
We're back after our Christmas/New Year break to be joined by podcast royalty in the form of The Guardian Football Weekly and Talksport host Max Rushden. Cambridge fan Max discusses gloryhunting their recent FA Cup giantkilling and watching them during the John Beck years before moving on to the trials and tribulations of fronting Soccer AM; the vagaries of 'Culverhouse'; volcano boarding in Nicaragua; and punting in his home town. Choccy chips in with his tale of Gary Pallister and the two Renault Clios, as well as deconstructing his most famous assists for David Beckham and Eric Cantona.
Music by Liam McClair and Crowander
