Episode 2222: Scrooge Football 2021
It’s the Monday after Christmas and while most people are resting up, footballers are playing their hearts out and Ken is a podcastin’.
He welcomes Jonathan Wilson to their annual Scrooge Football chat which includes the Leicester Man City thriller, why Grealish’s move to City hasn’t worked and rational Germans offering practical solutions to English football’s problems.
Plus there’s Doctor Zhivago, the unfairness of Covid and Jonathan’s new book about Eduard Streltsov, the Soviet football star who was arrested on the eve of the 1958 World Cup.
A brilliant football, a controversial arrest… a very red cover.
