Episode notes

Kyle tells Chris about the managers who have played a huge part in his football journey.

• Which England boss kept the team behind for 30 minutes to give them a bollocking? • Who cried in front of the Tottenham players when he was sacked? • Which manager made his players drive 2 hours into training only to send them home after 30 minutes so he could get home?
