Episode notes

This week’s Football God is cricketer Mark Wood. He reveals who on his team is best at football, why Vinnie Jones is his boy and how he became a supporter of AFC Wimbledon. 

When he’s not bowling for England, Mark is also the co-host of cricket podcast Middle Please, Umpire and has an award-winning book The Wood Life: A Not So Helpful How-to Guide on Surviving Cricket, Life and Everything in Between. 

The Football Gods gives famous faces the ultimate footballing role: total power over the beautiful game. Listen as they shape football to their whim and ultimately become The Football Gods. Join our hosts - broadcaster Kate Mason and journalist Tim Spiers - as we ponder the all-important questions such as...“Which player would you send to hell?”, “What flavour pie would be considered the food of the Gods?” and “Which game would you watch forever?”

Given the power, how would you change football?
