The Football Gods
By Voiceworks Sport
Their names are part of football folklore. They are often turned to in times of need. They can be a fan’s last resort... but who are “The Football Gods”?
This podcast 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?
