This is The World Class Stamp Football Podcast, a weekly podcast where the FAN HOSTS sit down with legends of the sport, panel style, to talk about those who made a difference in the beautiful game from a players' perspective: the top keepers, the toughest defenders, the most skillful midfielders and the goal machines up front and bring it all together with the football icons best ever ONE to ELEVEN and MANAGER. The panel will challenge the legend on who, IF ANY, gets the WORLD CLASS STAMP?

The show will also look at those who had great influence off the pitch too - the successful managers, the funniest team-mates, and the most impressive leaders in the dressing room - and pay homage to the BEST MOMENTS from the biggest competitions like the PREMIER LEAGUE, FOOTBALL LEAGUE, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS and the WORLD CUP.

Broken down into two or three (depends how much fun we are having during the interview) episodes with each guest, The World Class Stamp Football Podcast will take you inside the minds, the dressing room and to the sidelines of the training ground of some of the best football teams and players the beautiful game has ever seen. You will hear stories that surprise you, inspire you, motivate you and best of all, make you laugh out loud and share it with your mates.
