The Football Faithful

We're into the last nine gameweeks of the Fantasy Premier League campaign, a critical point of the season where mini-leagues are won and lost. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry discuss some of the most essential players to have in your FPL team for the run-in and which teams have the most favourable fixtures. 

We once again stress how good Chelsea's defence has been under Thomas Tuchel, whether doubling up on West Ham defence is a good idea, the only Liverpool player worth considering, and wonder if Arsenal will let us down or not. 

There's also transfer tips, captaincy picks, the rescheduled fixtures including Spurs double gameweek, and a tribute to Sergio Aguero after it was announced the FPL legend would be leaving after a decade at Man City. 

The international break means a week off for Fantasy Premier League managers, but we're still hard at work delivering the podcast for you ahead of the all-important run-in. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful, Ste and Harry discussed the tough decisions that will have to made about premium assets such as Bruno Fernandes, Mo Salah and perhaps even Man City players. 

We also look at which Chelsea players to target with their great run of fixtures to come, why West Ham's Jesse Lingard could be a trap, whether Wolves' Pedro Neto is a good differential or not, and why Kelechi Iheanacho is our king. 

Send on any questions or suggestions for the next episode, where we will pick our must-have players for the final nine gameweeks of FPL. 

With so few teams playing in gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League, we look at how best to navigate the blank fixtures this weekend.

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry discuss who they think are the best players to transfer in for GW29, with particular focus on Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham.

We also look back at our regrets from GW28, wonder what the hell has happened with Mo Salah at Liverpool, offer our FPL transfer tips and make our captaincy picks.

Following a mixed bag of a gameweek in Fantasy Premier League, we take stock of the big hitters and premium assets across the best teams in the game. 

On the latest episode of the Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry take an in-depth look at the most talked-about sides in FPL right now, with particular focus on Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Spurs and West Ham. 

We question the necessity of owning either Mo Salah or Bruno Fernandes, two highly expensive players whose form has dipped considerably recently. We also debate which of Bale, Kane or Son are the most important to transfer in, which Chelsea defenders are the best bets, and why Aaron Cresswell is pretty much essential at this stage. 

We also reflect on our regrets from GW27, and give our essential FPL tips on transfers and captaincy picks for GW28. 

Former Sunderland and England player Michael Gray joined us on The Football Faithful podcast to discuss the North East outfit's new owner, 23-year-old Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and why he thinks the French businessman has "the club at heart".

Ste and Harry also asked Michael about his fascinating career, during which he spent 12 years at his hometown club. At Sunderland, Gray won the first division with a record points total, suffered playoff heartache when he missed the decisive penalty in the most famous playoff final ever, and got called up for international duty while still a second tier player.

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry talk about their regrets about DGW26 so far, even though it's gone pretty well for them with several games still to go!

The lads look back at their predictions for which players they thought would be essential for the month of February. Some did really well, others were disappointing, while one in particular was absolutely abysmal.

We also offer our tips and advice on the best captaincy picks for GW27 as well as our transfer targets in FPL, including some differential replacements for Harvey Barnes.

We've got Fantasy Premier League royalty on hand this week, as the 9th ranked manager in the world joined us on the line. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste interviews Kevin Rose, who is enjoying the fantasy season of his life as he sits inside the top ten. He spoke to us about his incredible form in recent weeks, the secrets behind his success, what players he is looking to bring in on his Free Hit for GW26, and his strategy for the double and blank gameweeks. 

Ste and Harry also chatted about the Premier League's decision to withhold the fixture announcement until after the GW25 deadline, clubs potentially banning their players from partaking in FPL, and our tips for captaincy and transfers ahead of DGW26. 

Fantasy Premier League has a massive double gameweek on the horizon, so it's vital to make a plan ahead of gameweek 25.

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry get their strategic heads in gear to navigate the tricky waters of of a hectic Premier League schedule. We look at the best ways to tackle DGW26, how to get as many players with two games that week as possible, and what chips are most useful to do so while looking ahead to the blanks in GW29. 

We consider each FPL chip - wildcard, bench boost, triple captain and free hit - to see which ones are most suitable depending on your team's needs, look at what to do if you have already used some of your chips, and pray for you if you don't have any left. 

With Leeds Utd and Southampton playing twice in GW25, we pore over the best options from the two teams and show a lot of love for the cheap but phenomenal Raphinha. We also give our tips for potential transfers and captaincy picks in GW25. 

With the fixture schedule about to get extremely hectic in the coming weeks, the opportunities to get ahead in Fantasy Premier League grow. 

With another double gameweek this weekend, Ste and Harry on the four teams with two matches in GW24 on The Fantasy Faithful podcast.

We looked at which FPL players are on form, what their underlying stats are telling us, and which ones have the best set of fixtures ahead of Saturday's deadline. 

We also get some major regrets off our chests, including ignoring Leeds and James Justin for too long, as well as revealing our captaincy and transfer picks for the weekend. 

Fantasy Premier League has returned to being an unpredictable beast, so naturally we try to pick who's going to bang in February well ahead of time. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry each pick five players they think are going to impress over the next five gameweeks this month. We look at recent form, the underlying statistics, and which Premier League teams have the kindest fixtures to help us make our choices. 

We also wonder if there's a Fantasy Faithful curse, lament falling into the Everton trap, and give our FPL tips for the weeks ahead. 

Fantasy Premier League brought incredible highs and devastating lows in Double Gameweek 19.

On the latest episode of the Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry assess what they got right in the past two gameweeks since we last spoke, whether it was a good idea to activate chips, and why Ugandan FPL players were left to rue GW20. 

We laud Sir John Stones after his massive haul, send some love Manchester United's way, look at what makes Leicester City assets attractive, and pick out the bad teams that should be targeted in the coming weeks. We also provide our picks for GW20, including captaincy, transfers and a differential. 

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is legendary Italian striker Fabrizio Ravanelli!

Poetically known as the White Feather, Ravanelli joined Middlesbrough in 1996 in a sensational transfer that sent shockwaves through English football. After all this was one of the finest strikers in Serie A who had just scored in Juventus' Champions League final victory that same year, and now he was moving to the freezing North East for a whopping £7 million. 

How did his time at the Riverside go? In the latest episode of the 90's Football Hall of Fame podcast, Ste and Peter were once again joined by football writer Ste Tudor to discuss his goal-laden spell in the Premier League, that iconic celebration, and one of the craziest seasons ever experienced by a club in 1996/97. 

We also delve into Ravanelli's notorious temperament, his infamous fight with teammate Neil Cox, and why he cursed every British football club he joined. 

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Newcastle United cult hero Temur Ketsbaia. 

Known for his infamous meltdown when he repeatedly kicked the advertising hoardings, the 'Mad Monk' spent three years at St. James' Park in which he only scored eight goals, but left long lasting memories.

Ste and Peter were joined by football writer Stephen Tudor on the podcast to discuss the time he threw a mobile phone at Bobby Robson, his paintballing antics, and his knack of scoring sensational goals. 

Can you feel it? It's finally upon us: the highly anticipated double gameweek 19 in Fantasy Premier League.

It's a massively important week in FPL, so on the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry pore over the fixture list and pick out the absolute must-have players for GW19.

The two lads discuss Manchester City's newfound attacking threat and why Kevin De Bruyne might be the most essential player to own right now, the stirring form of Manchester United and their forward options, and drool over the best picks for West Ham United's excellent set of fixtures.

We also give our tips for using chips and making transfers in GW19, pick which players with just one game are still worth owning, put Chelsea in the dustbin, and finally admit we were wrong about Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford.

After months of anticipation and planning, the blank and double gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League are almost here. 

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste is joined by Surya, co-owner of the "9th best fantasy football website in the world", to discuss the blank week in GW18 and the double in GW19 to see what the best options are. 

We discuss what chips to use and the best way to use them, as well which players and teams to target for DGW19. We also talk about the chaotic nature of this year's fixture list due to Covid-19, why Leeds United are our favourite team in FPL right now, and the DGW team to avoid (even though they've performed well lately). 

A pair of masterclass performances from Mo Salah and Bruno Fernandes made it a fruitful gameweek 14 for Fantasy Premier League managers.

On the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry extol Liverpool following their thrashing of Crystal Palace and wonder if Roberto Firmino has emerged as an attractive differential, while we salivate over the possibility of Manchester United's assets returning to red hot form. 

We also discuss our frustrations with Chelsea and Aston Villa strikers, Spurs' underlying numbers catching up with them after Son Heung-min and Harry Kane both blanked, and come up with some replacements for the injured Ben Chilwell and Reece James. 

We also give our picks for best captaincy and transfers in gameweek 15 of FPL. 

Fantasy Premier League took another swerve in GW12 when none of the Big Six won on the same weekend for the first time in 12 years. 

On the latest episode of the The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste and Harry discussed whether Chelsea are the real deal or not, debated which of Ben Chilwell or Reece James is the better option to own, and wondered whether Liverpool's performance against Fulham was just a once-off or something more than that. 

We couldn't help but bring up the dynamic duo yet again, asking whether it's possible to get away with owning one of Harry Kane or Son Heung-min, before looking at the numbers behind Arsenal's atrocious campaign. And after a dour, boring Manchester Derby, we worry about the potential for every big game in the Premier League this season going the same way - are the bigger teams too afraid to lose to each other?

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is former Norwich City and Tottenham winger Ruel Fox. 

Fox was a traditional English winger who bombed down the flank with the ball at feet and swung in crosses for the target man in the box, but he also had a knack for scoring sensational goals from outside the box. 

A key cog of that brilliant Norwich team that almost won the inaugural Premier League title, Fox is most closely associated with the Canaries for some incredible moments he experienced while at the club, which included once scoring a winning goal against Liverpool at Anfield and beating Bayern Munich in the Uefa Cup. 

On the 90's Football Hall of Fame podcast, Ste and Peter were joined by footballer writer Ste Tudor to discuss Fox's qualities as a footballer, being an early member of Kevin Keegan's 'Entertainers' at Newcastle United, and why he joined Spurs at the wrong time. 

We also chat about the early 90's Merlin sticker controversy involving Fox, his international career with the world's worst team Montserrat, and the fact that he cannot be mentioned without uttering his full name. 

Our two hosts were left feeling flat after suffering red arrows despite having a 'good' week in Fantasy Premier League. 

On the latest episode of the The Fantasy Faithful podcast, we debated whether it's at all possible to get away without having Mo Salah in your team this weekend, bemoaned Timo Werner's inaccuracy (again), showed some love for yet another Olivier Giroud Renaissance at Chelsea, and lamented Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's sharp decline.

We also give our gameweek 12 picks for captaincy, transfers, differentials, and Lock of the Week in FPL.

A low-scoring gameweek 10 meant frustration for Fantasy Premier League managers across the board, and there might be more pain on the way due to recent events. 

On the latest episode of the The Fantasy Faithful podcast, we look at what to do with Aston Villa and Newcastle United players now that their match is postponed this weekend - is it worth taking a hit to get those players out?

We debate whether it's worth getting Manchester City assets yet following their 5-0 win over Burnley, question Southampton's 'solidity', look at Bruno Fernandes' supremacy in away games, and decide that Fulham are better than Arsenal and City. 

We also give our gameweek 11 picks for captaincy, transfers, differentials, One Week Punt and Lock of the Week. 

There were mixed emotions on the show this week as the two lads experienced wildly differing fortunes with their fantasy teams.

The international break can finally be put behind us and we can look forward to Fantasy Premier League once again with Gameweek 9 on the horizon. 

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste was joined by Dara and Harry to survey the wreckage of a disastrous international window which has turned up so many injuries and coronavirus positives over the last week. 

We look at who impressed us while on international duty, what we should do with Liverpool's Mo Salah now that he has Covid-19, and debate whether we should keep or sell Harry Kane and Son Heung-min ahead of a trick run of fixtures. 

We also discuss Harry's wildcard, and give our captain's picks, differentials, and guaranteed Lock of the Week for Gameweek 9 of FPL.

The latest inductee into the prestigious and totally legitimate 90's Football Hall of Fame is Leicester City legend Muzzy Izzet.

Possessing one of the all-time great footballer names in Premier League history, Izzet was a key member of that romantic Leicester team of the nineties that won two League Cups and punched well above their weight in the top-flight. 

Long before the Foxes won the Premier League title, this was a true golden age for the East Midlands outfit and Izzet was their star midfielder. The London-born Turkish international was a hard-working number 10 with a penchant for wonder goals. As Stephen Tudor remarks on the podcast, Izzet was "a fucking brilliant footballer", but he was also "a right little bastard".

On the 90's Football Hall of Fame podcast, Ste McGovern is joined by Peter Henry and the other Ste to chat about why we loved watching Izzet so much, his finest goals for Leicester, and why he never moved to a bigger club.

We also discuss his unusual initiation with the Turkish national team, the most stylish managers in the Premier League, and reminisce on managers who used to smoke in the dugout. 

The Premier League is away for a week to make room for an international break no one asked for, but we are still here to talk everything fantasy football. 

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste was joined by regular guest Dara Curran and debutant Srini to take a broad look at FPL. We debate over which teams are genuinely good and bad, and discuss the players that have particularly impressed us. 

We also try to figure out what is going on with the underwhelming Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, why Bruno Fernandes is the only Manchester United option to consider, and look at which teams have the best fixtures leading up to Christmas. 

Mixed fortunes for the respective Fantasy Premier League teams of our two hosts this past week, but one thing is almost always guaranteed: Ste's captain doing absolutely nothing. 

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste was joined by Harry to discuss the best forwards to replace the injured Danny Ings, Arsenal's surprisingly solid defence, and why Manchester United continue to confound and confuse us.  

We also give our captain's picks, potential transfers, differentials going under the radar, the statistics that caught our eye, and our guaranteed Lock of the Week for Gameweek 8 of FPL. 

After a frustrating week in which very few of the big hitters got any points, The Fantasy Faithful is back to pick over the bones of the previous week's action and look ahead to the next one.

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Ste was joined by Harry to discuss the best budget midfielders in FPL right now, why Trent Alexander-Arnold is on thin ice, and the attractiveness of West Ham United, whose players are looking more viable by the week. 

We also give our captain's picks, potential transfers, differentials going under the radar, the statistics that caught our eye, and our guaranteed Lock of the Week. 

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Crystal Palace cult hero Attilio Lombardo. 

The Italian was one of a number of exotic big name signings that middling and lower Premier League teams managed to attract to English football with the promise of money, but his arrival still confounds to this day. 

Lombardo was a serial winner with Sampdoria and Juventus before arriving in south London in 1997, having won multiple league titles, the Champions League and played in seven European finals. A player clearly still with much to offer at 31 years of age, he wowed the Selhurst Park faithful with his majestic skill and effortless style for a bizarre 18 month spell with the Eagles. 

There is just no slowing down the Premier League this season, as the goals and mad results continue to flow, but have we gotten a better handle on our fantasy teams?

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Surya joined Dara and Ste to make his debut on the show and discuss a high-scoring Gameweek 5, the amazing stat that shows why Bruno Fernandes is essential in FPL, and why we're so in love with Brighton. 

We also chat about the players who caught our eye, the statistics turning our heads, the differentials going under the radar, and debate whether Harry Kane or Mo Salah is the best captaincy option in Gameweek 6.

The international break has concluded, which means we can get back to what really matters: Fantasy Premier League. 

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, presenter Ste McGovern was joined by Mark Farrelly of Balls.ie to talk about captain's picks, differentials, and potential transfers for gameweek 5. 

We also discussed how FPL has seeped into football coverage, why fantasy football can feel all-consuming at times, and pore over Mark's biggest regrets in the 2020/21. 

Ex-Chelsea midfielder and notorious scrapper Dennis Wise is the latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame. 

The pint-sized Englishman spent the entirety of the decade at Stamford Bridge, where he won multiple honours including the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup, making him the club's second most successful captain behind John Terry.

The Kensington native, who was also a member of the infamous 'Crazy Gang' at Wimbledon in the late eighties, had a reputation for being a shithouse as well, however, for his willingness to lunge into tackles and get involved in fights.  

We are a month into the 2020/21 Fantasy Premier League campaign and we're left with more questions than answers.

Which teams are actually good? Why have Chelsea, Man City and Man United been so disappointing so far? How in God's name did Liverpool lose 7-2 to Aston Villa? Does any of it even matter anymore?

To try and answer some of these conundrums and more during the international break, we drafted in a very special guest in the form of FPL expert Andrew Ferguson, writer and podcast presenter over at Fantasy Football Hub. 

Giving a broad overview of the first four matchdays of the Premier League, we looked at the madness of gameweek four, tried to make sense of the season up to now, and admitted our biggest regrets and mistakes. We also chatted about the things we were most wrong about in preseason, the deadline day transfers that might affect FPL, and how we can possibly strategize for the future in this weird world of fantasy football. 

In a week where very few Fantasy Premier League managers did well, Ste and Dara lick their wounds after a fairly disastrous wildcard and discuss what went wrong.

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, Harry re-joined us after his call-up to the senior squad last week to look back on a weird Gameweek 3, consider what impact the handball rule will have on FPL, and if it's a good idea to load up on penalty takers.  

The latest entrant in to the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Duncan Ferguson, the former Everton striker who was infamous for his physicality and penchant for violence on the pitch.

An FA Cup winner in 1995, the Scot got into many scrapes and fights in the years, and is one of very few footballers to have been jailed for an incident on the field. But he was a quality footballer too who was as lethal in the air as he was with his fists, and scored a few crackers with his feet as well. 

After another week of pain and mediocrity for Stephen and Dara, the two lads have decided its high time they smashed that wildcard button and reinvigorated their Fantasy Premier League teams with wholesale surgery.  

In the latest episode of The Fantasy Faithful podcast, we look back on a crazy gameweek 2 in FPL that featured a record 44 goals, the decisions we regretted the most, and contemplate who are the essential picks in our wildcard teams. 

We also discuss the dilemma surrounding Manchester United assets following their defeat to Crystal Palace, why we still don't trust Jose Mourinho's Spurs, the differentials going under the radar, and who are the best captaincy options in gameweek 3. 

Was the first Fantasy Premier League gameweek of the season a bust for you? Did you foolishly not captain Mo Salah? Tempted to hit that wildcard button already?

Well The Fantasy Faithful lads are here to guide you through the myriad dilemmas and choices facing FPL managers ahead of gameweek 2. We agonise over our mistakes, pick apart the early bandwagons, and make our choices for transfers and captaincy. 

Host: Ste McGovern

Guests: Dara Curran (Fulhamish, Planet FPL), Harry Diamond (The Football Faithful)

With the Premier League returning this week The Fantasy Faithful presents our big preview of gameweek 1 for FPL managers. 

In the second of our two-part interview with Fantasy Premier League expert Abubakar Siddiq, The Fantasy Faithful takes a close look at how make the most of transfers and captaincy picks. 

We discuss the best time to make your transfer during a gameweek, whether it's a good idea to take hits, how to keep track of price changes, and why looking to the long-term is the best strategy for picking players. 

Bakar also talks us through his strategy for picking a captain every week, arguably the most important aspect of FPL, and how analytics help him with his weekly pick. 

The Football Faithful is proud to present the latest addition to our podcast stable ahead of the 2020/21 season: The Fantasy Faithful!

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Arsenal and England legend Tony Adams.

One of the greatest centre-backs of his era, Adams enjoyed a glittering 19-year career with the Gunners, winning multiple major honours, but he also dealt with personal demons, battling alcoholism for over a decade. 

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Aston Villa and Middlesbrough legend Ugo Ehiogu. 

Everton and Wales legend Neville Southall is the latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame.  

Southall enjoyed a successful 17-year spell with the Toffees, winning two league titles, two FA Cups and the European Cup Winners’ Cup, becoming a club hero in the process thanks to his world-class performances during the eighties.

The Welshman is the last goalkeeper to win the FWA Player of the Year award and for a period during the mid-eighties he was considered the very best in the world in his position. Although the nineties were not as successful, he was still a key player for the Merseyside outfit, particularly when they won the FA Cup in 1995.

Since retiring Southall has been making as big an impact off the field as much as he did on it, becoming a popular figure online for his tweets about Tory skeletons, being an LGBTQ+ ally and a passionate mental health advocate.

Former Celtic striker and Manchester United cult hero Brian McClair is the latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame.

Nicknamed "Choccy" by his teammates because his surname is reminiscent of a chocolate eclair, the Scot enjoyed a trophy-laden decade at Old Trafford where he scored 127 goals and provided 49 assists.

McClair joined United after shining for Celtic, where he scored a phenomenal 126 goals in 204 appearances, before going on to win nine major trophies, including four Premier Leagues and the European Cup Winners' Cup.

On the latest episode of the 90's Football Hall of Fame show, we were joined by football writer David Sneyd to discuss Brian McClair's prolific scoring record, his dry sense of humour, and the famous Choccy's Diaries in which he often made stuff up about his teammates.

We also chat about his seamless evolution from star forward to shadow striker to midfielder, why he had an underwhelming international career, and the "rave going on in his head".

Former Newcastle United, Man United and England striker Andy Cole is the latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame.

The striker quickly became a star at Newcastle, scoring 34 goals in his first top flight campaign. So good were his performances that he attracted the interest of a certain Alex Ferguson, who paid £6m for his services in a shock transfer midway through the 1994/95 season.

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is Liverpool legend and former England striker Robbie Fowler.

Known fondly as "God" among the Anfield faithful, the Toxteth lad burst onto the scene as an 18-year-old, scoring on his debut against Fulham in the League Cup in 1993 before scoring five against them in the second leg.

Fowler clearly started as he meant to go on, scoring 12 goals in his first 13 games for the club and quickly garnered a reputation as one of the league's most natural finishers.

The striker would go on to score 183 times for Liverpool, becoming a beloved figure on the Kop as his goals led the team to glory in the Uefa Cup, FA Cup and twice in the League Cup.

On the latest episode of the 90's Football Hall of Fame podcast, we discuss some of Fowler's most spectacular finishes, his controversial sniffing the line celebration against Everton, and what made him so exciting to watch.

We also chat about his underwhelming England career, his surprise move to Leeds United in 2001, and why his career petered out after such an incredible start.

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is former Arsenal and Netherlands winger Marc Overmars.

The Dutch speedster grew up in modest surroundings, helping his grandad pick potatoes on his farm, but went on to become one of the country's most talented and exciting players of his generation.

Overmars' career began at Ajax, where he won multiple Eredivisie titles and was part of the famous 1995 Champions League-winning team that shocked Europe.

After recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, he joined Arsenal in 1997, where he played a huge role in the Gunners winning the double. His memorable goal against Manchester United essentially turned the tide in the Premier League title race, while he opened the scoring in the FA Cup final against Newcastle United.

In the latest episode of 90's Football Hall of Fame podcast, we discuss his amazing velocity, his terrific scoring record for a wide player, and why it was the right time to sell him to Barcelona in 2000.

We also discuss some memorable moments from his international career, the time he got cut in half by Roy Keane, and pay tribute to the late, great Jack Charlton.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and England wide man Darren Anderton is the latest inductee into the 90’s Football Hall of Fame.

The latest inductee into the 90's Football Hall of Fame is former Chelsea and France libero Frank Leboeuf.

Leboeuf was a key member of the exciting and cosmopolitan Blues team that enjoyed great success in the mid to late nineties, winning the League Cup, two FA Cups and the Uefa Cup Winners' Cup during his five year stint in west London.

The centre-back also won the World Cup, European Championship and Confederations Cup with his national team during a golden era for the French team, putting in a fine performance against Brazil in the final in 1998 where he kept Ronaldo quiet.

In the latest episode of the 90's Football Hall of Fame podcast, we discuss the former Chelsea defender's career, his rise at Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg, and why he was so different to the typical English centre-back of the time.

We also discuss his penchant for set piece magic, his post-football career in acting, and why his appearance on A Question Of Sport rubbed people up the wrong way.
