New Episode every Thursday. Just search for Outside the Box wherever you get your podcasts. EPISODE 2 AVAILABLE NOW! In the first episode of a new fly-on-the wall series, Jermain Defoe travels back to the estate in East London where he grew up, exploring how his past experiences will affect his future as he begins a journey into the world of football management. From the house he grew up in and memories of his grandparents, to games of football in the street and a trip back to his old school, the former England star is keen to delve into his childhood and the people he shared those years with as he searches for a new career now that no-one’s singing his name. With management the focus, Defoe discusses the end of his playing days, his first coaching job within the Tottenham academy, and the dream of leading a team.

Proper Football With Glenn Hoddle

Kammy and Ben pick over England’s World Cup exit in the company of playing legend and former England manager Glenn Hoddle.

Glenn explains what he thinks would have happened if Harry Kane had scored that penalty against France, what England need to change to become winners and whether he thinks Gareth Southgate should stay on as manager.

They also discuss his own playing and managerial career: his biggest regret from his time managing England, which legendary boss he told to do one; why he kept Ruud Gullit away from Stamford Bridge when trying to sign him for Chelsea and the time he thought he was being kidnapped.

And after Ian Holloway revealed one of his teammates used to eat Vicks VaporRub before a game, Kammy and Ben want to know the weirdest pre-match routines you’ve seen or done. E-mail them at [email protected].
