Our guest is the journalist Jon Driscoll, author of The Fifty: Football’s Most Influential Players. We look back at players who have changed the game, all the way from Charles W. Alcock in the 1860s-80s, up to Megan Rapinoe in the present day.
We major on Billy Meredith, arguably football’s first superstar, along with Argentinian Jorge Brown, Uruguayan Olympic and World Cup-winner José Andrade, Brazilian Garrincha, and more.
