0:00.0 | Welcome to the Sky Sports Football podcast brought to you by Bet365, where every now biting nil-nil, every bizarre VAR, every foregone conclusion, bad pass, slam dunk, tap-in, full start, dead heat, and absolutely expected defeat is amazing. |
0:17.3 | From football to tennis and ice hockey to motorsport. Whatever the moment, it's never |

0:29.2 | Jan Franco Zola, mercurial talent, absolute gentleman of the field. I have to say that Jan |
