Welcome to Football's Greatest with Jeff Stelling, a new weekly podcast where the legendary host sits down with a soccer icon to discuss those who have made a difference in the beautiful game.
This week's guest is Brighton midfielder James Milner: three-times Premier League winner, a Champions League winner and holder of 61 England caps. He's worked with some of the best managers in the business and in this episode he gives us insights into how they led, motivated and coached players.
Why would Jurgen Klopp lose his rag at the start of his reign at Anfield? Who once made his players continue training even with a tornado incoming? And how did he feel when his own manager said, "You'll never win anything with a team of James Milners"?
James also reveals what drew him to Brighton, what it's like playing under Roberto De Zerbi and what he'd do about VAR.
Football's Greatest is a Folding Pocket production with BBC Studios.
