This week on the pod we’re joined by the legend Dean Saunders.

Now best known for his TalkSPORT appearances, but many moons ago he was managing “two strikers who could do things Haaland couldn’t” our very own Chris Brown and Jon Parkin… and he didn’t have a bad playing career either.

Dean’s training sessions have gone down in Under The Cosh folklore, especially for the prizes handed out, including a racehorse for Friday’s man of the match. Today, we finally hear straight from the horse’s mouth (Saunders, not Constitution Hill 🐎) about the science behind it all and how he even used a local reporter to motivate his players.

Looking back on his playing career, Saunders once set the British transfer record — which some might say would make him a £100m+ player in today’s market… our research says closer to £36 million. While starring for the likes of Aston Villa and Liverpool, he became prolific using a foolproof technique that guaranteed 18+ goals a season without relying too much on his own ability.

We also hear stories involving Ron Atkinson’s genius man-management, El Hadji Diouf playing an integral role in presidential elections, Jamie O’Hara causing him to get sacked, Graeme Souness starting a riot, and Pascal Chimbonda’s unforgettable wink.
