Who Are The World Cup’s Heroes & Villains?

Bad fouls, iconic dances and loveable coaches. What makes someone a hero or a villain in the greatest competition in world football? Well, Mark and Marcus are here to tell you their favourite players and managers who are liked and disliked for a variety of different reasons.

In this episode, the pair look at Toni Schumacher's infamous challenge in 1982, Jack Charlton's reign as manager of Ireland, the disgraceful refereeing display of Rudolf Kreitlein in 1966 and Roger Milla's undeniable reappearance across the decades to help Cameroon (including one special celebration).
