Summary
Welcome to a special edition of 20 Minute Tims
On this episode we are joined by a genuine Celtic legend - Chris Sutton
Chris joins us in a wide-ranging chat about what he feels is wrong with modern football and how he aims to fix it.
We take in subjects such as;
*Diving
*Mercenary footballers
*Managerial Merry-go-rounds
*Boring interviews
And much more
Chris also tackles some heavier subjects, as he details his personal experiences with what he feels is the too often forgotten issue with football - dementia.

| 0:36.3 | So Chris, you've come out with a football book. It's called You're better than that, how it affects |
| 0:41.6 | modern football. Do you want to just |
| 0:44.0 | summarize for the listeners how the book came about and what it's about? Well as a |
| 0:50.3 | former footballer I suppose it it may be a surprise to many that footballers can actually |
| 0:56.4 | right and know it's something I've been doing a radio showdown south the big the big football phone in called 606 on a Saturday |

| 1:56.6 | and that's where the title of the book came from but it's I mean the book is a wide variety of subjects within the game and we all have a common interest. |
| 2:07.0 | We all absolutely love football, adore football. It's the best sport in the world but there are so many issues within the |
