Summary

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with John Collins from season two.

During his time in France, John underwent a technical and tactical revolution, but his marginal gains approach to self-improvement started in his teens. How else could a skinny kid from Galashiels get the chance to line up alongside George Best in only his second professional game?

Also in part two: Petit, Zidane, rugby, more on sweeper keepers and what that cheeky wink to the camera meant before Scotland played Brazil in the opening game of the 1998 World Cup in Paris.
