Summary
Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by ARNE.
In this episode, Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney, Jill Scott, Roy Keane and Ian Wright take on some of your unpopular opinions on the game today.
First, the team is joined by former Manchester United goalkeeper Raimond van der Gouw, who reflects on his time at the club as a backup keeper and his later role working alongside Roy Keane on the coaching staff at Sunderland.
The focus then shifts to your unpopular opinions, and it doesn’t take long for the debate to split the table. From whether Bruno Fernandes makes an all-time Manchester United XI, to the question of whether Neymar would have been the Premier League’s greatest ever player in his prime, the panel do not hold back.
As always, strong opinions are shared and challenged.
