Summary
My full interview is here with Geoff as we flipped the Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet. We chat around why I started this channel, and getting into punditry at Sky Sports.
I reflect on 1999 in Barcelona, life after football, and how I collapsed during the 2021 EUROs. Plus I open up on my dad and my grandad.

| 1:15.8 | every day I woke up I just wanted to die but in this overlap special I become the |
| 1:20.6 | guest so why have you chosen this location for the overlap? I've got to say, it's a beautiful |
| 1:29.0 | day for it. So I live, well you'll see in a minute, about half an hour away in central |
| 1:33.6 | Manchester and hotel football's back there and after a Solford game, if we've lost, this |
