Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and David Walker are joined by the much-travelled striker Cillian Sheridan for the latest edition of Mesut Haaland Dicks.
Sheridan uses all his experience to share his love of retro football boots, the satisfaction of a good half-volley and why he gets so annoyed by football commentators.
Meanwhile, he decides if he really is a "beanpole journeyman" and why diving just really isn't that big a deal.
