Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Charlie Eccleshare are joined by the Totally Football Show supremo and acceptable face of golden-era Serie A, James Richardson.
James' selections for his fascinations and irritations of football include: the rivalry-defying joy of Fabio Quagliarella, Roma's rousing pre-match anthem at the Stadio Olimpico, commentators' innocuous but unacceptable turns of phrase, and his complex relationship with the beginning, middle and end of an international break.
