New series. Eight years deep. Same nonsense. We’re kicking things off with a belter… Pascal Chimbonda and trust us, he delivers. Perhaps the most laid-back man in the world, but my word he’s got some stories. Rocking up at Wigan without speaking a word of English, his time there was eventful on and off the pitch. A brilliant debut season saw him earn a shock call-up to France’s World Cup squad but it all ended in dramatic fashion when he handed in a transfer request in the dressing room straight after the final game of the season. With front-row seats for Zidane’s infamous headbutt, we find out exactly what Wigan’s Pascal Chimbonda says to French legend Zizou after he’s potentially cost him a World Cup winners’ medal. Dubbed Roy Keane’s “worst ever signing”, we dig into what really went wrong between them and along the way hear plenty of stories about being pinned up by Big Dunc, Jimmy Bullard’s antics, and sharing a dressing room with Browny at Doncaster.
