Dougie, Sam.

From Champion American Racehorse Sea Biscuit to the Mighty Ducks to Rocky Balboa,

everyone loves a good comeback story.

So let's bask in the good times and pick out some of the best that football has offered in the last year or so.

What's the biggest comeback?

Marcus Strastrow, what a loan signing he has been for Barcelona?

When someone comes back to a place and he has a point to prove.

It's usually very difficult to find a player in a January transfer market that could improve your team.

He fits exactly what this team was missing.

You just feel the threat.

Wendier, when he came on, he gets his goal, but I wouldn't get too excited by me, Wendier at all. Wendier against Ortega, a score. I'm delighted for Mayno, the fact that he's managed to get back in the team. Cobby Maynui, to be fair, I do think, is the comeback of the team. I think he can go to the next level. Yes, hello everybody and welcome to another episode of The Truth. I am your host, Sam Tai, Sat. Once again, in the official host's chair. Just two feet from me is Doogie Gritchley. Very same table, finally. Hello. Yeah, we're back. We're back with a bang. For those that have been listening, you probably haven't noticed, but we've been recording remotely for the last few weeks. So it is great to be back. We've complained about it quite a lot. Well, yeah, yeah. I do prefer it in person. I can reach out and punch Sam if necessary. I can look doogie in the eyes to see if he really is telling the truth. Yeah, well, exactly. a hot take, which is... But I'm not surprised, Sam, that you suggested this topic of comebacks of the season so far,

and we're going to more talk about individual players rather than teams. But your own team had a pretty famous comeback last week in the Europa League. You must be delighted. Congratulations, the finalist. Europa League finalist. Big. Yeah, huge, yeah. Oh, it took me three days to get over that emotionally.

It was a big, big performance last Thursday, yeah.

You were there?

I was there.

It was the best I've seen Villa Park in ever.

Really?

And pretty much everybody there also said the same thing.

And a lot of the people that were saying that watched Villa beat PSG last year at Villa Park

and they watched beat by Munich last year.

So yeah, there's been some pretty big nights at Villa Park in the last 18 months or so.

But Thursday, even though it was in the Europa League, kind of topped everything.
