Summary

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey and Charlie Eccleshare are joined by former Liverpool defender, European Cup winner and long-serving BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson or, as simply everyone knows him, Lawro.

Among Lawro's selections for his footballing fascinations and irritations are managerial touchline bust-ups, referees making players walk over to them to get booked and, of course, "players squealing when they get tackled".

Meanwhile, Lawro discusses the cultural reach of his now-retired BBC predictions column, his curious Pro Evo 2010 commentary and that alleged on-air falling-out with Guy Mowbray during a live World Cup game.
