Phil and Anto are joined by Wales and Derby County midfield Robbie Savage to have a chat about several key talking points - none more important than his ambassador role with Grass Roots Football in England where we get into some of the pressures surrounding kids trying to reach their footballing dreams today. We also touch upon the Wales national team and its current direction under Gary Speed, the season at Derby County and several key fixtures ahead in The Championship, the prospects of Cardiff and Swansea reaching the Premier League and then Robbie explains just how close he was to joining MLS with the Vancouver Whitecaps in their first season at the North American top flight since the NASL era. Robbie is always very candid and he shares with us his ongoing media work as he begins an almost seamless transition from player to pundit, having been nominated for a Sony broadcasting award in his very first year. Always entertaining and always willing to have a joke at his own expense, Robbie is truly a great listen and a complete original.
