Great show

Great insight from John and lovely stories of his time playing on the street.

More please

With lockdown 2 ahead can John restart his brilliant retro themed shows. Here are my top 3 id like him to do.
1. The 1966 World Cup tournament.
2. The 1970 World Cup tournament and the 1970 Final. A game he was actually at. Watching one of, if not THE most iconic games in football history.
3. The 1974 World Cup tournament.
