    My MADDEST Moments: Goals, Chest Shaving & A Fergie Impression!

    Wayne looks back on some of the wildest and most unforgettable moments of his career with Kelly Somers and Kae Kurd. He relives his stunning halfway-line strike for Everton against West Ham in 2017, and reveals whether Sir Alex Ferguson used to lose his temper seeing him try something like that at Manchester United. Wayne also opens up on the infamous moment he swore into the camera after scoring against West Ham, why he did it, whether he regrets it now, and why he felt the two-game ban that followed was especially harsh. The episode also dives into some of the Premier League’s greatest goals, including his role in Robin van Persie’s iconic volley against Aston Villa in 2013, why it wasn’t just a lucky moment, and where it ranks among the best strikes the league has ever seen. Plus, he revisits the famous end-to-end team goal with Cristiano Ronaldo against Bolton, how it was worked on in training, and why that tactic was often so effective for United, especially against Arsenal. Wayne also shares what it was really like playing alongside Ronaldo as he elevated himself to superstar level, and what he was like behind the scenes. Finally, Wayne explains why he shaved the number 19 on to his chest and what Coleen thought of it and he tells a hilarious story from a team charades game where he dared to mime Fergie’s infamous boot incident with David Beckham…right in front of the boss himself.

    Wayne, Kelly and Kae tackle the latest uncertainty at Manchester United amid reports that Michael Carrick or Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could return as interim manager. Wayne explains why he believes Carrick is the right fit for the role, whether he’d consider joining his backroom team, and what his very first message to the players would be if he stepped back into the club. He also names his ideal long-term appointment at United and debates whether it still matters to have coaches with a deep history and understanding of the club, questioning if United has lost its famous family feel.

Wayne also has strong views on Oliver Glasner’s explosive comments, arguing why he thinks Glasner may be looking for a way out of the club, what’s really triggered his frustration, and why so many Premier League managers are now openly criticising club execs. Tottenham fan and comedian Josh James joins the pod to vent his frustration at Spurs’ struggles under Thomas Frank.

Wayne explains why he thinks Mikel Arteta panicked during the game and there are questions about Arsenal's threat from open play and whether leaders like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard need to step up. Wayne also gives his thoughts on Andy Robertson’s future at Liverpool after he was linked with Tottenham, and why he’d still keep and start him. Wayne also opens up on the reality of being an older player and what it feels like when you start to be phased out.

    Wayne’s Iconic Games, Being The World’s Best & Breaking Records

    Wayne is joined by Kelly Somers, Kae Kurd and Adam McKola to look back on some of the most unforgettable matches and moments of his remarkable career. Wayne reflects on the goal that announced him to the world: his iconic strike for Everton against Arsenal in 2002. He describes the goal from his own perspective, admits how shocked he felt by the sheer size of the Arsenal players in the Goodison Park tunnel, and explains how that moment changed his life. The conversation then turns to Euro 2004, as Wayne relives his two goals against Croatia and explains why he genuinely felt he was the best player in the world heading into the tournament. From there, the panel revisit Manchester United’s dramatic Champions League final victory over Chelsea in 2008, with Wayne revealing Sir Alex Ferguson’s unforgettable pre-match team talk, why he thought it was all over when John Terry stepped up to take Chelsea’s 5th penalty and how inspiring words from Sir Bobby Charlton convinced him United were destined to lift the trophy. He also shares the story of the cheeky fan who somehow blagged his way onto the pitch and into the post-match party. Wayne also looks back on United’s astonishing 8-2 win over Arsenal in 2011, revealing how shocked the players were by the scoreline and where his hat-trick ranks among his favourite treble performances. He also reflects on former team-mate Anderson, discussing why the Brazilian’s career perhaps never matched his immense talent. The episode closes with memories from Wayne’s later United years, including the 2017 draw with Stoke that saw him become the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, and why he credits José Mourinho in part for that landmark goal. Wayne debates whether records or trophies matter more, recalls what drove him to win the FA Cup in 2016, and reveals the goalkeeper he once told he would chip, before going out and doing exactly that.
