    Chapter Fifteen – The Modern Rivalry… with Kyle Walker

    We’ve reached the end of our Premier League storybook for now, and its time to bring you up to date with a snapshot of the current narrative… the consistent brilliance of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, and their now-annual tussle with Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.
    Kyle Walker is one of the mainstays at City under Guardiola and gives a unique insight into life at the top of the Premier League, and the perennial champions view of their closest rivals.
    This modern rivalry echoes great battles from throughout our storybook, and some of the game’s leading lights also give their view on the two sides and the Premier League’s current landscape.
    Chapter 15 brings us to a close… for now.

    Chapter Thirteen – The Greatest Moment Ever… with Joleon Lescott

    Chapter Thirteen – The Greatest Moment Ever… with Joleon Lescott

    You could be forgiven as a Manchester City fan for thinking things weren’t ever going to go your way. Watching your rivals United sweep up honours at home and abroad as you bounce around divisions.
    That all changed when City were bought by the Abu Dhabi Group… and while they enjoyed early success, football turned on its head with the most famous Premier League goal of all time – that last-second Sergio Aguero winner to win the blue half of Manchester its first Premier League crown.
    Joleon Lescott was a mainstay of City’s team that year and we’ll hear from him on that incredible day, while United players from the time and those around the game also give their view.
    Chapter 13 is one never to be forgotten.

    Chapter Twelve – The Great Escapes... with Anton Ferdinand

    Chapter Twelve – The Great Escapes... with Anton Ferdinand

    Our journey through Premier League history has inevitably focused on the very top teams – Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and the rest dominating the division.
    In terms of drama, though, it’s the other end of the table that often wins out… there’s nothing like watching your team in a relegation battle to test the nerves.
    West Ham’s famous ‘Great Escape’ in 2007 is one of the most famous survival stories and is relived in full by Anton Ferdinand, while other stars give their own painful memories of the dreaded drop.
    Chapter 12 is one of the most exciting yet…

    Chapter Eleven – The Managers… with Harry Redknapp

    Chapter Eleven – The Managers… with Harry Redknapp

    So far in our journey we’ve gone through some of the greatest teams the Premier League has ever seen. Where would the Treble Winners or the Invincibles be, however, without their fantastic managers?
    Being in the dugout has a unique set of pressures that only a select few will ever know about. Harry Redknapp is one of the Premier League’s longest-serving bosses, and gives us a roller coaster ride through life in the hotseat.
    He’s joined by the likes of Martin Keown and Joe Cole giving their views on different managers, while Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand reveal what it’s like to be on the end of a Fergie hairdryer.

    Chapter Ten – The Transfers… with Rio Ferdinand

    Chapter Ten – The Transfers… with Rio Ferdinand

    Our Premier League storybook has seen a load of jaw-dropping moves that decided the fate of English football’s biggest prizes down the years – so it’s time to focus on the transfer market… the fans’ favourite gossip centre that has become football’s most fearsome battle ground.

    Rio Ferdinand twice broke records as he moved from West Ham to Leeds and then, controversially, to Manchester United. He takes us through those big-money deals, what it’s like to be at the eye of the storm and, of course, what Fergie thought of that white suit.

    Chapter Ten lifts the curtain on football’s biggest industry…
