SPM 235: Footballing Fathers & Sons

The podcast where four friends - presenter Hugh Ferris, writer Rory Smith, commentator Steven Wyeth & pundit Andy Hinchcliffe - talk football over food. This week: footballing families and the impact a successful player has on their offspring's chance of success. In what seems an increasingly incestuous industry, is a legacy talent a help or a hindrance and does nepotism give a youngster an edge when tough judgements are made about a talent’s potential for fulfilment? And does a genetic disposition and exposure & opportunity ultimately trump a similar talent that lacks the benefit of privilege and contacts? Plus if you’re thinking footballing fathers & sons would make an ideal SPM Select XI then you are in luck! The food: Chinch consumes something that sounds like a salon quality shampoo or experimentally cocktail but is apparently good for him.
