The Crisis Tapes #2

Episode description
Dan and Tom return, with very special guest Greg Jenner, public historian and author, Spurs fan, and more famous - we determine - than Eastenders' Sid Owen.
We discuss the culture of celebrity and how footballers in the current climate have had the light shone on them perhaps brighter than ever before. The history of sporting celebrity, sponsorship, salaries and public perception are covered in this fascinating discussion.
We also cover training in the park, Son's military service, footballer's wages and much more.
