GOAT podcast
Podcast series by sports journalists Tom Beattie and Jack Lacey discussing the greatest figures in every sport! For series 2 we are looking at some of Britain's biggest football clubs and finding out who is their 'Greatest Player of All Time'. Join us for The GOAT podcast: 'club series'.
The boys are back from a mini-hiatus, to take on a huge challenge, as they form the all-time greatest England team.
From Billy Wright to Bobby Charlton, and Nobby Stiles to David Beckham, we run through some of the best players in the national team's history, with the aim of picking a G.O.A.T XI.
For this special episode, Tom and Lacey welcomed back Dan Haygarth, editor of Main Stand Musings, CambridgeshireLive journalist and regular guest.
All three picked their own England greatest XI, before the tough task of forming a combined side, complete with manager.
It was incredibly hard to leave some of the best players in history out of the team, but we did our best.
We hope you enjoy this episode of the Goat Podcast and wherever you are this summer, have a great European Championship.
