Meeting the Pope, living with Gazza and Guinness with Jack Charlton - with Andy Townsend

Meeting the Pope, living with Gazza and Guinness with Jack Charlton - with Andy Townsend

Former Chelsea, Aston Villa and Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Townsend joins Tom and Joe on the show this week.

Andy talks about reaching the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup with Ireland and being invited to meet the Pope before their game against Italy in Rome.

He talks the guys through the difference in football culture from when he was playing in the nineties, and the importance of team bonding and a good night out - often encouraged by the legendary Jack Charlton.

And tells us exactly what it was like living with Paul Gascoigne and how they ended up with a hole in the ceiling and a ruined snooker table.
