TFW Christmas with Michael Atherton
🕑 Added 2021-12-25 11:30:32 +0000 UTCA very happy Christmastime to all of you, whether winding up your Christmas in Australia, starting in the UK, or at any point anywhere else in between.
Thanks so much for helping make our show possible this year - you all are The Final Word, simple as that. We're already looking forward to what we can do in 2022.
Season 11, Ep 10: As we love to do at this time of year, it's time to sit down for a long conversation with a much loved voice of the game. In years past we've had Jim Maxwell, Harsha Bhogle, and Mel Jones at Christmas, this year it's Michael Atherton. A voice of the game and a pen of the game after his years leading England through turbulent times. He was, as expected, a delight.
