Joe and Ash are back in the studio with a former teammate who lit up the Premier League with his explosive, direct style. Former Chelsea, Manchester City, and QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips joins the lads for the latest episode of Football’s Greatest: Could It Be Magic?
Shaun reveals how Mourinho’s tactical genius played out in real time with his plan to stop Ronaldo in the 2007 FA Cup final, Shaun’s first-ever cup final appearance. He opens up about the early influences that shaped his unique playing style - the very style that caught José Mourinho’s eye and led to his move to Chelsea.
He also reflects on his journey to becoming a pro, overcoming rejection, and what it was like growing up with Arsenal icon Ian Wright as a father. Meanwhile, Joe shares an unforgettable story about how Shaun’s arrival at Chelsea, adding even more competition in attack, led to a clash with AC Milan enforcer Gennaro Gattuso.
Beyond Shaun’s career, the guys dive into this year’s FA Cup quarter-finals and discuss why the competition is wide open for teams looking to make history.
All this and more in the latest episode of Football’s Greatest: Could It Be Magic?
