An unforgettable summer of sport

GLOBAL
About this episode

As The Sports Agents take a quick break, we pause to reflect on a truly memorable summer of sport with some of our favourite moments and big interviews on the podcast...

During our time in Berlin, on England's run to the Euros final, Gabby & Mark found out how criticism affects the players inside the camp from Conor Coady and David Moyes joined Gabby for a morning coffee and a chance to reflect on his time at West Ham.

When Gareth Southgate decided to resign after the final, former FA Managing Director Martin Glenn - the man who hired Gareth - joined us to discuss his legacy beyond results on the pitch.

Colin Montgomerie joined us for chat after Rory McIlroy announced he would take a break from golf, following his US Open collapse, and McLaren driver Lando Norris discussed his crash with Max Verstappen ahead of the British Grand Prix too.

Then onto the Olympics in Paris, where the likes of Team GB's most decorated gymnast, Max Whitlock & Josh Kerr joined in the fun at Team GB House.
