The Receipts Are In! Is Rio The Greatest...

Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

The HMRC of football podcasts, Karel Prince, joins Ste and Joel to come face to face with Rio after several messages back and forth on social media. After creating several viral videos scrutinising anecdotes and stories from players about their careers on various podcasts - Karel wants to bring some more evidence to put to Mr. Ferdinand. It’s the first time that Karel is in the presence of a player he’s made a video about so you’ll learn about the forensic process, the reasons for calling people out and the fallout that happens after the videos get released, plus Rio’s reaction to some new charges brought against him.


Karel looks at whether there’s enough evidence out there to confirm Rio’s status as the greatest defender ever to have played in the Premier League. We’ve got the game’s best fact checker in position to hear the case for and against.


Manchester United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently suggested that Ruben Amorim will get three years to prove he is a good coach - so the guys discuss whether that's fair, analyse the comparison he made with Arteta and look at the positives of the owner making such a public stance.


Plus, Rio has to pick a player to take a free-kick who has to score it, in order to save his life. So who would he choose in today’s game, and from history, to take the most important set-piece of their lives?
