About this episode

The first of our countdown of the biggest moments, themes and events of the last ten years comes in the shape of World Cup 2010. The first tournament of its kind ever to be held in Africa, the world was treated to vuvuzelas, Bafana Bafana, yet another turgid performance from those Three Lions and Spain lifting the trophy.


The boys don't let England's showing dampen their spirits though as they enthusiastically march down memory lane regaling all with their memories of the summer, including what it was like to be on the ground in Johannesburg.
