24: Roberto Martínez

Buzz 16 Productions
About this episode
It's the last episode before Christmas!
To finish off the year, Jamie is joined by a Spaniard who was a third of 'The Three Amigos' at Wigan Athletic, and then later guided them to a classic underdog victory over Man City in the FA Cup final. It's Roberto Martínez!

Jamie and Roberto talk about the culture shock when arriving from Spain to Wigan (there was no coffee in Wigan in 1995!), changing the style at Swansea City, managing the number 1 ranked national team in the world, and trying to sign Jamie for Everton!

Roberto also tells Jamie his greatest game and ultimate 5-a-side team.
