From glory days on tour to how sport has changed, from larger-than-life teammates to life after the final whistle, no subject is off limits. Sometimes serious, often irreverent, always honest — it’s sport as you’ve never heard it before. Join Beefy and Bill — plus an all-star line-up of amazing guests — for stories, banter, and a fresh take on the games they love.

The 'King of Spin' lifts the lid on what it was like to be a part of the 2005 Lions squad, how Steve Thompson nearly discovered the next Prime Minister before anyone else and an infamous Clive Woodward initiated team-talk that had Martin Corry wanting to 'lay me out'. Plus what happened when Campbell took Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson to watch Burnley at Hartlepool and which Championship football team is Ian starting to follow?
