We’re BACK with the first I Had Trials Once episode of the new year!
Jordan & Gaz are joined by former Manchester United, Middlesbrough and Wales star Clayton Blackmore to go over his life before, during and after football.
The boys discuss everything from why Cristiano Ronaldo is superior to Lionel Messi to what it was like seeing the class of '92 burst into the first team at Manchester United!
Later in the pod they talk Paul Gascoigne and how he once destroyed Middlesbrough's brand new team bus and why Ryan Giggs was a better player than George Best!
