This week on FBC Classics, we're heading back to our Series 2 opener, where we read Jerzy Dudek's incredibly titled 'A Big Pole In Our Goal', and found out about Jerzy's charmed life when it comes to cheating death by brick, boiling coffee, goose scares and almost drowning while fishing for cuttlefish in a mine.

To listen to the full episode, scroll back in your feeds to Series 2 Episode 1 'Jerzy Dudek's 'A Big Pole In Our Goal'.

This week we're reading Leicester legend and all-round 90s hero, Muzzy Izzet's 2015 classic 'Muzzy: My Story'. And it's everything we dreamed it would be.

Featuring Martin O'Neill: Amateur Masseur, Muzzy watching Eight Legged Freaks at the 2002 World Cup, pure hatred towards Tim Sherwood and the wider Middlesbrough area, and Nicky Summerbee's disappointing choice of nickname. Plus Jesy Nelson, Supernanny and - frankly - far too much talk about Muzzy's circumcision.

But most importantly: Izzet any good? Find out now!

David Ginola might be best known for his mazy dribbles and luscious, L'Oreal infused locks, but did you know he once successfully raised the dead? Probably not! But that's what we found out when the brilliant comedian Rhys James joined us to read his Spurs hero's 2000 autobiography 'Le Magnifique'.

This week we're entering the mad, mad world of larger-than-life football league legend, Barry Fry. As we read his classic 2000 autobiography 'Big Fry' with Jack Rivlin & Zachary Sweeney-Lynch of the brilliant The Upshot podcast.

Featuring Barry's many run-ins with extremely dodgy chairmen, lifting a curse on St Andrew's with his own urine, signing George Best for Dunstable, identifying a headless corpse, ruining Karren Brady's life at Birmingham City, a surprising amount of Matthew Etherington, and much, much more.

After Luke Chadwick joined us last week, we're sticking with the Manchester United theme by revisiting the time we read Gary & Phil Neville's jointly-written 'For Club & Country'. The highlight of which was their *genuine* trip to the cinema with Sir Alex Ferguson to watch Spiceworld: The Movie. Plus the Man United dressing room ponder over whether Princess Diana was the best looking woman in the world.
