This week Sam & Natalie are joined by former Luton, Tottenham and Leicester Manager as well as Tottenham Director Of Football turned Scout...David Pleat.
David Pleat sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from his time as a manager to his most recent spell as a football scout.
They start the pod by talking about David's new book 'Just One More Goal' where he details stories and anecdotes throughout his long career in the game from a player, to a manager as well as various other roles in football.
David, Sam & Natalie then chat in detail about the importance of a good scout and scouting network and why good recruitment can make or break a club as well as what are some stand out attributes that scouts tend to look for in a player.
David then discusses his time at Tottenham and the various different managers he's worked with including the very impressive Thomas Frank who he rates as one of the best.
David, Sam & Natalie then talk about all of the players David has scouted over the years from Heung Min Son to Gareth Bale before revealing how Tottenham avoided signing a young Robin van Persie before the dutchman would later join Arsenal instead.
The Trio discuss Harry Kane's failed move to Manchester City and just how close the striker was to making the move up North and why Kane's decision to join Bayern Munich stopped Liam Delap and Cole Palmer joining Tottenham.
