Each episode, Justin Olivier Salhani (Guerrilla FC) and Hani Jaber (Panna Creative) pick a legendary player, manager or other figure in football and discuss how their legacy echoes through the pages of history. The streets will remember the audacious passes, the political stands, the gravity-defying goals, the marketing campaigns, the soul-snatching nutmegs and the swag to execute them all.

We are a complete mess. Hani left his space heater on for this one so a lot of it was unusable (Justin also forget to record an entire episode so he's not blameless either). But in between all this drama, Justin and Hani spoke a bit about the Cote d'Ivoire legend - Didier Drogba. Among the most nightmarish of strikers, Justin didn't like Drogba at …

Hani ran into Nicolas Anelka at the mall in Dubai once. Anelka was a ridiculous talent who burned a lot of bridges. He made a lot of headlines for incidents not related to his play: leaving Arsenal, the 2010 World Cup and the quenelle gesture.

Is there another defender with this much swag? Much like fine French wine, Lilian Thuram gets better with age. We talk about Thuram's brace against Croatia, his conversion to center back, his public stands against Sarko's racist rhetoric and policies and how fucking cool he looked doing it all. We recorded this episode the day after Juneteenth 2020…

One question haunts Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima's career: What If? The REAL Ronaldo's career took place over two very different chapters. In this one, Justin and Hani dissect the legacy left by early and late Ronaldo, how Ronaldo was the first modern, global football star, and debate how good he would be if he played in the modern era (spoiler: re…

In what other domain does the world's best struggle to stay paid and employed? Marta's given us a lot of herself. And not just on the pitch. Justin and Hani talk about Marta's activism, her struggles to find a club and what legacy she's already left behind despite not yet hanging up her equality-symbol boots. Justin also drops some legit SPICE in t…
