Host Trev Downey takes more of a back seat as two callers put Jan through his paces on topics as varied as the Souness era, the best dead-ball experts, Dalglish vs Laudrup and Rafa vs Klopp. The subscribers’ queries are equally on-point and The Great Dane is on typically insightful and entertaining form as he navigates them.
