The former Acting Chief Executive of the FA assesses Roy Hodgson’s selection. One of Hodgson’s long-time friends and colleagues gives an insight into a relatively little-known figure in his own country. As Barcelona prepare to bid Pep Guardiola farewell and anoint Tito Vilanova, we hear from a man who played with them both. And we’re in Russia to check on preparations for the 2018 World Cup and the state of the pitches in the Russian Premier League.
