This week's guest is the first Colombian to appear on this pod with the very un-Colombian name of David Arrowsmith.

Tom Rostance - Part 1

Tom Rostance has worked for BBC Sport as main live text commentator for 10 years, in which he has covered some amazing moments in recent football history including the Agueroo moment in 2012*, then two years later the Mineiraco when Germany hammered Brazil 7-1 in WC semi in 2014 which must have tested his typing speed, as they scored 4 goals in a 6-minute span. Alongside those extraordinary matches, as a Northampton fan, Tom has also experienced some rather ordinary games and it is to the County Ground we head for Tom’s first taste of live football on Boxing Day 1991.
