In this bonus episode of Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Mark Clattenburg and Ian Ladyman dive into some truly eye-opening stats: Jude Bellingham has already played five times more minutes than David Beckham did at the same age! What does that mean for the future of young players - and are we all watching too much football?

The lads also:

• Debate whether football has finally reached overload


• Relive the madness of £198 million transfers and quiz each other on record-breaking deals


• Add new legends to their all-time dream XIs (expect big Liverpool and Barcelona shouts!)


• Share behind-the-scenes stories: from Trevor Francis & Graeme Souness posing in speedos to safari tips for Ian’s dream trip to South Africa
