Description

This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart and Mark Clattenburg are joined by veteran Sun journalist Andy Dillon, who lifts the lid on 26 years of wild football stories. From Chelsea players microwaving their boots and Graham Potter making his team perform Swan Lake, to Russell Martin’s Loch Lomond dip after a Rangers defeat.


Andy also relives his biggest scoops - from Edu’s fake passport scandal to Wayne Rooney’s metatarsal miracle before the 2006 World Cup - and shares the tabloid headlines that made history (and sometimes made managers furious). Plus: stag do chaos, paparazzi hiding in bushes, and the legendary tale of the parasailing donkey.
