If Blackburn Signed Zidane

Available for over a year

"If Blackburn Signed Zidane explores football’s greatest ‘what if’ moments and dives into the multiverse to put things right on the timeline. In series two, episode nine, Specs & Tego are joined by Scottish rapper and Aberdeen fan Ransom FA to ask ‘What if Celtic & Rangers had joined the Premier League?’. In 2009 Bolton chairman Phil Gartside put forward a plan that would have changed the fabric of British football. Would Celtic and Rangers have been top four contenders? Would Sir Alex Ferguson have left Manchester United to join a club in his native Scotland? And what does this all mean for Aberdeen? As always Specs works his magic to change football history… Host: Specs Gonzalez Co-host: Tego Sigel Produced by: Conor Hewitt & Alpha Barrie. A Folding Pocket production for BBC Sounds."
