George Cohen Tributes And The Premier League Returns!

Hosted by Jason Cundy. We started this podcast off by looking back at the life of England World Cup winner George Cohen who sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 83. We heard tributes coming from Simon Jordan, legendary football manager Roy Hodgson and iconic commentator John Motson who all spoke incredibly highly of MBE George Cohen. We continued the podcast with Ray Parlour and Darren Bent who both agreed that Liverpool reaching top four this season is a MUST for Jurgen Klopp's men! Neil Warnock believes the second half of this Premier League season should be fiery due to the World Cup interruption and players being more alert. Simon Jordan gave his reaction to Pep Guardiola's recent press conference and believes Guardiola WILL win the Champions League with Man City during his spell in charge. And finally we look ahead to talkSPORT GameDay where we bring you live, free and exclusive commentary of the return of the Premier League on Boxing Day!
