This week the lads get excited as the World Cup gets underway and they look back at some of their England and Scotland memories, including Lummy's Three Lions snub when the call came.

Plenty of football stories as usual, including players that moved to WWE, International stars pinching girlfriends and the game's best drinkers.

The lads also talk through the day before their professional debuts and how they felt and Dylan talks about the nerves ahead of delivering a captain's speech in the Celtic huddle.

After a recent run of guest episodes the lads are back together as a three and straight back to what they do best.

Expect stories around which England player slept in the overhead luggage compartment on the flight after a Euro 96 game, World Cup preview and find out which ex Newcastle United player Skip still can't find anything positive to say about and his reasons which include an earring and a pint of P*ss.

Throw in a few reader's stories about anonymous ex players antics and 'the great curry debate' and you've got an episode full of laughs and banter.

Grant Holt provides his take on Carlisle United in the wake of the dismissal of Mark Hughes

In this episode the lads sit down with former Norwich City captain and Premier League striker Grant Holt to explore one of football's most inspiring journeys.

Grant reflects on his unconventional path through non-league football, balancing work and ambition, overcoming setbacks, and proving that determination can outweigh talent alone.

From early mornings and factory shifts to packed stadiums and Premier League goals, Grant shares the lessons he learned over a career that saw him play across all five of England's professional leagues and come close to an England call up.

Find out how close he was to his England dream, his favourite manager to play for and the one regret in his career, the club he never got to pull on the shirt for despite four near opportunities.

An inspirational career and a lesson in never giving up on your dream, one definitely not to be missed.

Graham Anthony | That Corner, That Keeper, That Moment

Join us this week as Three in the Middle becomes Four and Graham Anthony joins the lads to discuss his career in football, from sharing dressing rooms with the likes of Vinny Jones, Don Hutchinson and Brian Deane to his key part in the Jimmy Glass goal that lives on as one of the most iconic moments football has ever seen. We also find out who was the Liverpool Legend he rates as the best he's played against, the worst dressed he's shared a dressing room with and the Carlisle manager that was a 'duck egg' .

The usual roundup from the last week in football covers everything from the English and Scottish Premier League title chases to the aftermath of Carlisle United's season and the impact the new owners have had on the club.

In a more poignant moment Graham looks back at a few memorable moments with his best mate Tony Hopper who sadly passed away a few years back after a battle with Motor Neurone Disease ahead of what would have been his 50th birthday this month, with a host of fundraising events happening in his memory. As per Tony's character everything involves plenty of laughs including the 'shitting himself' drink before the Jimmy Glass game through to the celebration drinks the morning after.
