Head In The Game is the football fans' podcast - made by football fans, for football fans. We'll cover everything from the sublime to the ridiculous, very occasionally stopping off to discuss important mental health issues that football has helped all 3 of our presenters to overcome at one time or another.
In this episode, we create a starting 11 of the greatest players never to get the chance to make a senior appearance for England. The guys also go head-to-head in a nail-biting game of "Loss Of Points" or, as it's more popularly now known, "Lee Cattermole's Wheel Of Fortune".
Look out for cult heroes, clowns, a little chaos and the now seemingly ceremonial mention of Darren Huckerby and Mark Crossley.

Ep03: Have Goalkeepers Got Better or Worse?
After trawling through hours of Premier League Years and seeing Alan Shearer slot the ball away a couple of centimetres either side of the 'keeper, the boys had a question. Have goalkeepers improved over the years? Or is it just that highlight reels always favour attackers? They also play a game of "First Impressions Matter", which features the only time you'll ever hear Lionel Messi and Matty Fryatt mentioned in the same breath.
Do you think goalkeepers have gotten better or gotten worse? We'd love to hear from you at @HITGPod on Twitter.

Ep02: What Makes a Great Captain?
In this episode, the guys take a look at what makes a great captain. Is it resilience and leadership? Or is it just a generous slice of s**thousery?. They also play Dan's new favourite game, "What's in a Name?", where you'll hear about some of the modern footballing greats like Jennifrum de Blok, Alistair McAllister and Christ Bongo.

Ep01: The Best Bad Footballer
In this episode, the guys take a trip down memory lane to debate who the best "bad" footballer they've ever seen is? Starting at their own clubs; Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Walsall, they then look at the wider game discussing some of the most iconic bad players to ever grace the Premier League.
This week also sees the introduction of "The Strike Is Right", a guessing game with a format that has definitely not been ripped off of any 80's game shows...
Let us know who your best bad player of all time is, and whether or not you can beat the guys at their own game?1
