What if West Ham had kept their 'Golden Generation?'
This episode contains mild strong language.
Harry Redknapp took charge of West Ham in 1994 and worked with Head of Youth Development Tony Carr to produce quality young players through their Academy. Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Michael Carrick and Jermain Defoe all debuted and became first team players under his leadership. They would all go on to seek pastures new and become world class players, while Harry Redknapp would say that ‘West Ham’s ‘golden generation’ could have won the Premier League had they all remained at the club.’ Specs is joined by Tego and StevoTheMadman to ask the question ‘What if West Ham had kept their ‘Golden Generation?’ Would they have brought glory to West Ham? Would they have won the Premier League? How would this have shaped European football? Would it have changed England’s destiny at the World Cup and Euros? As always Specs has all the answers inside the world of his imagination.

What if Arsenal had never let go of Harry Kane?
Harry Kane was famously part of the Arsenal academy in the early 2000s but he was eventually released after he was determined to not be good enough. He then went on to join local rivals Tottenham Hotspur and become one of the greatest strikers in Premier League history.

Does he become Arsenal's all-time top scorer? Would his character change? What would happen to Tottenham? As always Specs has all the answers inside the world of his imagination.
