Seth Johnson joins us this week to finally clear up one of football’s biggest urban myths — the legendary Leeds United contract story. From leaving home at 14 to survive Dario Gradi’s ruthless standards at Crewe, to becoming part of Derby’s chaotic foreign-superstar era, Seth brings some unbelievable tales, including stories about Ravenelli turning up suited and spotless every day, a teammate praying in toilet cubicles before kick-off, and the car crash that nearly ended everything at 17. Seth also tells the full truth about the night out in Slovakia that saw him, Matt Jansen and Lee Hendrie banned from the England U21s for three months, why he turned down Liverpool despite late-night calls from Gérard Houllier, and what it was like making his England debut next to Del Piero. A funny, honest and long-awaited chat with a player fans have always wanted to understand properly.
