How To Win The World Cup

Matt Forde is joined by Alex Brooker and 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit in the latest episode of How to win the World Cup

This week, we are discussing mavericks, and if the presence of a mercurial talent can win you the World Cup, and also potentially cost you one

Emmanuel tells us all about the heroics of Zidane who inspired the French to victory in 1998 and also how he was received in his home country eight years later when he was sent off in the final for headbutting Marco Matterzzi in his final act as a footballer

We also ask him who he believes England's most likely maverick is, and if the role is still prevalent in modern football
