The NEW Fozcast season is here and we are kicking things off with a GK Union Special! We have current Spurs and England GK, my good mate Fraser Forster on the pod! 🔥
Fraser has played for the likes of Newcastle, Celtic, Southampton and Spurs, accumulating over 350 appearances across an 18-year career so far! He is a 4-time Scottish Premiership League winner and has also played for England 6 times, including an appearance in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil!
In this episode, we dive deep into his current life at Spurs and go behind the scenes of what it was really like when Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich! We also look at Fraser's time at Celtic and talk about the infamous Old Firm derby and what it was like playing in an atmosphere like that. Finally, Fraser talks to us about how good Virgil van Dijk really is, from seeing him firstly at Celtic and then reuniting with him at Southampton later on in his career!
This one is a belter and I hope you enjoy the first episode of Season 10 of the Fozcast! We have some great guests lined-up over the next few weeks! 🙌🏻
