Description
In this week’s Football Gods, Wolves' legend Steve Bull sets out to make refereeing fairer, recommends his favourite UK town for fish and chips and recalls football training stories from the 80s.
In 1986 Steve Bull joined Wolves from arch-rivals West Bromwich Albion for £65,000, alongside Andy Thompson, and so a legacy began. What followed over the next 13 years was 561 appearances in old gold and a smashed goal scoring record, after he bagged 306 times to cruise past John Richards to the top of the record chart.
Despite competing in the Football League, Bull earned international recognition in the form of 13 England caps and represented his country at the 1990 World Cup. Steve Bull MBE being named a vice president of Wolves in July 2006 continued the incredible legacy he holds at the football club.
The Football Gods gives famous faces the ultimate footballing role: total power over the beautiful game. Listen as they shape football to their whim and ultimately become The Football Gods. Join our hosts - broadcaster Kate Mason and journalist Tim Spiers - as we ponder the all-important questions such as...“Which player would you send to hell?”, “What flavour pie would be considered the food of the Gods?” and “Which game would you watch forever?”
Given the power, how would you change football?
