On episode 11 of Inside the Beautiful Game, host Dan Ogunshakin meets former Premier League and Scotland star, Don Hutchison, who since retirement has become one of England's leading football pundits for ESPN, BT Sport, Premier League TV, and BBC Sport.

Don enjoyed a 17-year professional career that saw him start as a trainee at Hartlepool United before moving to English champions Liverpool aged just 19.

After four years at Anfield, he would go on to represent West Ham (twice), Sheffield United, Everton, Sunderland, Millwall, Coventry, and Luton Town.

First capped for Scotland in 1999, Don would go on to win 26 caps for his country, scoring six goals including a famous winner at Wembley in 1999.

On the pod, Don and Dan chat about his early days in the Northeast of England, moving to Liverpool as a teenager from the then fourth division, playing for Howard Kendall, scoring at Wembley and what it meant to his late father, plus life as a football pundit.
