Ep44: The Modern Fullback
Welcome to the Technical Area, your weekly FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.
This week, we're indulging in the new era of football, where the game changers are not high up the pitch, but more the humble fullback, a player who has become more dynamic as time has gone on.
