Proper Football with Alex Iwobi

Everton and Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi is this week's guest on the pod, and you can listen to it first on BBC Sounds. Alex reveals how he overcame the doubters, including some of his teachers, to forge a successful football career. He also discusses why he's an advocate for mental health and whether Everton can improve their results between now and the end of the season. He also recalls when Arsene Wenger announced he was leaving Arsenal, being managed by a fired-up Duncan Ferguson and why he sometimes plays football with his mates in disguise. Please note the interview with Alex was recorded in December 2022. Meanwhile, Kammy remembers a time he lost his temper with one of his Bradford players and a Newcastle fan confesses he may be the reason for their League Cup Final defeat to Manchester United in Father Kammy.
