It is incredible to think that Italy, World Champions five years ago, were ever ranked outside of
the top ten in the FIFA rankings. But, such had been their fall from the summit of world football

Very pleased to talk with Gary Al-Smith this episode a West African football analyst and regular
contributor to ESPN soccernet. Kevin asks Gary on African player development and their influence
in the world of football plus the situation of academies in West Africa. While Adam puts Gary on

"Can anybody, anywhere, show me a better player?" Sir Bobby Robson 34 goals in 37 games for
Barcelona. 83 in 127 for Real Madrid. For PSV, an even more remarkable 42 in 46 games. A career

forever be remembered not for what he did achieve, but for what potential was kept permanently in
hindrance.
