Football Book Club, You Were Simp-Lee The Best

About this episode

The final episode of Football Book Club features a reading of Lee McCulloch's autobiography and various celebratory segments.

It's the final EVER episode of Football Book Club! But we're going out in style, as we read the best (or worst) titled footballer's autobiography of all time, Lee McCulloch's 'Simp-Lee The Best'. Because, my friends, that's exactly what these past seven years have been. Featuring the former Wigan and Rangers hero going into battle at Ibrox. Having his chips eaten in front of Emile Heskey. His ingenious plans to get a transfer off Dave Whelan. Paul Jewell v Boyzone. And that one time he appeared on Pat Sharp's Fun House. Plus plenty of final episode celebrations, including an extra-special dramatic reading, the big quiz of the show AND possibly the greatest Ken Zong yet. Thanks for listening everyone!
