In this second part of the interview (and the final episode of this series!), host Carl Jones is joined once again by the voice of ITV football for almost two decades - a job in which he called some of the biggest moments in domestic, European and international football - the incomparable Clive Tyldesley.
Picking up where we left off last week, we chat about international tournaments and which host nation proved to be his most memorable trip away. We discuss how football and society are intertwined, for better and for worse, and we cover what it's like to be in the commentary box describing a dismal England exit from a major tournament - especially when it means you've got to call the position of your great friend, the England manager Roy Hodgson, untenable.
Clive shares the only time he ever asked a manager if he'd still be in a job by the following weekend, and why he never asked that question again. And he gives insight into what being the voice of the FIFA video games series was like and how it led to the most unlikely moments of being recognised by his distinctive voice.
All of that and much more in a superb end to season two of When Football Began Again.
