This week Sam & Natalie are joined by former Blackburn Rovers & Birmingham midfielder...DAVID DUNN.

David Dunn sits down alongside Sam Allardyce and Natalie Pike to discuss all things football from his time playing under Sam at Blackburn Rovers to why England need to play Adam Wharton.

They start the pod by talking about how Sam almost signed David Dunn for his Bolton Wanderers team before Blackburn came in and poached him at the last minute.

David, Sam & Natalie then chat in detail about the Venky's ownership of Blackburn, how Sam's time at the club came to an end, how did the players really feel at the time and why it's all gone wrong for the former Premier League club.

The trio then talk about Blackburn's decision to ban their local paper from the club, what it was like playing with Tugay in that iconic Blackburn team and the story behind THAT infamous chicken advert at the club.

David, Sam & Natalie then talk about youth football at grassroots level, why David's son Isaac Dunn has a bright future ahead of him at Blackburn before they talk about playing with Keith Andrews and the incredible job he's doing at Brentford.

They then discuss Birmingham's first season back in the Championship and what success will look like this year as well as the pride David has at earning a cap for England and why injuries prevented him from getting more.

Finally they end the podcast by talking about the brilliance of Adam Wharton, why he needs to be starting for England and what Sam & David's starting XI would be for England's world cup opening game.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. ā€œFoods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,ā€ says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
