Ian Broudie is a Football God: “Is there any difference from the Hand of God to pretending you’ve been hit in the face?“

The Football Gods

This week’s Football God is none other than Lightning Seeds front man, Ian Broudie. He’s banishing lots of negativity from the game - songs about the other team are out, as is his own shouting at games plus hear what pie makes him happy.

Ian Broudie’s Three Lions anthem will forever be synonymous with football but he’s much more than the song - The Lightning Seeds have a greatest hit album out soon, a 35th Anniversary Tour is on sale now, playing everywhere from Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton to Leadmill in Sheffield. And he’s recently released his book, Tomorrow’s Here Today.

The Football Gods gives famous faces the ultimate footballing role: total power over the beautiful game. Listen as they shape football to their whim and ultimately become The Football Gods. Join our hosts - broadcaster Kate Mason and journalist Tim Spiers - as we ponder the all-important questions such as...“Which player would you send to hell?”, “What flavour pie would be considered the food of the Gods?” and “Which game would you watch forever?”

Given the power, how would you change football?
