Who’s the most complete keeper in the Premier League: Alisson or Ederson? Did Aaron Ramsdale deserve to lose his place to David Raya in the Arsenal goal? And why did he love working for Jose Mourinho at Chelsea?
These are some of the questions Jeff puts to former Middlesbrough, Fulham and Australia keeper Mark Schwarzer on this week’s Football’s Greatest.
They also discuss how he was left fuming with Mark Hughes when a move to Arsenal collapsed in 2010, why he’s backing his Aussie compatriot Ange Postecoglu to be a success at Tottenham and he reveals why modern keepers have one eye on the cameras when making saves now.
Plus he explains why he thinks last summer was the right time for David de Gea to leave Manchester United, reveals which Liverpool keeper threw the ball like a javelin and why the Champions League theme music still gives him goosebumps.
Football’s Greatest is a Folding Pocket production with BBC Studios.

This is Football’s Greatest with Jeff Stelling, a weekly podcast where the legendary host sits down with icons of the sport – one on one – to talk about those who made a difference in the beautiful game from a players’ perspective: the top keepers, the toughest defenders, the silkiest midfielders and the deadliest strikers.
The show will also look at those who had great influence off the pitch too – the successful managers, the funniest team-mates and the most impressive leaders in the dressing room – and pay homage to indelible moments from the biggest competitions like the Premier League, Champions League and the World Cup.
Broken down into two individual episodes with each guest, Football’s Greatest will take you inside the dressing rooms of some of the best soccer teams the world has ever seen. You will hear stories that surprise you, that make you laugh out loud and that you will be thinking of and telling people about for days after.
