We welcome back to squad central, John Harkes! A true trailblazer of the game and an athlete who changed the perception of American players in Europe, John has truly lived the football dream.

On this episode, we dive into what it was like to be play for and captain the US team in the 1994 World Cup. From the pressure to the privilege and his encounters with Pelé, we discuss the reality and intensity of it all.

John also had some monumental battles against the Arsenal in the 90s and his significant impact for Sheffield Wednesday in the cup battles we faced gave him iconic status at the club.

If you enjoy nostalgia and the history of the game, you won't want to miss this fantastic football conversation with a true great. Have your say in our football democracy.
