This week we're reading Tottenham Hotspur legend and face of L'Oreal David Ginola's 2000 classic 'Le Magnifique', and joining us to read it is the brilliant comedian and huge Spurs fan, Rhys James (Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo, Fit and Proper podcast).
Featuring David channeling his namesake David Brent, strong words about George Graham and Alan Sugar, and getting trapped on a yacht by Sir Alan Sugar. Plus an extensive look at David's acting career (including how he thinks should’ve been cast in Dances With Wolves) and a young David raises the dead with his school friends.
