The lads then chat about Charlie's early life in football with Rangers, playing against that iconic Barcelona team & learning from the legendary Walter Smith.
Charlie and the boys then speak about how moving to Blackpool really kick started his career, Ian Holloway's incredible man management skills as well as achieving the impossible and winning promotion to the Premier League.
Charlie then talks in depth about how his dream move to Liverpool came about, meeting Sir Kenny Dalglish & why Steven Gerrard was the perfect captain.
The trio then discuss Charlie's move to Stoke City where he spent 7 years, losing card roulette with Peter Crouch & how he gained his 'Parched' nickname.
Finally they discuss Charlie's time with the Scottish national team before chatting about life after playing football and stepping into coaching.
