    In this episode, Mark 'Rivo' Rivers & Richard Brant are joined by former Reading, Newcastle United & West Ham Utd goalkeeper, Shaka Hislop for the 2nd part of the special.

    Shaka begins with his first stint at West Ham Utd under Harry Redknapp where he says under Harry's leadership, players like Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard & Paolo Di Canio were encouraged to be creative and not afraid to make mistakes. Shaka also talks about the infamous Di Canio scissor kick strike in 2000.

    Harry then took Shaka to Portsmouth in what would turn out to be a promotion winning season taking Pompey back to the Premier League.

    Rich makes Shaka relive the 2006 FA Cup Final where, during his 2nd stint at West Ham Utd, the Hammers were seconds away from beating Liverpool in normal time before Steven Gerrard's iconic strike.

    Shaka also talks about his honour in representing Trinidad & Tobago at their very first World Cup in 2006 and receiving the call up to play just minutes before their first game vs Sweden and keeping a clean sheet!! Next game was England where Shaka kept the Three Lions at bay for 83 mins before two late goals win it for England.

    There's also Shaka's take on the modern day GK, who he thought was the best player he ever played with, his career as a pundit on ESPN in America and find out if Shaka could beat Rivo in this week's quiz.
