Man City and England international, Kyle Walker and presenter and Love Island star Chris Hughes kick off the series by digging into Kyle's footballing life. Episode one goes into the weeds on some of the important topics surrounding his career: the best player he's played with and against; the name he least likes seeing on a team sheet; and the player who, over the last few seasons in the Premier League, has given him the toughest time.

Kyle also discusses how he plays certain wingers, explains the differences in how you defend a Vinicius Jr versus a Jack Grealish, and names the player he believes is the best right back in the world. And then, taking the component parts of his peers, builds the perfect fullback.

Kyle and Chris also discuss the mental challenges of the modern game, identify the best low-key player in the Premier League, and Kyle gives an insight into what his teammates really think about him.
