    On this special episode of the Fozcast, we take you through Ben's most lucrative contract he ever received while being a professional Goalkeeper. In July of 2011, Ben joined the Midlands rivals of his previous club Birmingham City, West Bromwich Albion. In that season, he played 37 of their 38 games and equalling West Brom's all time clean sheet record of 10. This led West Brom to sign Ben on a permanent deal for the sum of £4,000,000. This contract is the contract we look at today, going through it page-by-page, number by number and bonus-by-bonus to show you the money that players in highest level of English football were being paid at the start of the 2010s and also comparing this to today's insane wage bills and bonuses.

    Today we have a Premier League legend on the Fozcast, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Bursting into the Premier League with Leeds United before a big money move to Atletico Madrid where despite scoring 24 league goals, Madrid were relegated from the top tier of Spanish football. This opened the door for a huge move back to the Premier league with Chelsea for a record fee of £15 million. It didn't take long for him to get off the mark for the Blues as he was able to score on his debut at Wembley in the Charity Shield versus the mighty Manchester United and from that point onwards, the rest is history. In four years at Stamford Bridge he scored 69 goals in 136 games, placing him firmly in the minds and hearts of Chelsea fans for years to come. After stints at numerous clubs from 2004 to 2008, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink retired from playing football and has since become a manager.  In this podcast, the lads speak to Hasselbaink about: The insane first meeting with the legend that is John Terry
