Sound of Football Podcast 105 - Talismanic footballers

This week, Graham, Chris and Terry discuss the importance of the "talismanic player". That man who defines and lifts a team and is diminished by his absence. Is the effect of the likes of Steven Gerrard, Paul Gascoigne and Robin van Persie on a team real or illusory. Is the talisman merely a construct to help maintain the narrative of football or are they crucial to the success of their club?
