For episode three, we were joined by author of 'Premier League Nuggets' and Crystal Palace fan Richard Foster.
Being an avid Eagles fan, perhaps unsurprisingly Richard chose his dream Crystal Palace team and also made a choice of manager for the team too.
John Burridge
Over the course of an almost 30 year career, Burridge (affectionately known as 'Budgie') represented fifteen clubs across all levels of the Football League. During his four match spell with Manchester City in the 1994-1995 season, John became the oldest player to play in the Premier League at the age of 43.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
After his £45 million transfer to Manchester United in the summer of 2019, Aaron Wan-Bissaka became the most expensive player to have never received a full international cap.
Kenny Sansom
An England international between 1979 and 1988. Kenny Sansom is the second most capped England full-back (86 caps, 1 goal), only Ashley Cole has played at full-back for the national team on more occasions.
Wilfried Zaha
Despite playing for the Ivory Coast in the 2017 and 2019 AFCON competitions, Zaha's senior international debut actually came for England in November 2012 when he came on as a substitute for Raheem Sterling in the 4-2 defeat to Sweden.
Ian Wright
Ian Wright is one of only two players (the other being Peter Schmeichel) to have won the Premier League title and then had a son do the same. Ian Wright won the title with Arsenal in 1998 and then his son Shaun Wright-Phillips repeated the feat as a Chelsea player in 2006.
