Ep. 18: How to Fix the PL Hall of Fame, Trent’s New Academy and Goodbye Graeme Souness

The Premier League has officially unveiled its Hall of Fame class for 2023 – but what should be one of the most significant cultural moments in the football calendar feels like a missed opportunity. The VERSUS team looks at why the PL should turn to the NBA for some inspiration in how to honour legends the right way. We also break down the most important stories in football culture from the last week including Trent Alexander-Arnold’s new project to help ex-academy players transition out of football, what Graeme Souness’ departure means for sports media, and VERSUS’ new initiative with Chelsea that’s seeking to diversify football off-pitch. ‘The Future of Football’ is a weekly podcast from VERSUS that brings you closer to the people, the stories and the ideas shaping the future of the game.
