Noughties Nostalgia #1: Rio Ferdinand signs for Man Utd, Johan Elmander goal v Wolves

Welcome to the very first edition of What if Football's new podcast. This is the Noughties Nostalgia Podcast, where each week myself and my esteemed pal Alex Rhodes select a footballing moment from the 2000s to dive into and discuss. Today, Alex has chosen a moment, whilst not strictly from the 2000s, but in November 2010, but is still enshrouded in nostalgia. Johan Elmander's silky finish against Wolverhampton Wanderers for Bolton Wanderers was voted The Premier League's best goal in December 2011 by readers of The Guardian. We discuss whether or not we would laud it if the likes of Lionel Messi or Dennis Bergkamp scored it. Also, on this day, Rio Ferdinand signed for Manchester United for a record-breaking £30 million for a defender. We discuss how crucial he was in stitching together the Treble winning team of the late 90s to the Rooney, Ronaldo et al United team of the late 2000s. And did his missed drugs test postpone that dominance?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
