5 Star Potential | A Football Manager Podcast

The U20s World Cup 2019 is well underway so we took the opportunity to take a look at some of the prospects currently showing off their wares on a global stage, albeit at youth level.

We also have time for some questions from you guys as well as a Curtdizzle quiz! 5 Star Potential is a Football Manager podcast brought to you b...
