Andy Hamilton is a Football God: "Commentators are brilliant, they’re pure Harry Enfield”

The Football Gods

This week’s Football God is British comedian, game-show panellist, comedy screenwriter, television director, radio dramatist, and novelist Andy Hamilton. Best known for writing the BBC Radio 4 comedy series Old Harry's Game (in which he plays an amusing version of Satan himself), and the BBC One sitcom Outnumbered, about a middle-class family with three unruly children. Andy’s book, Blue Was The Colour is a witty, wise and charming assessment of modern football as a Chelsea fan.

The Football Gods gives famous faces the ultimate footballing role: total power over the beautiful game. Listen as they shape football to their whim and ultimately become The Football Gods. Join our hosts - broadcaster Kate Mason and journalist Tim Spiers - as we ponder the all-important questions such as...“Which player would you send to hell?”, “What flavour pie would be considered the food of the Gods?” and “Which game would you watch forever?”

Given the power, how would you change football?
