Episode two of UTD Podcast - out now - involves the team sitting down with former striker Dimitar Berbatov in a Knightsbridge hotel, a typically classy setting for the elegant Bulgarian.

Berba talks us through his early life behind the Iron Curtain, the impact his father, also a footballer, had on his career and much more in a revealing 45-minute interview.

“He gets stuck into his past,” reveals Tasker. “His childhood, growing up and queuing to get bread with his family.

“But I think the best stuff was him talking in general, because he was so cool as a player and didn’t give much away. Our expectations were that he was going to be quiet and reserved.

“But to hear this sweary, kind of caricature, was great. He said that when he scored the hat-trick against Liverpool, he was dancing inside, but didn’t want to celebrate much because he wanted to keep it cool. It was interesting to hear him let that mask slip just a little bit.”
