Max Rushden is a Football God: ‘The person I’m damning to hell is Ally McCoist, hear me out…’

The Football Gods

Max Rushden is the host for UEFA's Champions League and Europa League on Stan Sports in Australia. As Football God, Max shakes up transfer day, changes the football calendar, bans suits and sends a few officials to prison. He also explains why he’s sending one of football’s nicest men to hell…

Max is also the host of the world's biggest football podcast 'The Guardian Football Weekly'. Each Saturday and Sunday morning, Max hosts his own show, the award-winning 'The Warm Up' on TalkSport. In a previous life, he was an investigative journalist for the BBC. He also read Modern History at Oxford, but no one believes him. He currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.

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?
