David Seaman is a Football God: "David Beckham copied my ponytail"

The Football Gods

Best known for his prowess between the goalposts, former Arsenal and England goalkeeper David Seaman now finds himself in the hot seat as this week’s Football God. Delving into everything from the offside rule, faith healers and the Arsène Wenger diet that changed him, David puts his stamp on the beautiful game.

His football career ran from 1981 to 2004, he is best known for his time playing for Arsenal but also played with Leeds, Peterborough, Birmingham, QPR and Manchester City. He won 75 caps for England, and is the country's second-most capped goalkeeper, after Peter Shilton. In 1997, he was awarded the MBE for services to football. These days you can find him behind the mic as host of his very own podcast Seaman Says or out doing a spot of all-night fishing.

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?
