Alex Hurst speaks to Spanish football expert Sid Lowe about Rafa Benitez in this podcast special. Sid for many football fans who've listened to podcasts he's featured on and read his work in a number of publications, is arguably the go to author on Spanish football. Based in Spain, Sid produces his own football podcast 'The Spanish Football Podcast' (well worth a listen). Sid has appeared many times on BT Sport as a pundit on British television as well as a pundit on Spanish TV. Basically he knows what he's on about. Sid talks to Alex for half an hour on Rafa's career in Spain and how his experiences in his home country may have shaped the manager we somehow have in charge. Many thanks to Sid for his time.
