At just 17 years and eight months, Mamadou Sakho became Paris Saint Germain - and Ligue 1’s - youngest ever captain. A move to Liverpool followed where he would earn the nickname ‘The Killer’. Now plying his trade in Tbilisi, Georgia while managing a successful property business, Sakho joins John Obi Mikel to look back on his nomadic career.

The no-nonsense defender gives his verdict on Steven Gerrard’s infamous slip. Did it cost Liverpool the title? Who was his toughest opponent and what is Zlatan Ibrahimovic like as a team-mate? Sakho also has a message for Kylian Mbappé and outlines why he’s never, EVER allowed to utter the words ‘Manchester United.’ Don’t miss it.
