  • PART TWO IS HERE NOW • Robbie Savage - Leight...
    Welsh international soccer player Robbie Savage phones a live radio call-in show. What follows is a heated lively debate between Robbie Savage and radio pundit and ex international Leighton James concerning current Wales manager John Toshack snubbing Savage returning to the Welsh squad.
    In my opinion, fair play to Savage - he should have been reinstated to the squad. What do you think?
    Part 2 of this debate will be added shortly.
