    The week on The Sports Agents...

    Gabby and Mark Pougatch play darts with the world's best, teenage superstar Luke Littler and world number one Luke Humphries (3:49).

    Do they act like rivals or friends? How's it been for Littler becoming famous so young and so quickly? And what darts tips can they give us?

    Lawyer to the likes of David Beckham and Alex Ferguson, Nick Freeman, aka 'Mr Loophole', joined us (11:01) to tell some entertaining stories from court and discuss whether high-profile stars have it easier than others.

    Liverpool could lose their star player Mo Salah in the summer, as well as captain Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. We ask Paul Machin, founder of The Redmen TV, if alarm bells are ringing and what price the club should pay to keep them (16:59).

    And Mark's favourite golfer, Bryson DeChambeau, hits a hole in one... over a house! Could this set off a new trend in golf and beyond? (21:08)

  • Mo Salah's Liverpool future & defending Beckham with Mr Loophole
    Nov 28 2024

    As Liverpool finally broke their Real Madrid jinx in the Champions League we speak about the big news from their star, Mo Salah, who said he hasn't had a formal offer to stay past the summer (05:40).

    What price should Liverpool pay to keep him? How much can any sports team, franchise or organisation rely on just one player? And is Mo (and his abs!) redefining what it means to be a 32-year-old in the transfer market? We speak to Paul Machin, founder of the Liverpool fan channel, The Redmen TV (10:30).

    And we've chatted on the show before about the biggest stars possibly getting a leg up by having the best lawyers, well we chat to the lawyer to the stars, Nick Freeman, aka 'Mr Loophole'. He helps A-listers like Alex Ferguson and David Beckham get off driving and other charges (26:21).

    Plus, Mark reacts to his favourite golfer Bryson DeChambeau hitting a hole in one... over a house! (39:10)

    And Gabby tells us about the time she ran on a treadmill next to Paula Radcliffe.
