Greatest Season That Was, Episode 3 – Alec Stewart: Back to the 1999 World Cup, this is the sorry story of the home team. England’s captain of the day, Alec Stewart was our forthright guest, who didn’t miss targeting what went wrong when they failed to make it out of the group – famously, eliminated before the official tournament song was officially released. With Dan Brettig (The Age) and Shannon Gill (Code Sports).
