This week, former Stoke City, Chelsea, Everton and Bosnia‑Herzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begović submits three stories from his career. Did Stoke manager Tony Pulis really invite Begović to date his daughter with the hope that he might one day become his son‑in‑law? Did Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers secretly call him into an office at Anfield to discuss a transfer immediately after a Premier League match? Or did Rafa Benítez shorten a proposed Everton contract because he was convinced Begović enjoyed too many nights out? Armed with photographs, football knowledge and plenty of confidence, Karel and Anita dissect every detail before Begović returns to reveal the truth.
