Paul and Glenn are back for another fun and action packed episode. This week we continue our theme of underrated sportspeople with a focus on the men and talk about some well known sportsmen who often did not get the credit they deserved despite their achievements in the sporting arena. Some of who we discuss include
- An Aussie hockey player who brought an end with his golden goal at the 2004 Olympics to break one the great hoodoos in Australian sport.
- An IndyCar driver who won two IndyCar championships and the prestigious Indy500, however not many Aussies would have heard of him.
- Alexander Volkanovski
- Scottie Pippen and Luc Longley
- Andy Bichel
- NRL players eg, Hazem El Masri, Alex Johnson, Shaun Timmins, Alan Tongue
- Nathan Hindmarsh and Luke Burt
- Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka
- Golfers David Graham Zac Johnson and Gene Saracen
- Rubens Barrichello and Nico Rosberg
- Joe Rokococko
