Marcus Mumford on "Prizefighter", AFC Wimbledon & England's World Cup Dreams

SUBSCRIBE TO MEN IN BLAZERS ON YOUTUBE! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWgXewMHxlPkP5FkxoZvKQ?sub_confirmation=1 Marcus Mumford joins Rog for a deeply personal conversation about football, family, and hope. The Mumford & Sons frontman discusses his lifelong love of AFC Wimbledon — from the trauma of the club’s relocation to the fan-led rebirth that carried them from the ninth tier back to League One. He relives missing David Beckham’s halfway-line wondergoal while in the stadium, and reflects on growing up a Manchester United fan. They also dive into England’s World Cup hopes, the pressure of wearing the Three Lions, and why it all hinges on Jude Bellingham. Come see us LIVE in Houston!
