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

! youtube.com/channel/UCwWgXewMHxlPkP5FkxoZvKQ

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.
