Sam Allardyce on losing the England job

Sam Allardyce opens up to Chris Kamara and Ben Shephard about what it was like to lose the England job after one match and 67 days in charge.

His time in the role ended following a Daily Telegraph investigation that claimed he offered advice on how to "get around" rules on player transfers.

The FA said Allardyce's conduct "was inappropriate" and he apologised, adding "entrapment had won".

Big Sam discussed his hurt at being ousted in 2016, experiencing depression and how he rediscovered his love for the game at Crystal Palace.
