In this episode TAOF Podcast's Kev chats to Arsenal fan, comedian, London cab driver and lifelong friend Aaron Courtnell aka The Crazy Ginger Cabbie. Aaron speaks fondly about his time as a kid in Hainault alongside Kev and the football rivalry and banter that were a big part of growing up together.

On the football side of things, he talks about all things Arsenal, Mikel Arteta's micro management style, how The Gunners have performed in the Premier League this season, why Declan Rice more often than not struggles to perform when he plays against West Ham United as well as the huge London derby game on Sunday between the two clubs that has a major impact at both ends of the Premier League table.

On a personal front, Aaron also tells of how he became to be known as 'The Crazy Ginger Cabbie' across social media and the significant effect of losing his Mum had on his mental health and wellbeing.

As to be expected, it's a fruity and lively debate between two passionate footie fans, only here at @theaof_podcast !
