84. Are footballers happy? Why do tears come when we are sad? Why do we love in tennis? Ft special guest expert Tony Adams.

Full Episode description

In this week’s show we answer four questions from Ted, Finn, Laurie and Louie with help from special guest expert Tony Adams. 

Tony Adams was England coach, played for decades for Arsenal, was the last person to score a goal at the old Wembley and has a statue of himself outside the Emirates stadium! 

Tony tells us how many football clubs there are in the world and how he felt when he played football. 

Next up we talk about the three kinds of tears and why sad tears help us to feel better in two different ways. 

We find out the origins of the use of the word LOVE in tennis to mean zero – it’s a good one!
