Yesterday marked 15 years since the premature death of a European sporting icon, Severiano Ballesteros. Winningly handsome, possessed of an enigmatic charisma and a playing style that veered between exquisite and nonsensical, today’s show is all about Seve.

We chat to Lawrence Donegan about a golfer who lit up the game internationally and transformed the sport at the European level in more ways than one, and we hear from the man himself in an interview from 2007 with another smooth operator, Young Eoin.

We hope you enjoy it.
