Jesse Lingard Comforts Tearful Francis

Trainspotting with Francis Bourgeois • Season 1 • Episode 2

About this episode

This time, Francis is smashing goals with England midfielder Jesse Lingard - and trying to convince him that a DMU has the same appeal as a match day crowd. Heading back to Jesse’s home turf of Warrington, and one of the busiest stations on the West Coast Main Line, it’s all aboard to get one of England’s biggest stars excited about trains. In a touching moment, Jesse gives Francis some kind words as he breaks down over what he sees as backlash from the trainspotting community for allegedly not truly being a spotter.
