Chris Waddle, a former England International with 62 caps to his name, will be one of Radio Five Live's experts in Japan and Korea.
He brings a wealth of top-level footballing experience from his time at Newcastle, Spurs, Marseille and Sheffield Wednesday.
Waddle's silky skills illuminated the game for many years, and he bamboozled more than a few defenders in his time.
He clocked up almost 600 appearances in a 20-year professional career and his experience will make him one of the most enlightened pundits at this year's tournament.
