10:21Now PlayingThe most senior Catholic in England and Wales was halfway up the M1, on his way to visit a friend in Birmingham, when a journalist called asking him about the death of the pope.
"I couldn't believe it," Cardinal Vincent Nichols told Sky's Rachel Venables.
"It was a real shock - after seeing Francis on the TV only yesterday."
The Archbishop fondly recalls how a conversation about a holy shrine in Argentina soon turned to a chat about the Pope's favourite football team.
