While this podcast is full of interesting facts to back up the opinions what I love about it is that it takes you to the heart of what football is really about. Taking you away from the everyday and to the history, romance and dreams of fans. It fills in the gaps on the things you thought you knew and brings new stories that you never knew existed. The minnows are given equal opportunities to be great.
A journey through the forgotten, overlooked and misunderstood football teams of yesteryear. Every episode re-examines something from the past — an event, a player or coach, a tactic — and asks whether a football team can be considered a truly great.
