  • A Brilliant Football History Podcast

    Every episode dives into a great side from football history and asks the question we all argue about: how great were they, really?

    The hosts know their stuff, but it never feels dry or academic. It’s full of brilliant stories, forgotten players, tactical details, and those brilliant rabbit holes you end up Googling. Some episodes confirm what you already believe. Others completely change your mind.

    It feels like the best kind of football conversation — the one that starts in the pub, gets heat... more

  • What football is really about!!!!

    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.
