The laughs on this are incredible, class to hear it from 2 well known footballers from the area and the new non league of their own pods are just as good too!
These pods get better and better. New non league of their own shows are class. 👊🏻
Sometimes very good sometimes very bad 🤷🏻♂️ does often just turn into them reading out the players Wikipedia and not really getting any insight that isn’t easily found with a quick google search
Top listen for anyone who likes football at any level.

Decent when Jordan loses himself reminiscing about his university days
