Simply the best football podcast there is. And each story is so well researched and so well told. And it’s timeless. Your listening schedule isn’t dictated by a football Calander either. Loved every one!

I’ve listened to several episodes now. Just finished the Bill Nicholson 2 part episodes. So well done. Can’t overstate how much I enjoyed learning about him and hearing antidotes from Spurs record appearance holder, Steve Perrymen. Thank you
