I enjoy Theo leading us through the recall of a varied cast of partisan protagonists. Football is an emotional game- we don’t participate first hand, but we feel every block and twist of fortune. It’s communal and yet intensely personal. And we love ever kick, suffer every adverse blow and win, lose or draw, come back for more. Keep ‘er lit Theo!
Absolutely brilliant , only tuned in a week ago after I heard Theo interviewed for another podcast about their first match they ever attended .
It’s enthralling and it brings back so many memorable moments from our own lives as a Football diehard . To include subbuteo goals , movie goals and so many we can’t recall and would love to talk about ourselves , it’s got everything to keep you hanging by the speaker or earphones .
I mention Backpass as the beloved magazine I still get a buzz to recei... more
