  • Great insight around Scottish football

    Very good interviews with some great characters of the Scottish game. Particularly loved Terry Christie and Andy Ritchie.

  • A really good listen

    Enjoyed hearing a different take on football rather than the usual big club focus. Nostalgia, old grounds, cup runs, relegations, poetry, music.

  • Football, beautifully drawn.

    If words were colour, this would be a masterpiece. Variety, humour, nostalgia, past traced to present and back again. Voices from the past, entwining town and club with Val McDermid; pride of an uncle in those closing words with Cathy Jamison. Crisp packets and Chris McQueer; Football as art and the emperor’s clothes of the football casual. And the best polished table in Scottish football. This is a work of art. Every episode. Treat yourself.
