Summary
Overview
This podcast episode is part of the Now That's What I Call Quickly Kevin specials, featuring hosts Chris Gull, Josh Widdicombe, and Michael Marden discussing football culture, memories, and conducting interviews with various guests including Tom Crane, Ian Pearce, and Matt Ford. The episode covers topics ranging from lockdown footballer choices to 90s football nostalgia, childhood games, player encounters, and memorable moments from the golden era of British football.
Lockdown and Footballer Choices
The hosts kick off the episode discussing who they'd choose to be in lockdown with from the 90s football era. The conversation reveals their preferences for personality types, with considerations ranging from high-energy players like Lee Sharpe to more relaxed choices like Pat Nevin. They settle on wanting someone steady rather than bouncing off the walls during extended isolation.
- Lee Sharpe would be too high-energy for lockdown, constantly trying to sneak out to find closed nightclubs
- Pat Nevin would be ideal for lockdown with good music selection and conversation
- Rufus Brevitt would be great for lockdown being very chilled even in adversity
Graham Sharp's BSB Visit Story
An incredible listener story recounts how Graham Sharp, Everton's star striker, came to watch the 1990 Skull Cup final at a fan's house because they had BSB satellite TV. The visit included Sharp bringing eight cans of Skull beer as a gift, and the story culminates in a childhood friendship rivalry when a Liverpool supporter claimed John Barnes had visited his house the next day.
- Listener's grandfather worked at Mersey Docks and arranged for Graham Sharp to watch the Skull Cup final at their house
- Sharp brought eight cans of Skull beer as a gift for the Skull Cup final viewing
- Andy Gray mentioned live on air that Graham Sharp was watching the match at a friend's house
- A friend later claimed John Barnes came to his house for dinner, which was likely fake news
" I queued up to get the photo signed and I thought I'd get the photo signed as well. So I said, can you sign this as well, please, Mr Clough? And he looked at it and he went, ah, I looked a lot better back then. So did you, you fat bastard. "
