Lockdown Football Nostalgia and West Ham Season Reviews
Michael Marden reveals he's been watching West Ham season reviews from the early '90s during lockdown, discovering his childhood memories don't match reality. He's shocked to find that Ludwig McKluskie wasn't the goalkeeping hero he remembered, and that the team lost far more than his young mind recalled. The hosts discuss how they're filling the football void, with Josh praising Gary Neville's Soccer Box as essential viewing despite the lack of live sport.
- Michael has been watching West Ham season reviews starting from 1992, obtained through YouTube and personal archives
- His childhood hero Ludwig McKluskie turns out to have been 'useless' and conceded 'joke goals'
- Josh is paying to keep Sky Sports specifically to watch Gary Neville's Soccer Box during lockdown
- The worst Soccer Box episode featured Sol Campbell, with the limitation being no international clips available
" I never remember us really losing. We finished second in the league that first season in what is now the championship. I don't remember us ever losing. We lose every week. "
The Most '90s Football Teams and Deep Cuts
The hosts share listener submissions for the most quintessentially '90s football teams, celebrating obscure players and bizarre trivia. Nick Briggs's team includes three Bulgarians and features players chosen for wonderfully specific reasons like wearing sweatbands, being colorblind with orange balls, and taking the tube home in full kit. The discussion reveals forgotten gems like Lars Bohinen's colorblindness issue and Boncho Gunchev's post-match public transport journey.
- Nick Briggs's '90s XI includes Eric Young (for his sweatband) and Clayton Blackmore (underrated utility man)
- Lars Bohinen couldn't play with an orange ball because he was colorblind - specifically struggled with red against green
- Boncho Gunchev allegedly got the train after an Ipswich game in London while still wearing his full kit
- The 1993-94 Merlin sticker book's 'Rising Stars' page featured eight players including Ian Selley, Steve Froggatt, and Neil Bartlett - none achieved significant success
" I didn't plan on having three Bulgarians in the team but there you go "
