Summary
Overview
This is the series finale of the Quickly Kevin podcast featuring hosts Chris Scull, Josh Widdicombe, and Michael Marden, along with guests Matt Ford and Tom Crane. They dive into listener correspondence about memorable 90s football moments, mascot fights, and obscure player stories before culminating in their traditional end-of-series 90s football quiz covering shirt sponsors, transfer trails, and specialist subjects.
Listener Correspondence: Do I Remember This Right?
The hosts tackle various listener queries about obscure 90s football moments. From Bruce Grobbelaar's flower protest when Liverpool was rumored to sign Alan Shearer, to debates about Ian Poynton's long throw technique at Oldham, to the bizarre memory of JCBs taking penalties against Hans Segers on the TV show 'You Bet'. They also confirm the legendary story about Leo Fortune-West being signed for Gillingham for just £5,000 following a fan whip-round.
- Bruce Grobbelaar placed flowers in the Liverpool goal when the club was rumored to be signing Alan Shearer from Southampton
- Leo Fortune-West was indeed signed by Gillingham for just £5,000 from Stevenage, making the fan whip-round story plausible
- Hans Segers allegedly took penalties against a JCB digger on the TV show 'You Bet'
- Ian Poynton at Oldham may have been banned from using goalkeeper gloves to enhance his long throw ability
" I met him as a child, Bruce Grubbler, at a forest match when we used to wait. Some kid next to me threw Monopoly money at him and he just clapped him. Open hand clouted him right round the end. He was wearing goalie gloves. Kids stuck in there, Sondaco still on his cheek. "
" Wolfie the wolf's mascot fighting the three little pigs at Bristol City reminded me of a time my dad handed me a few pounds in change to pop into a charity collector's bucket near the entrance. The reply was 'Wolfie's bail' - he'd been involved in a number of on and off the field incidents and needed to raise some funds so he could attend the Saturday match. "
Hans Segers' Tie Business Empire
The hosts discover that Wimbledon goalkeeper Hans Segers ran a novelty tie business during his playing days called 'Ties International.' The discussion reveals he designed club ties for major teams including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Barcelona, selling them for £9.99 each. The business apparently still has an active website, though accessing it triggers antivirus warnings, leading to speculation about Segers' various side hustles.
- Hans Segers ran a tie company called 'Ties International' during his Wimbledon playing days

- The ties sold for £9.99 each and were 'going like hotcakes'
- The Ties International website is still active but triggers antivirus warnings
" I've been in the tie business for six months now. The company is called Ties International. The main tie man is in Holland but I help with the designs and ideas for new ties. I've just done one for Wimbledon and a special crazy gang one too. "
