Customer Reviews
Superb.
Incredibly done. Was engaged from start to finish, couldn’t stop listening.
Entertaining
Entertaining but sounds like a bunch of conspiracy theories put together. No actual facts or evidence to back up anything other than what was concluded by police.
Well Done
Not a football fan but am finding this very interesting.
