Forgotten Stories of Football

The best football stories you’ve probably never heard before, written by some of the world’s leading sports journalists. Spanning over 100 years of sporting history from across the footballing planet, the stories are narrated by leading actors and feature rich sound design and specially composed music
Hit & miss

Some of the stories are relatively unknown & interesting for that. No objection to the ads but try to put them somewhere where it doesn’t interrupt the flow of the story.
Excellent series

I miss regular updates on this series. Important show for the millennials to listen to. Loved the two parter on Jim McClean.
Ad Nauseam

Sort the ads, lads - or a least sort the timing. Good pod otherwise. Nice length and interesting football nooks.
Wake up!

Most importantly - there’s no need to repeat the intro 3 or 4 times, we are not idiots!! Also Don’t put the ads in stupid places. Content itself is really interesting, just clear up the presentation.
Good stories but not well put together

I find some of the stories genuinely interesting but repeating the title of the podcast every few minutes is irritating. There are so many far longer podcasts which don’t have the breaks that this does in 10-15 minutes. Really off putting.
Please stop with the ads and title intro every 3 mins

Some really interesting stories, but flow of podcast is ruined by the constant interruptions. We know what we are listening to, you don’t need to give us an ad *for the podcast we are already listening to* every 3/4 mins. Please change this or I for one will stop listening and I think you’ll lose other listeners too based on the other comments!
Interesting stories, but...

How ironic that ‘forgotten stories of football’ feel the need to remind you what you’re listening to every 4 minutes 😴 We’re already listening to it, you don’t need to advertise it. The accents are just simply unnecessary. Other than that it’s a good listen for any football fans
Great content but laughable amount of ads
01/07/2020
Really enjoy the stories and I don’t agree with the criticism of most of the production/VO but the sheer amount of interruptions in the form of ads and stings, etc absolutely kills to flow. I thought there was a limit to the proportion of a show that can be ads? Some of these it seems close to 20%. Shame because otherwise it’s really good.
Abysmal

Pretty shocking this has the Guardian's name on it | Writing doesn't even approach journalism - "RUMOUR HAS IT...." | Storytelling is all over the place, bitty and schizophrenic | atempts at accents are laughable | Production is amateurish
Too many adverts
10/07/2020
A 11 minute podcast that could of been whittled down to 5 minutes if no adverts. Subject matter was interesting but I won’t be returning to this podcast. The accents used to re-enact the story were horrendous
