The Sweeper TOB Sports Media

After 18 months in the podcast wilderness, The Sweeper is back - with a new-look team and some big ambitions for the future. In the first episode since the relaunch, co-hosts Lee Wingate & Paul Watson round up all the football news & stories from across the continent this January - including the Maltese club president who wants to play, the Israeli team that won a competition without scoring & much more besides!

Lee talks to Matt Walker about five more of the countries on his spectacular continental football journey. This time Lithuania, Latvia, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan are up for discussion; including stories of a taxi ride with a former international, some Kim Jong-Un masks on show in Ireland, and a serious chat about whether the Baltic leagues might fold.

The Sweeper is back after a short EURO break! 

Lee & Tom talk about the tournament just gone, before pushing the boundaries of UEFA's leagues with a virtual visit to Greenland where we spoke to FA boss Finn Meinel, as well as prominent coach Tekle Ghebrelul. 

We then called in Richard D Pike (@RichDPike89) to discuss the brand new UEFA Europa Conference League, how it all works, and how it could affect European football going forward.

The next monthly dose of our series with Matt Walker, who talks to Lee Wingate about his mission to watch a football match in all 55 UEFA countries within one season.
