👏🏻

As an Irish Crewe fan I have always enjoyed listening to this podcast but that William Hondermarck episode was wonderful. Always kept an eye on him so I was excited to hear you talk about him originally but I’m now an even bigger fan. Of both him and the podcast. What a lovely lad! 💚 Looking forward to the rest of the season for both him and the podcast.

A genuine weekly highlight

Can't recommend this podcast highly enough.
The Football League deserves the best quality coverage and these guys certainly provide it.
Informative, innovative in terms of their grasp of modern statistical trends etc and passionate yet objective, they cover all three divisions superbly.
Required listening for anyone who follows a Football League club and particularly helpful for those based outside the UK looking to keep fully up to date with what's happening across the divisions.
