  1. Why Footballers Eat THIS Before Kick-Off (It’s Not What You Think!)

    Why Footballers Eat THIS Before Kick-Off (It’s Not What You Think!)

    We’re back from FC United! ⚽️ In this episode of Kicking Back, we unpack a proper grassroots football day out - from the atmosphere and fans to what makes non-league football feel so raw, honest, and important. Proper football - no frills, all heart. ❤️ Things spiral quickly as we build a combined five-a-side team - but made entirely out of takeaway meals. Debates are had, questionable selections are justified, and certain iconic orders cause serious disagreement. 🍕🍔🔥 Millie then reveals the surprising pre-match meal footballers love (yes, really) as we chat routines, superstitions, and how food choices before kick-off are often a lot less glamorous than you’d expect. 🍽️⚽️ We round things off with an absolutely catastrophic game of Draw The Baller, where confidence is sky-high, artistic ability is rock-bottom, and guessing skills somehow get worse as the game goes on! 🎨😭  If you've enjoyed the show, please leave a review, and SUBSCRIBE for new episodes every week! KICKING BACK is the show where football meets nonsense - from comedian/Blackburn Rovers announcer Lewis Costello and Burnley FC Women's footballer Millie Chandarana. 👇 FOLLOW THE MADNESS 👇 🔗 Subscribe to Kicking Back 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@KickingBackPod?sub_confirmation=1 Kicking Back on TikTok 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@kickingbackpod Lewis Costello on X 👉 http://x.com/lewiscostello Millie Chandarana on X 👉 http://x.com/milliechands Lewis Costello on Instagram 👉 http://instagram.com/lewisblaizecostello Millie Chandarana on Instagram 👉 http://instagram.com/milliechand SUBSCRIBE TO THE OLBG YOUTUBE CHANNEL HERE 👇🧡🖤 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@OLBGuk?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW OLBG ON SOCIAL 🧡🖤 YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@OLBGuk?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/olbg/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/OLBGUK TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@olbguk X - https://x.com/OLBG
