Jack Ross 110th Street Old Firm Facts

We all remember our first World Cup, and Adam's no different.


His was USA 94, and on this episode he's joined by 'USA 94: The World Cup That Changed The Game' author Matt Evans. Matt, who has also written about the likes of Graeme Souness, Jock Stein and Alessandro Del Piero for These Football Times and Nutmeg magazine, discusses that tournament's impact, the hype surrounding Colombia before the finals and tragedy that followed, interviewing the likes of Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi, Roberto Baggio memories, why USA 94 is underrated, writing about Dundee United legend Jim McLean and his favourite football books.


If you're one of the 8 million people who've seen it, you'll know theatre, film and TV actor Sandy Batchelor from a viral video in which he recorded a hilarious tour of his flat for the benefit of his letting agency. Dundee United fan Sandy tells Adam about the motivation for and aftermath of that video, Jack Ross' arrival, his delight at Dylan Levitt's Tannadice move, a bone he wants to pick with the writers of Succession regarding their Scottish football storyline, the state of Scotland's theatre scene, helping to tell the story of an important figure in Labour's history, joining BBC drama Shetland's sixth season and the advice he would give any actor.


Adam asks his guests to help him debunk a myth involving Euro 2022, puts questions to his guests from social media, reads excerpts from a classic review of a football book and puts Sandy's accent skills to the test with a challenge involving Kris Boyd.
