    From Rochdale to Maradona: The Story Behind Looking for Legends: 68

    What if your childhood dream was to meet every World Cup legend… and actually pull it off? In this episode, we dive into Amar Shah’s extraordinary journey behind his upcoming book Looking for Legends. From Rochdale to Rio, from Pelé to Zidane, Amar set out on an unbelievable quest to collect signatures from every World Cup-winning team since the 1970s — using official match balls as his canvas. We talk about the passion, the setbacks, the once-in-a-lifetime encounters, and the sheer madness of chasing football immortality. This isn’t just about the beautiful game — it’s about perseverance, nostalgia, and what it means to chase a dream that feels impossible… until it isn’t. Whether you’re a football romantic, a World Cup junkie, or just someone who loves an epic underdog story, this episode will leave you inspired.

    Catching Up with Bruno Martelotto, Former Selangor MPPJ & ATM FA Midfield Maestro :66

    It all started when a jersey collector from the United Kingdom discovered a now-defunct Malaysian football club shirt and the post went viral on Instagram. For Malaysian football fans, the name Selangor MPPJ will always resonate with a unique blend of history and nostalgia, for being the club side to win the prestigious Malaysia Cup title back in 2003. Similarly, fans will also look back at the ATM FA side that almost carved its own place in the history of that same competition back in 2012. For many, Bruno Martelotto is synonymous with those golden years. In this episode of our podcast, we had the incredible opportunity to catch up with the Argentine playmaker, reminiscing about his time lighting up Malaysian pitches and discovering what he's been up to since.

    SPECIAL GUEST - Zahin Asyraf, A Passionate Supporter of Borussia Dortmund From Malaysia: 64

    Growing up in the 90s, it was easy to look for fanbase who support English Premier League clubs. Whether its Manchester United or Liverpool, Aston Villa or Derby County, its always easy to find with just a throw of a stone. Despite of its rich history, the same can’t be said about the Germany’s Bundesliga. However, all that is about to change with the introduction of satellite television that was broadcasting live matches from Germany. Pretty soon, a generation of fans who loathed the so-called biggest league in the world, found an alternative in clubs such as Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen and in this episode’s case, Borussia Dortmund. On this episode, we got in touch with Zahin Asyraf as we wanted to learn more about his affiliation with the Die Schwarzgelben and what makes the club so enduring and special. We would like to wish our sincere gratitude to Zahin for taking his time to talk to us despite still feeling jetlag from the long travel from Dortmund back to Kuala Lumpur. We truly appreciate it!
