Getting stuck in...again
It's been a while since we've reminisced about the good old days of sticker collecting in the 1990s, and with the release of Panini's brand-new anthology, it gave us the perfect excuse. Ash Rose welcomes back author and the oracle of sticker collecting Greg Landsdowne back on to the show and the pair go gooey-eyed over Panini once again. #Keepit90s

Ash Rose and Ed Chambers are joined by Stuart Steelyard as they chat through the US Cup, Umbro Cup and Le Tournoi as the three different flavours of international friendly fun.

A 90s football summer
What did we all do in those summers without a major tournament? We didn't even have social media or the internet to feed our football hunger. Ash Rose and Ed Chambers look back at what we did in the 90s and recall the long wait for transfer news, seeing new kits in Match and Shoot and relying on end of season videos to get their football fix. Plus chat on magazines, soccer schools and which footballer's father Ed once walked in on whilst bathing! Keep it 90s.

STILL Alive and Kicking EPS 13 - Paul Stewart and Darren Anderton
In a final look back at the 'class of 1992-93' and the famous Alive and Kicking advert, we speak to Tottenham duo Paul Stewart and Darren Anderton. The pair may not have featured in the poster for Sky's promotion, but were very much part of the advert thanks to some classic cheesy scenes of the era. Stewart talks through his role as well as his move to Liverpool that summer, while there's a look back at Anderton's rise to stardom after his move from Portsmouth. Keep it 90s!

Customer Reviews
Truly Alive and Kicking
I was born in the 80’s but the 90’s was where I truly fell in love with football. I’ve only recently discovered this podcast during the Covid-19 pandemic so after listening to the Juninho episode I went back and started listening from the first episode way back in August 2015 and it was quite funny to hear them talking so much about Juninho again!!!
I’m a big fan and I love all the guests that are on the show and the former footballers which have been part of the show have added some great perspective.
I’m also a Newcastle United fan that now lives in Kansas and if I had to sum up the 90’s for Newcastle United it would be “Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer” also the best home and away shirts we’ve ever had were the 1995/96 season. I still have my away shirt from that season and its in pretty good condition, I get a few questions from the Kansas locals when I’m out and about wearing it!!!
Stop Being So Jelly of Other 90s Pods
The show has potential and I love nostalgia premier league pods. But the host is CONSTANTLY trying to diss any other nostalgia EPL pods / 90s specific pods that it just makes him look petty. Good guests, but host kinda kills the show and holds it back from being what should be an easy 5 star review. He’s Just a bit too serious and emotional. Relax guy! The more nostalgia pods on here the better for all of the listeners and the content creators!
Remember when
As a fan who really started following the game in the 90's, this pod is a welcome addition to my play list. Fantastic panels jog memories, give context and wax lyrical about the beautiful game in the 90's. Great concept and well executed.
