New Platini Played For Kuwait episode recorded today, all about the best of our football travels in 23/24. Don't think I'm spoiling it by saying that I talked about Nastic v Málaga. I held it together and didn't cry - you will probably hear my voice fighting against crying though 🙈😂

NEW EPISODE: Matt and Marc's 23/24 Football Travels We looked back over our own football travels this past season, featuring a cup final scissor kick winner, a Basque stadium, a 122nd minute promotion-winning goal the best food in football. open.spotify.com/episode/5rXDh6…

Great fun recording this episode with Marc Harrison all about the highlights of our 2023/24 football travels. Go give it a listen!

Although I’m already well into the 24/25 pre-season, here’s my and Matt’s delayed look back on the football we watched in 23/24. Plenty (more) play-off chat, heartwarming tales of a popular comeback and a school football tournament, and Merthyr’s culinary gift to the world!

Great episode, guys.

So, here's our pilot for the podcast. We know there's work to be done, but feedback and suggestions are welcome :-) A massive thank you to Matt Harrison for being the first guest, we could have chatted for hours. open.spotify.com/episode/7ncDw1…

This is a great listen from my compatriots Matt Harrison and Marc Harrison. Nice to hear about Matt’s time in Bilbao and thanks for the lovely words about my book. Give it a listen! #AthleticClub 🔴⚪️

Think Marc Harrison and I both agreed at the time that perhaps the most fun we had putting together a Platini Played For Kuwait episode was when we did Sven's Lazio. Such a brilliant he led there. open.spotify.com/episode/51i7RC…

Rest in peace Sven 😔

After a summer hiatus, we will be back with a new erpisode in the coming week. For our first episode of the new season we are discussing 'Partnerships' - strike partnerships, defensive duos, footballing bromances etc. What is your favourite footballing partnership?

This one takes us right back to one of our early episodes when we talked Abramovich-era Chelsea with Gary Thacker and Matt Harrison chose this stunner from Oscar, scored on this day in 2012.

NEW EPISODE: Partnerships For our first episode of the new season, we take a look at some of our favourite footballing partnerships - bromances, strike partnerships, defensive duos and managerial double acts. Available wherever you get your pods from. open.spotify.com/episode/1FvYjI…

If you want some weekend listening, we recorded our first Platini Played For Kuwait episode of the new season this week 👍

Of course, let us know if we didn't mention your favourite footballing double act during the episode.

A fun episode looking at some of football’s most famous duos. With a Balon d’Or winner and multiple Champions League/European Cup and Premier League medals, it’s less niche than many episodes (although the strike pairings are making up for a lack of medals with goals) ⚽️👬🎧

On our latest episode, we finally got to have a chat about Brian Clough. We both agreed that Brian Clough v Don Revie on Granada news after his Leeds sacking is one of the finest pieces of television ever made. youtube.com/watch?v=iTiIdb…

During our chat about Brian Clough and Peter Taylor in our latest episode, we struggled to think of a better manager/assistant manager double act than Clough and Taylor. Who do you think are the best managerial duos?

If you haven't yet, give our latest episode a listen. New episode coming soon.
