Off The Underside are back again and this time they’re joined by one of Scottish journalism’s most distinctive voices – Bill Leckie. From covering World Cups and Champions League finals to chronicling the quirks of Scottish football’s lower leagues, Bill brings a career’s worth of insight, wit, and sharp observation to the mic.
We dive into his early days growing up in Paisley, his long-running column in The Scottish Sun, and the motivation behind his acclaimed book Penthouse and Pavement. Bill opens up about his transition into mental health advocacy, his adventures doing marathons and volcano climbs for charity, and the state of football journalism in the social media age.
We would like to thank Bill for his time and for being a terrific guest.
