Jake sits down in the garden to record a freeform solo episode, talking about football... the one with the round ball where they use their feet. Falling in love with the sport during the 2002 World Cup, the rise and fall and rise of David Seaman, the 03/04 Arsenal Invincibles, reading British Football Weekly, Match of the Week on SBS. Falling out of love with the sport as money got it's hooks in deeper, Abramovich's Chelsea, the departure from the spiritual home in Highbury, Qatar being the first World Cup since 2002 where I didn't watch a single kick. Falling back in love with the sport via Luton Town and the Championship, the draw and repulsion of being involved with organised club football, the magic of the game still lingers. Quick thoughts on XFL 2023, Biathlon World Championships in Oberhof and more!
