The Penguin Podcast: The Football Ramble

The foursome behind the UK’s biggest independent sports podcast take over the Penguin studio to talk about their debut book, The Football Ramble

Marcus, Luke, Pete and Jim discuss football’s early beginnings; dissect the ‘media machine’ behind the modern game; marvel at the gargantuan amounts of money at stake and conclude that grassroots football is perhaps ultimately more enjoyable than the professional game. They also bring in various mementos including a pair of old boots, a Soviet hat and a ticket stub (complete with pie stain).
