Finding a Football Club

This time on Finding a Football Club, Luke, Will and Jay lock horns over Bolton Wanderers, Burton Albion, and Cardiff City; three football clubs you’d be embarrassed to bring home to your parents.

Getting distracted, the lads guess how many celebrities Aaron Ramsey has accidentally sent to the pearly gates, discover Wigan Kebabs, attempt to link beer brands to football clubs, drool over Burton’s new home kit, and Jay learns that...

This week, Finding a Football Club goes full football hipster as Luke Oddie and returning guest Roberto Boni (yes, the one who would give his life for Ruben Neves) pick their Most Underrated Premier League XI (since 2005).

The unsung heroes. The B-sides. The ‘he was actually class if you watched him properly’.

Consider it a tribute to all those players who were never the poster boys, but absolutely should’ve been.

Along the way, the l...

This week on Finding a Football Club, tragedy strikes.

With Jay sadly (and definitely not temporarily) deceased, Luke and Will bravely soldier on, honouring his memory the only way they know how: mocking lower league football clubs.

As Barnsley vs Blackpool square off, the lads discuss Will’s love of plus-sized women, cover Luke ‘Fabrizio Romano’ Oddie’s insider gossip, play Jay’s fight-themed football quiz, explore Blackpool...

This week on Finding a Football Club, it’s a reunion: Luke, Jay, and the long-lost Will; who’s back from his European odyssey.

The gang are misty-eyed as they tackle the final three teams in League Two: Oldham Athletic, Tranmere Rovers and Walsall.

But, before League One beckons, the lads squeeze in some essential nonsense. 

They discuss Oldham’s first test tube baby, Tranmere’s connection to the Ku Klux Klan, the interna...

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie is joined by the podcast’s resident Italian stallion, Roberto Boni; making his ‘official’ debut after his previous booze-fuelled recording on Luke’s wedding night will never see the light of day.

Today, it’s all about building the Most Overrated Premier League XI.

Not bad players, not forgotten flops. These are players who have accolades, cult status and an army of fans… but w...

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie is joined by Jay Alexander-Ali, fresh from a romantic trip to Pisa. Mamma Mia!

Under the microscope this time are Port Vale: the only club named after a canal; Salford City: the Class of ’92’s vanity project; and Swindon Town: David Brent’s worst nightmare.  

Plus, along the way the lads visit the two closest stadiums in the UK, question if Jay’s new girlfriends gets turned on ...

This week on Finding a Football Club, the original co-host, Dan, returns from exile. No Jay. No Will. Just Luke and the guy who was axed for knowing nothing about football. 

On the chopping block this week, Barnet: the only club named after a haircut; Notts County: where the world’s first tarmac road was laid; and Newport County: home to one of the Village People.

Getting distracted, the lads debate which mascots could batter...

Things get feisty this week on Finding a Football Club as Luke and Jay down tools on the lower leagues for a chaotic deep dive into Manchester City’s best and worst XIs.

Jay, seemingly fresh off day release, fires off a string of argument-inducing takes: Celtic are a global superclub, David Silva is world-class, and Man City are a bigger club than Barcelona and Bayern Munich (yes, really).

Also in the mix, the duo take on the...

Back to the bread and butter on Finding a Football Club as Luke and Jay weigh up Harrogate Town and MK Dons in their hunt for a team to love.

One’s a quaint Yorkshire spa town with a football club nobody remembers exists. The other’s a loathed plastic franchise that’s football’s answer to identity theft. It's artisan chutney and National Trust memberships vs relocation, relocation, relocation.

Plus, Luke plays his innuendo-heavy phon...

This week on Finding a Football Club, it’s just Luke and Will. No Jay, no distractions, and no legal team present.

Before Will swans off around Europe, the lads go full fanboy and name their all-time best XIs. Will picks Arsenal. Luke picks Chelsea. Then, like true football snobs, they argue over who actually qualifies as world-class.

Then things turn toxic as Luke digs up Arsenal’s most embarrassing forgotten men, whilst Will retali...

This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke, Jay and Will throw three more teams into a ring and see which bloodied victor staggers out.  

In the firing line are the teenage pregnancy Holy Trinity: Fleetwood Town, Gillingham and Grimsby Town. 

Getting distracted, the lads question if Jamie Carragher was actually any good, guess some One Cap Wonders, unpack Jay’s unsettling obsession with Titus Bramble, talk trams, investigate a smutty...

In this episode of Finding a Football Club, Luke is joined by the new co-hosts Jay Alexander-Ali and Will Herron. The lads come out swinging as they size up Colchester United, Crewe Alexandra, and Doncaster Rovers in their increasingly desperate quest to find the perfect lower-league club to support. 

Along the way, the gang uncover Doncaster’s one-legged goalkeeper, settle the Drogba vs. Aguero debate, wonder if Aaron Ramsey is...

In the inaugural episode of Finding a Football Club, Luke Oddie and Dan Wade start the search for a new lower league football club to support. On the chopping block this week: Accrington Stanley, AFC Wimbledon, Barrow, Bradford City, Bromley, Carlisle United, Cheltenham Town, and Chesterfield.

But let’s be honest, it’s less about football and more about the important stuff. The lads remember Hayley Cropper, debate the true value...
