Would you walk 500 miles just to be the man who walked 500 miles to see a footy match? Today’s guest would. In fact, he did! Join us as we talk with Tom Stoker, a Three Lions fan who marched from Manchester to Gelsenkirchen this past summer to witness England’s EURO 2024 opening match against Serbia at Arena AufSchalke (aka Veltins-Arena for sponsorship reasons). For more on Tom’s journey, check out his Instagram account.
