134. How Football Shaped Mostar
We're joined by Ekrem Huskic to discuss the role of football in Mostar, a city in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina which has an incredibly rich history but an ultimately tragic story.
Football first came to Mostar in the late 1800s and almost immediately became dominated by two clubs - Zrinjski Mostar and Velež Mostar.
During the Yugoslav and Bosnian Wars, football clubs and supporters played a unique role in the conflicts and genocides which took place. This was no different in Mostar, where both clubs are now representative of the ethnic and religious divisions which scarred Bosnia and Herzegovina.

To create something bigger than football from the ashes of your club which has twice been driven to bankruptcy shows a desire that many football clubs dream of.

The difference between the former club and the latest iteration of Lleida CF is that the power of controlling and representing the club now belongs to the supporters.

The World Cup is many things. In the same way that the tournament is often used by regimes and governments for legitimisation and to sportswash, the World Cup also has a strong heritage of protest and resistance.
There is no greater platform to spread your message and promote your cause, and at World Cup 2026, protest has played a central role.

With Celso's latest NACLA article in mind, we compare this activism with responses to World Cup 2026 and our thoughts on how resistance may play out at this tournament.

Though it may seem and be innocent, anger often directed at so-called 'football tourists' is a facade for racism and xenophobia.
We unpack all the issues surrounding problematic terminology such as this and how it is impacted by the erosion of our connection to our football clubs. We do this through the lens of Hijab's experiences of supporting Manchester United while growing up in Pakistan.

102. Saving the Accies
We're joined by Rob Edwards, founder and CEO of Morley Sports Management and the new owner of Hamilton Academical Football Club.
Hamilton Accies and their supporters have been through the ringer over the last few years. The way the club was ran by the previous ownership groups was amateurish, and little infrastructure was put in place to show that the club was in any way modern.
Last year, Hamilton Accies made the decision to move away from Hamilton and instead play in Broadwood, a stadium in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire. With tensions increasing with supporters' and an owner who was becoming aggressively hostile towards the existense of the club, it was announced that Hamilton were hours away from liquidation.
Rob and MSM stepped in officially in January 2026, but it's been far from smooth sailing, and the existence of Hamilton Accies still very much hangs in the balance.

For our last podcast of 2025, we're joined by co-founder of the Kernow Football Alliance, Jason Heaton.
Like other Celtic Nations who have formed national teams, Kernow are the representative national team of Cornwall.
Sadly though, unlike Alba, Ellan Vannin or other language-centred nations, Kernow aren't able to use their language as a central philosophy to their football.

98. More Than A Shirt
We're joined by author and journalist Joey D'Urso to talk about the relationship between football kits, power, marketing and geopolitics through the lens of his recently published book.
With huge commercial value and unlimited marketing opportunities, football kits have become the most popular way for brands to gain exposure to new audiences and demographics.
But football kits often become central to other issues surrounding money and power, and sometimes not all is as it seems.

These different identities and the mixture of cultures, beliefs and values often manifest themselves on the football terraces of Upper Silesia.

We're joined once again by Steven Torres, president of ANCCIF, to talk about his latest project - piecing together the scattered history of the U.S. representative clubs who competed at the Champions Cup before 1990.
The Champions Cup is the equivalent of the Champions League for CONCACAF.
But, unlike UEFA's premier competition, the early history of the competition is incomplete and lacking in key details.
Steven recently published a document accounting for some of these knowledge gaps, and addresses the lack of information by investigating and discovering it himself.

We're joined by Bundesliga journalist, author and founder of the Dortmund Fan Club London Ben McFadyean to discuss fan friendships and how this plays into fan identity.
Most fan friendships are the alliances we see formed by different ultras groups. But fan friendships in football extend well beyond our most zealous fans, and the connections we make with each other are often underappreciated.
However, each connections has its reason, and those reasons are tied to our identities as football fans.

Growing up in the USA, Ryan had to pick his club - and so his experience of supporting football becomes more of a fandom as opposed to being surrounded by any kind of football culture.
We talk about the reasons why we support who we do, as well as the concept of 'fan authenticity' and the prerequisites to calling yourself a 'true' supporter of a club.

Many people aren't aware of the deep opposition and hurt football supporters in Inverness felt when it was proposed that the cities two biggest clubs, Thistle and Caledonian, should merge to join the Scottish Football League. Sadly, the decision was pushed through and fans were left without clubs to support, refusing to follow the newly created club in Inverness.
But now, one of those clubs have returned.

73. Bursaspor
We're joined by Uygar, Cafer and Fatih, three men from Bursa, to tell us the unique story of the rise, fall and revival of their club - Bursaspor.
In 2010, Bursaspor became only the second club not from Istanbul to win the Turkish Süper Lig title, a feat accomplished by fielding local players brought through their academy and with the fanatical drive of a united Bursa behind them.
Since then though, it's been far from plain sailing.
The club made headlines this season when, while in the 4th tier, they attracted a crowd of 45,000 fans to their ground, also famous for it's design which replicates a crocodile.
This episode dives into everything Bursaspor - from the club history, fan culture and title success, to the mismanagement and beginning of the rise back to the top.

69. Pasión: The Fan-Owned Phoenix Clubs of Spain
We're joined once again by journalist and author Miguel Pereira to talk about the new subculture making waves in Spanish football and the cultural phenomenon that underpins it.
'Pasión' is a concept which encapsulates the expression of extravagant, unbridled joyn and loyalty which manifests itself on Spain's terraces. It is a cultural phenomenon, similar in concept to 'Saudade' in Portugal.
In Spain's 3rd and 4th tier, a new subculture of fan-owned phoenix clubs has swept across the country. The founders of these clubs embody Pasión in it's purest form, forming new clubs to carry forward an identity and set of values which rogue billionaire owners took from them.
We cover this with Miguel in full, through the lens of his latest book.

We're joined by Matt Oldroyd of Forza Garibaldi and general Forest busybody Dave Marples for a deep dive into one of England's biggest clubs - Nottingham Forest.
We cover the early days of Nottingham Forest, the club colours and identity, the 50s, and the club's downfall after their period of unprecedented success. We also discuss the Clough era and Forest's European Cups, of course.
Through the episode we explore the underlying thread of Forest's bohemian identity, both as an extension of the city and the pioneering innovations they brought to football.

60. Joe Fagan
We're joined by Finlay Stanley (aka AFCFinners) to talk about the life and legacy of Joe Fagan and how we remember football's overshadowed heroes.
Possibly one of football's most underappreciated figures, Joe Fagan famously won the treble with Liverpool in his first season, including the European Cup. However, his tenure as Liverpool manager was short lived, and he retreated from public life soon after. This is his story.

59. Our Stories and Our Songs
We're joined by John Williams, an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Leicester, to talk about the stories, myths and historic tales which make our game what it is today.
Storytelling plays a huge role within football, whether it's about the origin stories of the club your support or your grandad telling you about his favourite away day. As supporters, we create myths and idolise players in such a way that these stories take on a generational aspect.
John seeks to capture these sentiments in his latest book, which tells the history of football in Britain through a scrapbook-timeline of lesser-known stories and tales, each of which speak to the wider socio-economic and political landscapes of the contexts in which they exist.

58. Cósmico! The Inside Story of the New York Cosmos' Trip to Cuba
We're back!
Our fist episode of 2025 is an exclusive. For the first time, Steven Torres and Luis Yero sit down with Rory to tell the inside story of the New York Cosmos' trip to Cuba in 2015 and their roles in making this historic fixture come to fruition.
In December 2014, President Obama relaxed diplomatic relations with Cuba for the first time since the Cold War. Steven, our guest, jumped at the opportunity to send a football team there to compete in a friendly - the first time a soccer club from the US had visited Cuba since the 1970s.
From the first chaotic meeting in Jamaica to meeting Pelé, Steven and Luis orchestrated one of the most historic fixtures in US soccer history. This is the first time they've told their story.

56. Jack Kirby
This week we're joined by Kal Singh Dhindsa, the person who successfully ran a recent campaign to restore the grave of former Derby County player Jack Kirby.
Jack Kirby is best remembered as the player who, during a football tour of Germany in 1934, refused to give the Nazi salute, instead choosing to turn his back on it.
We talk with Kal about the relevance of footballers in defying fascism and racism today, Kal's work in other football restoration projects and how the stories of former footballers can be used to empower people and places.

55. Political Football
We're joined by Dr. Guy Burton and Dr. Francesco Belcastro, the hosts of The FootPol Podcast, for a discussion on what makes football political.
'Politics and football shouldn't mix' or 'Politics has nothing to do with football' are thrown around quite a lot, but the fact remains that politics and football do mix, and have always been intertwined.
This episodes picks apart some of the many ways in which politics and football interact with each other, while also talking about Francesco and Guy's experiences from podcasting.

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 - 34min - 52 - Belfast Celtic
52. Belfast Celtic
We're joined by Belfast Celtic Society board members Padraig Coyle, Frank Hennessey and Charles Tully Jr., son of Celtic legend Charles Patrick Tully, for a feature-length discussion on Belfast Celtic Football Club.
Belfast Celtic are arguably the most famous lost club from the island of Ireland. Existing during some of Ireland's most turbulent and violent periods of history, and being interwoven with the social, economic and political history of Belfast, Belfast Celtic were a club who represented their community and provided them a space to make their voices heard.
Tragically, they fell out of existence after leaving the IFA in 1949 following a controversial fight during a match.
In this episode, we discuss the power clubs like Belfast Celtic have in drawing people and their stories to them, the work that goes into preserving the memory of a football club and how people attach themselves to football clubs which they feel represented them in matters beyond football.

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 - 1h 28min - 51 - Edinburgh City
51. Edinburgh City
We're joined by Edinburgh City season ticket holder and supporters' club member Ally Moncrieff to talk about the club's interesting off-field activity over the last few years which is akin to a BBC soap opera.
In 2019, the owners of Edinburgh City circulated a marketing document with the hashtag #FCEdinburgh mysteriously plastered all over it.
Fast forward to 2022 and the club confirmed it had changed their name to FC Edinburgh to attract 'European interest'.
Coupled with a disastrous new stadium, financial catastrophe and a points deduction, its certainly been a rollercoaster for Edinburgh City fans over the last few years. As the club lurched from one catastrophe to another, Ally tells us how this impacted supporter identity and feeling towards the club during one of the lowest points of their history.

We're joined by the latest contributor to join the Football Heritage ranks, Jonee, to reminisce on the 2003 UEFA Cup Final between Celtic and Porto.

We're joined by Chris Lee and Flemming Christensen to tell the story of Denmark's (and potentially Europe's) oldest association football club.
Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, or KB, were a multi-sports organisation founded in 1876, with their football club being added in 1878. They were one of the early dominant forces in Danish football, but after falling from grace merged with Boldklubben 1903 to form FC København.We ask Flemming, who grew up supporting KB, what it was like being a part of Denmark's emerging ultras scene and if trading KB for FCK has been worth it.

41. The First Matildas: National or Representative?
We're joined by journalist and podcaster Sam Lewis to discuss the maelstrom of issues surrounding the 'first' Matildas team, a recent controversy which has reshaped Women's football in Australia.
Sam published an article at the beginning of July explaining the issues surrounding the 1975 side who played in what came to be recognised as the first Women's Asian Cup. Their recent recognition as the first Australian Women's National Team has been problematic and caused serious issues among the Matildas alumni.
Rory and Sam also discuss the difficulty in tracing historic records from Women's football and other common issues in studying one of football's most forgotten areas of history.
