Football Ruined My Life
Football Ruined My Life is the new podcast about old football. Colin Shindler, author of the best selling Manchester United Ruined My Life, joins with the distinguished football journalist Patrick Barclay and the Super Agent Jon Holmes (think Gary Lineker, Peter Shilton, Tony Woodcock etc.) to talk about football as it used to be in the days before the invention of the Premier League. The podcast views those days fondly - though not uncritically - in comparison to today's game, which it views critically though not unfondly. We welcome everyone who wants to remember Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Charlton, Brian Clough and Bill Shankly and the days when you went to a Football League ground to watch your football and didn't wait for it to arrive on television. Nostalgic? Yes. Well informed? Certainly. But above all, it glories in the football of our youth when the game seemed charmingly innocent, full of skillful, good hearted, kindly men like Norman Hunter, Ron Harris and Peter Storey. Join us every week for a romp through the 1960s, 70s and 80s that will warm you like a cup of scalding hot Bovril. Produced by Paul Kobrak. Contact the team at footballruinedmylife@gmail.com
- 53 - 52. Mavericks
In this episode, the panel is talking about the maverick. Not the old tv series of the same name starring James Garner but the flair players who didn’t necessarily fit into the team ethic. Think Stan Bowles, Frank Worthington, Charlie George, Tony Currie and Rodney Marsh to name but five. How weird that they were all playing at the end of the 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Why were there so many mavericks then? Were there none before and none since then? The Brains Trust scratches its collective head and suggests some possible answers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 - 52 - 51. 1974
In the second of our occasional podcasts about specific years, we are looking at 1974 when Jon Holmes, Paddy Barclay and Colin Shindler were all in their early, mid or medium late 20s. It’s the year that began with power shortages due to a miners’ strike and the imposition of the three day week. Inflation was running at nearly 18% and of course ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest. In football, Leeds won the League and Liverpool won the Cup after which both their managers left. Brian Clough lasted just 44 days as manager of Leeds United and Harold Wilson won two general elections in the same year but for Colin, the greatest moment of that momentous year was being at Old Trafford to watch Denis Law backheel Manchester United into the Second Division. What were your memories of 1974? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 19 Apr 2024 - 51 - 50. The One With Delia
For our 50th edition, we’ve cooked up a very special episode – not only have we taken to the road (to the very farthest corner of East Anglia) but we’ve sourced the author of the Complete Illustrated Cookery Course. The panel is extremely well fed for their trouble by one of the owners of Norwich City, who is the only football director to publish over 1400 mouth-watering recipes. For a thoroughly satisfying gluten free edition of Football Ruined My Life try the new improved Delia Smith episode. Here’s one we made earlier with lots of delicious chocolate covered football chat.

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 - 50 - 49. Centre Halves
This is the episode about those big lads with heads squashed flat and brains curdled into early onset dementia by the constant heading of old fashioned leather footballs that weighed the same as a cannonball after it had been soaked by rain and coated in mud. From the time that Herbert Chapman withdrew the middle of the half backs to play between the two full backs we always recognised the centre half as the bulwark of the defence. Paddy Barclay, Jon Holmes and Colin Shindler discuss the way in which these immobile centre halves became more sophisticated until we got the emergence of the skilful and mobile central defender who can now attack and defend with equal facility.

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 - 49 - 48. Our Second Postbag
The Easter special podcast sees the Football Ruined My Life panel fielding another round of questions, observations and suggestions from their listeners. Listeners who are quick to seize their own chance to comment on yesterday’s football and how it evokes such strong memories of their younger days as supporters. The letters are by turn critical, laudatory, amusing and perceptive. The panellists in turn are quick to proffer thanks to the writers, even those who take pleasure in correcting their fallible memories, and gratitude for their suggestions for future podcasts.

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 - 48 - 47. The One With The Baron
We are joined this week by Baron Grade of Yarmouth, previously Michael Grade, who has, at various times, been Controller of BBC1, Chairman of ITV and Chief Executive of Channel 4. However for all the company directorships and his elevation to the House of Lords we meet on equal footing as football fans because his admirably steadfast passion down the years has been for Charlton Athletic FC. Amongst a host of amusing and revealing anecdotes, he tells us about how he orchestrated the infamous Snatch of the Day when clever little ITV under his skilful guidance nipped the ball off the giant lumbering centre half that was the BBC. It’s hard to imagine anyone better qualified than Michael to talk about football and television. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 22 Mar 2024 - 47 - 46. The North East
The North East of England has traditionally been referred to as "the hotbed of soccer". Yet compared to teams from Lancashire for example, Newcastle United, Sunderland and Middlesbrough have won very little in the way of trophies for decades. Middlesbrough won the League Cup in 2004, Sunderland won the FA Cup in 1973 and Newcastle won the Inter Cities Fairs Cup in 1969. Since then... nothing. Why then do football writers and supporters have such a respect for those teams? Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Paddy Barclay explore what’s so special about football in the North East.

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 - 46 - 45. The One With Mike Ingham
He was the third in the distinguished line of BBC Chief Football Correspondents and the first not be called Brian (as in Moore and Bryon Butler). His attractive voice gave us fluent commentaries from football grounds all over the world. Within months of doing his first commentary he was looking at 39 dead bodies in the Heysel Stadium. Mike Ingham joins Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Paddy Barclay for a look at the football he watched on our behalf and told us about in such clear and concise phrases.

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 - 45 - 44. Referees
He has frequently been referred to as “the bastard in the black”. One person with a whistle can arouse more enmity than the worst tackle on a football field. We feel that their only purpose is to give decisions in our favour. If they give a decision or worse a goal against us they are obviously stupid, blind and arguably corrupt. Now of course we have VAR, so we don’t have to worry about the referee’s decisions on the field any more. Or do we? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 01 Mar 2024 - 44 - 43. Family Values
Jon Holmes, Paddy Barclay and Colin Shindler explore the impact of nature and nurture on footballers from the same family. Is it genetic inheritance or environmental factors that accounts for the remarkable number of fraternal and father-son relationships in football over the decades? From the famous Charltons to the Schmeichels, from the forgotten Rowley brothers to the Redknapps, the Cloughs and the Summerbees the numerous examples of this fascinating phenomenon sends the conversation far and wide.

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 - 43 - 42. The One With Gordon Milne
Jon Holmes, Paddy Barclay and Colin Shindler meet Gordon Milne who had a fascinating and long career in football. He was a player with Tom Finney at Preston, a key part of Bill Shankly’s first great Liverpool side and later manager of Jimmy Hill's Coventry City and Jon’s beloved Leicester before moving abroad and winning three successive league titles for Besiktas in Turkey. Now approaching his 87th birthday Gordon Milne has total recall of that career and tells stories of players and clubs that have never been heard before. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 - 42 - 41. West Ham
West Ham won the Cup in 1964, the European Cup Winners Cup in 1965 and, according to Alf Garnett, the World Cup in 1966. They were a stylish, attractive and at the time a victorious team in those mid 1960s but they never kicked on and those three World Cup heroes eventually left Upton Park in a disappointing anti-climax, not having won anything else at club level. For years though they were everyone’s second favourite team. Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Patrick Barclay try to explain that anomaly and whether in the Premier League era the old West Ham traditions are still visible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 09 Feb 2024 - 41 - 40. The Midlands
Colin and Paddy attempt to make Jon feel better about the Midlands trophy desert. Looking at the Football League’s checkered history over the 135 years of its existence you can’t but be aware that the Midlands hasn’t pulled its weight. Half of the founder members of the Football League were Midlands clubs so there seems to be no logical reason why the whole of the Midlands has won so much less than those clubs from the one county of Lancashire. Jon attempts a spirited defence of his homeland. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 02 Feb 2024 - 40 - 39. Sportsmanship
Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Patrick Barclay wonder whether the concept of sportsmanship has vanished from the game. We all remember that famous photograph of Bobby Moore and Pele exchanging sweat soaked shirts after their titanic struggle in Guadalajara in the 1970 World Cup group match. It was iconic because it symbolised and personified the concept. But is that sort of behaviour still around in today’s world of football? Or are the three septuagenarians simply on an epic journey of nostalgia for the land of lost content where sportsmen behaved with a certain nobility? Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 - 39 - 38. Print journalism v TV journalism
Back in the dim and distant past of our youth, the coverage of football on television was minimal and we instinctively turned to local and national newspapers for the latest information and analysis on the game and our favourite club. In subsequent years, and particularly since the emergence of Sky Sports in 1992, we have all seen the decline of the print journalist and the seemingly unstoppable rise of the tv pundit. Patrick Barclay bemoans the decline, Jon Holmes revels in the power of TV and Colin Shindler tries to keep control of the game without recourse to VAR. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 - 38 - 37. Has Football Become Too Big For Its Boots? (And Remembering Franz Beckenbauer)
It’s everywhere. There’s at least one match on television every day, up to half a dozen over the weekend. The newspapers that used to devote a page to football now devote three. Radio5 Live exists, like Sky Sports, to broadcast football to the people who clearly want it. But, the panel ask themselves, is this media domination a good thing for the game and its supporters? If less is more would they really swap life in today's saturated market for the rationed football coverage in the media of their youth? And at the end of this episode, Jon, Paddy and Colin remember Franz Beckenbauer who died on 7th January 2024. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 12 Jan 2024 - 37 - 36. The One With Andy Hamilton (Chelsea)
Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Patrick Barclay are joined by a long-standing Chelsea fan – the writer and broadcaster Andy Hamilton – to discuss his lifetime of support since the late 1950s. He shares his frustration that some of the less attractive developments in modern football have significantly diminished his passion for the club although, like the panellists, he remains dedicated to the game itself.

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 - 36 - 35 The Postbag
As the first year of Football Ruined My Life draws to a close, the panel read out a selection of their favourite emails which have been received from listeners all over the world. They include trenchant observations on the panellists’ manifold failings as well as the writers’ childhood reminiscences and their reaction to the podcasts they’ve heard as well as suggestions for future subjects.

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 - 35 - 34. 1963
It was a most remarkable year. It started with the Big Freeze, ended with the assassination of President Kennedy and included the emergence of the Beatles and the Profumo Affair. On the football field (as soon as the ice melted in April) it was equally notable with Alf Ramsey’s first game in charge of England, Leicester City missing out on the Double (sorry, Jon), Manchester United winning the Cup but just avoiding relegation (sorry, Colin). And off the field, it the famous Eastham case which liberated players from the shackles of their clubs. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 22 Dec 2023 - 34 - 33. Administering The Game
The former Chairman of the FA, David Bernstein, joins Colin, Paddy and Jon for an honest discussion on the failings of governance in football. He tells of how his attempts at reform of the FA were constantly thwarted and how the FA lost any battle they tried to fight against the overwhelming power of the big clubs once they had divested themselves of the old Football League. The discussion ranges from the days of Alan Hardaker and the great figurehead for thirty years, Sir Stanley Rous, to today, when the FA’s influence over its own Premier League is so drastically reduced.

Fri, 15 Dec 2023 - 33 - 32. Retirement
It is the moment every footballer dreads – the day when he finally accepts that his career on the field is over. Jon tells Patrick and Colin that even those who have made a spectacular success of life after football like Gary Lineker can never recreate the joy of scoring a goal. Retirement is supposed to be much better for players these days because of the money they have earned during their careers and the plans put in place by their clubs. But is it? And what happened during retirement to those footballers from fifty or sixty years ago who had earned so little in their playing days? Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 - 32 - 31. The Second Tier
All three panellists are fans of clubs that have suffered the indignity of relegation from the Premier League in the 21st century. There is a fear that the ever widening gap with the Championship will see clubs doomed to wait indefinitely in the purgatory of the footballing equivalent of Siberia. Yet Manchester City and Fulham bounced back to the top tier the following season and Leicester look as if they might be promoted spectacularly early this season. Jon, Patrick and Colin discuss their feelings about life in the Championship and whether it is different from life in the old Second Division. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 - 31 - 30. The One With Ian McShane (on Manchester United)
Any devoted watcher of the BBC Television series Lovejoy would have noticed the East Anglian antiques dealer’s ubiquitous Manchester United coffee mug and Manchester United travel bag. The actor who played Lovejoy, Ian McShane was the son of the Manchester United outside left Harry McShane who won a League Championship medal at Old Trafford in the 1951-2 season. In this podcast Ian McShane explains his long commitment to Manchester United and his friendship with Alex Ferguson and many of the United players since the days of the Busby Babes.

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 - 30 - 29. It's A Rich Man's World
We all know what it’s like to have too little of it and though it’s probably not anything that most of us have experienced we can understand that having too much money doesn’t always lead straight to Happiness. At the top of the pyramid, football is drowning in the stuff, at the bottom too many clubs are struggling to keep their heads above the financial waters that are closing in. Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Patrick Barclay discuss how the game got into this mess and what, if anything, can be done about it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 17 Nov 2023 - 29 - 28. Goalscorers
When we watch football as youngsters it is the goals that catch our eye, not the vital defensive midfielders or the manager’s clever/stupid substitutions. A Gary Lineker tap in is less spectacular than a Bobby Charlton thunderbolt but in a vital 1-0 victory it counts for as much. Colin Shindler, Jon Holmes and Patrick Barclay discuss the scorers of great goals and great goalscorers from Ted Drake and Dixie Dean to Harry Kane and Lionel Messi. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 - 28 - 27 The One with David Hamilton (on Fulham FC)
He's been a disc jockey since the early days of Elvis. He's been a Fulham fan since the days of Johnny Haynes and for many years was the voice of the club. Special guest David Hamilton joins the panel to offer his recollections of his life at Craven Cottage. His unwavering support for his club mirrors so many of Football Ruined My Life listeners in that his love of Fulham FC is never affected by their success (or lack of it) on the field. A true Fulham obsessive and as you would expect from such a top broadcaster and a wonderful raconteur. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 03 Nov 2023 - 27 - 26. Scotland (& a brief tribute to Sir Bobby Charlton)
Time was when there was scarcely an English top flight team without a few influential Scotsmen in it. Can you imagine Liverpool in the 1980s without Hansen, Souness and Dalglish, Manchester United’s 1960s team without Denis Law and Paddy Crerand or Revie’s Leeds United without Bremner, Jordan, McQueen, Lorimer and Eddie Gray? There are almost no Scottish players in the English Premier League, barely a handful in the Scottish Premier League and the crowds are embarrassingly small outside of Celtic and Rangers. What on earth has gone wrong with football in Scotland? Patrick Barclay helps Colin Shindler and Jon Holmes to come up with some answers. At the end of the episode Colin, Jon and Patrick also briefly remember Sir Bobby Charlton Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Fri, 27 Oct 2023 - 26 - 25. Fiction and Football
If you’re an actor or a writer and you love football, you may think that being involved in a movie or television series about football would be, in the unmistakable words of the great German forward Harry Kane, “a dream come true”. However, from ‘United!’, the 1965 BBC tv soap opera, to ‘Ted Lasso’, the current American comedy drama hit show about AFC Richmond, the many attempts to persuade the football audience to watch a drama series about the game have proved only occasionally successful. The usual panellists are joined by actors Ian McShane and George Layton to discuss the promotion and relegation of football in novels and on the film or television screen.

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 - 23 - 22. Grounds - Old & New
Simon Inglis, author of books on the football grounds of Great Britain and the football grounds of Europe, joins the team to give his expert knowledge of the building of some of football's most iconic grounds - Highbury, Maine Road, Old Trafford, Craven Cottage, Filbert Street etc. Do the fans revel in the creature comforts of the new stadiums or do they still hanker for the ramshackle tumbledown grounds of their youth with their cosy sense of community?

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 - 22 - 21. League Domination
Between 1959 and 1972 ten different clubs won the English First Division. What has happened to that competitiveness?

Fri, 15 Sep 2023 - 20 - 19. Sir Alf
He remains the only England manager to have won the men's World Cup. The FA sacked him when he was 54 and apart from a brief caretaker stint at Birmingham City his career was over.

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 - 18 - 17. Derby Games
The one fixture in a season that everyone is desperate to win. Is the religious origins of the Glasgow rivalry apparent elsewhere? Does the Merseyside derby deserve the title “The Friendly Derby”?

Fri, 25 Aug 2023 - 17 - 16. Passion on the Sidelines
Who can forget Jurgen Klopp stretched out full length on his stomach as he protested a refereeing decision in the manner of an enraged toddler? Followed of course by a goal, producing a triumphant fist pump, a race along the touchline and almost immediately, a pulled hamstring - sent directly one would imagine by his Mummy and Daddy telling him not to be such a silly boy. But of course, he was demonstrating passion which is obviously a Good Thing. We love passionate managers and players. Don’t we? But when is passion good and when is it bad? The team investigates.

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 - 16 - 15. Brian Clough
He was the one manager to whom nobody was indifferent. Love him or loathe him Brian Clough was a titan amongst English managers.

Football Ruined My Life is the new podcast about old football. Colin Shindler, author of the best selling Manchester United Ruined My Life, joins with the distinguished football journalist Patrick Barclay and the Super Agent Jon Holmes (think Gary Lineker, Peter Shilton, Tony Woodcock etc.) to talk about football as it used to be in the days before the invention of the Premier League. The podcast views those days fondly - though not uncritically - in comparison to today's game, which it views critically though not unfondly. We welcome everyone who wants to remember Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Charlton, Brian Clough and Bill Shankly and the days when you went to a Football League ground to watch your football and didn't wait for it to arrive on television. Nostalgic? Yes. Well informed? Certainly. But above all, it glories in the football of our youth when the game seemed charmingly innocent, full of skilful, good hearted, kindly men like Norman Hunter, Ron Harris and Peter Storey.
