“It Started With a Kick” is hosted by renowned football writer and author Richard Foster. In each episode a well-known guest will delve into their memory bank to talk about the first football match they attended.  The focus is less about the match itself and more on all the circumstances surrounding that pivotal experience. The sights and sounds, the fans and the kits, the stadium and their companions on that all-important day when a lifetime love affair with football began.  WATCH THIS SHOW ON YOUTUBE:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvSsjD3e_NeWotY3GETtbWA FOLLOW THE SHOW ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/iswakpodcast/ FOLLOW THE SHOW ON X: https://twitter.com/ISWAKPodcast FOLLOW THE SHOW ON FACEBOOK:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558248779779
