The 1 to 11 Podcast

Some players are loved because they are amongst the best players to ever play the game, whilst others have something else about them, whether it be a player who connects with the fans because they are a true local lad, they were capable of moments of pure delight but could go missing for games, or something indescribable. In any case, these are our picks for a team of Cult Players for the Premier League era --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

After going through the foreign players at the start of the Premier League, we now move on to the next phase, where the next phase of players emerge. The Premier League is emerging as a place for the best foreign talent, thanks to the like of Bergkamp and Cantona, but who is next to take on the league that likes to call itself the best in the world? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

In the early days of the Premier League, foreign players were not as common as they were now, so we look back at some of the best players who came from outside of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland...which we know isn't Britain, but were still quite common in the Premier League, more so than they are now in fact. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

Taking a break from our tales of the Premier League, we're looking back at Euro 2022, a tournament where the Lionesses finally broke the nearly 60 year duck of English tournament wins. Who were the stars of the tournament, who lived up to their pre-tournament reputations, and who came from nowhere to help break down barriers with the internet edge-lords who and make this the moment the women's game went mainstream. Expect some English and German names, but it's not a monopoly for the two finalists, with some wonderful players also making the final XI. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

With the new Premier League season just around the corner, we look at the best XI for last season, based on only being allowed one player from each team. Ederson, Diaz, Bernardo Silva or De Bruyne? Allison Van Dijk, Mane or Salah? Son or Kane? Maybe none of the above, we go with some more left field choices. Either way, who will make it into our Best XI? Who would you choose? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

What else was there to do on the hottest day in the UK ever, but discuss the best South Americans to have ever graced the Premier League. Will it be a collection of Brazilians and Argentinians, or will there be some Ururguayans or Paraguayans in the mix?

We're back for another series, and we're easing our way back into things, with hopefully a better sound and looking back at those who left a mark on us from World Cups of times gone past. The World Cup should be taking place right now, if they hadn't...y'know what, lets's not get sued, but instead we look back at certain players who made our summers from years gone by, that much better. Whether they were established players, who took their chance to cement their legacy, or people who came from nowhere, these are our favourite players who graced our game at the World Cup. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

Transfers are now their own business stream, taking up hours of new content, I mean just watch Sky Sports News. But not every transfer is successful, and some are worse than others. These are the ones that we remember, where careers were lost, managers were fired, and lots of money was lost. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

In this episode we discuss our favourite players from the 1990s who represented non-European nations. South America will be the main place we'll be picking from, with Brazil being World Cup winners in 1994 for instance, but the 1990s also saw the start of the rise of African players, and can any of them break into amongst some absolute favourite players. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

These are our favourite players in the 1990s, from across all leagues, who represented European nations. Whilst there are picks we agree on, there is also differences, as football pragmatism meets potentital hipsterdom. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

Some players are great, but they have a gap in the CV that some lesser class players have had. Whether this be because of poor management, bad luck and timing, or they were the big fish in a small pond, not everyone can win the Premier League, so we've made our team of our favourite players never to get to grips with the Premier League title. Expect plenty of Liverpool, whose recent title win inspired this episode, but also lots of great players, some who won a lot, some who did not. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

These are the guys who took the stand that rules are just guidelines, that need to explored, or they are players you loved to hate. Either way, they are some of the biggest names of the last 20 years, and some positions could've gone as deep as a 3rd or 4th team...yes we mean Central Defenders. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever. That was from a Bronx Tale, but sometimes a great player will not have the career they could because of injury. These guys all could've been more than great, but sadly injuries got in the way. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

Firstly, we are too young to remember the great team of the 1970s, but since the 90s, no international team has caught our imagination like the Dutch. Despite not winning anything since 1988, some of the best players in the world have come from Netherlands. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

These are the players that made our Championship/Football Manager lifes that much easier. Based on particular seasons of the game that has cost marriages, time and one podcasters exams grades. So forget Cherno Samba, Mark Kerr and all those overrated Norwegians in 97/98, this is a deeper dive into those players we loved beyond the incredibly obvious. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

None of these players will be winning the Balon D'or, some of them may not be winning any silverware at all, but we love them anyway. Not the best players of all time, but our favourite players. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

Since June 2003, Chelsea have become one of the biggest clubs in Europe and have a trophy haul most clubs would be jealous of, as well as a host of superstar managers of various success. But who would be amongst the best players to have appeared in the blue of Chelsea since that famous take over? https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

We've all had a moment where we try and pick our own England squad, and a lot of these players may have been on the lips of us, but not enough on the lists of Graham Taylor, Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle, Kevin Keegan, Sven Goran-Erikson, Steve McLaren, Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson, Big Sam and Gareth Southgate. Le Tissier seems an obvious choice, but is he? https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message

In this first episode Paul and Johnny try to establish who our favourite players from Serie A in the 1990s would be. The great Milan team of the early 90s, the amazing Juventus team that overcame them, and then the Inter and Lazio teams that were so good at the end of the decade. The back 5 can select themselves, but going forward, there are some tough choices to be made. https://twitter.com/the1to11pod https://www.instagram.com/1to11podcast https://www.facebook.com/1to11podcast https://ko-fi.com/the1to11podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1to11podcast/message
