This episode uncovers the unique and beautiful story behind Nottingham Forest's pre-match anthem, Paul McCartney's wistful Scottish ballad, "Mull of Kintyre." We trace the song's journey from a cultural hit to its permanent home on the banks of the River Trent, where fans ingeniously adapted the lyrics to celebrate their miracle run under the legendary Brian Clough. We look at how this bagpipe-driven tune became the sacred soundtrack to Forest's back-to-back European Cup victories, and how it transformed into an unwavering promise of identity during years of adversity. Discover why this Scottish folk song is a living heirloom, connecting Forest's golden age legends—like Viv Anderson and John Robertson—to the current generation of fans.

Welcome dear listener to First State Kopites. The podcast of the Premier League Champions and league leaders. It's the eighth podcast of the season so far. Reds now have three wins out of three going into the international break. We beat Arsenal by 1-0 despite the prevailing narrative pre-game. I'm Paul and today I am joined by Daz and Sean. Part One - God, Arsenal are a tough watch. STERILE!!National narrative, Arsenal missed an opportunity with Liverpool playing poorly. Only 2 Arsenal players had a positive OBV (On Ball Value) - advanced metric that assigns a value to each action a player takes in line with the positive or negative impact it has on the probability of their team scoring and conceding.My narrative, is a set piece your only way home? And the time wasting - jeez. That's a lot of money to spend on a low block. Arteta has not won at Anfield.Physicality was rewarded - Timber on Gakpo 9m, Zubimendi on Gakpo at 35 Gabriel on Salah at 42 - in between Ryan gets a soft yellow. Eventually Zubimendi gets a card.They do play in Arteta's image - Exhibit A - Timber at 92m; Merino dive at 37First half played on Arsenal's terms. Passing lanes blocked, we live to get set pieces. Even then the VVD interception from Raya's pass out could have led to moreSecond half - especially after Curtis came on (54), we took a few more risks - the offside goal, the Salah first touch moments and then the foul on Jones that led to the free kick:That free kick though - Neville roundly mocked for suggesting it was like Ronaldo. The man who hasn't scored from a free kick in years.Ali marshaling the Liverpool wallAnfield - now 19 games unbeaten at home. Crowd really picked up in the second half - ‘Where's your European Cup?'Part Two - season so far:The spending conversation - ‘kings ransom'. We've sold over $200m, Arsenal may have sales of $30mWe look for value and will pay for generational talent (a la Billy Beane)Chelsea and their own personal VAR, 2 points behind us.We'll be back with a preview of the Burnley game. Thanks to Sean and Daz for joining me, Paul. And most of all, thank you dear listener for joining us.If you enjoyed the pod, please share it with a friend.

Arion, Rebecca and Olly recall the shocking events of the Heysel Stadium disaster, which lead to all English football clubs being banned from European competitions for five years from 2nd June, 1985. The tragedy occurred during the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus, when hooligans from both clubs had infiltrated the neutral sections. The policing was inadequate, with officers diverted by minor thefts, and the stadium's security measures woefully insufficient. 39 fans died, and 600 were injured, but, astonishingly, the match continued - with Juventus winning 1-0. In this episode, The Retrospectors discover how the ban led to the creation of the ill-fated ‘Screensport Super Cup'; consider how Rupert Murdoch's investment in rights transformed the sport; and reveal how the ban affected English clubs' ability to attract international talent… Love the show?

In 1992, European football was at a turning point. The European Cup was going to be replaced with a new format: The Champions League. European football's governing body, Uefa wanted a classical theme to accompany the new competition, in an attempt to try and fix the image of football which was mired by hooliganism at the time.

This is the penultimate podcast in which Patrick Barclay appeared. In it the original Football Ruined My Life panel of Paddy, Jon Holmes and Colin Shindler analyse the year 1968, as the latest in their periodic examinations of one particularly memorable year. In football terms 1968 was the year that Manchester United followed Celtic to become the first English club to win the European Cup but even that landmark occasion was only one of many. It was also the year of the Tet Offensive, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, the riots in Chicago, the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and the alliance between students and workers which brought France to a state of total paralysis. Two black American athletes held up a black gloved fist in support of Black Power during the medal ceremony at the Mexico Olympics and the anti-Vietnam war protest movement came to Grosvenor Square in London. West Bromwich Albion fans need not worry because we do not ignore their victory over Everton in the FA Cup Final or Manchester City's triumph as they were crowned League Champions. A memorable year indeed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this deeply evocative episode of Jumpers For Goalposts, the late Jan Gorski-Mescir – known affectionately as Fydsy – chronicles Liverpool Football Club's unforgettable 1964–65 season. From the euphoric high of their first-ever FA Cup win at Wembley, immortalised by Gerry Byrne's legendary courage through injury, to the heartbreaking injustice of their European Cup semi-final against Inter Milan, this is a tale of triumph, betrayal, and resilience. Jan masterfully interweaves matchday drama with cultural context: the Beatles' meteoric rise, Liverpool's moment in the global spotlight, and the social upheavals reshaping the city. With richly researched detail and Fydsy's unmistakable storytelling voice, this episode pays homage not only to a defining moment in club history – but to the man who told it so well.

This is the story of one of rugby's most notorious matches, told by those who were there.

With the European Cup approaching its 50th anniversary, there were still some members of the footballing aristocracy who were aching to join the ranks of champions. Juventus were Italy's team but still lagged behind the Milanese giants when it came to continental dominance. In their way in 1983 was an ambitious German club with a sharp general manager, a wily old coach and a superbly balanced side who wanted it for themselves.
