Finding a Football Club

About Finding a Football Club

Four men. One club. Infinite regrets. After 18 months searching for a team, Luke Oddie, Will Herron, Roberto Boni and Jay Alexander-Ali have finally settled down. York City is the chosen one. Now, the real challenge begins: learning to actually love them. This isn’t a love letter to football. It’s a late-night “You up?” text message.

   Ben Nevis, Kind Eyes & German Women

   This week on Finding a Football Club, Luke and his newly redacted co-host, the Sniggleberry, scrape together an episode after realising York City didn't actually play. With York’s fixture against Barnet postponed due to a sudden influx of Caribbean call-ups, the usual expert post-game autopsy is on hold too. Instead, Luke recounts rescuing two stranded Mancunians from Ben Nevis, Will shares his friend’s obsession with German women, and they try to work out which former Brazilian wonderkid now owns the Cobblers. Plus, there’s a high-stakes round of 442 Goals, and Will desperately tries to edit his name from the show, after Luke might have got him fired.

   Gillingham, Perfume Making & Sperm Whales

   The 135th best football podcast in the UK is back. This week, Will returns after a brief hiatus following Leatherhead FC, while Luke buys back some credibility by getting in on the York City merch action. Trying to stay somewhat on topic, the boys briefly discuss York’s dominant 3-0 home victory over Gillingham, and launch a missing person’s investigation into the fan-punching cult hero, Hiram Boateng. Plus, there’s perfume making, sperm whales, legal battles, 32-digit authentication codes, and candles dedicated to Owen Hargreaves. We’re 135th in the charts for a reason.

   Chesterfield, Changing Tyres & Chasing 442

   The York City era hits a speed bump, both on and off the pitch. This week on Finding a Football Club, as Roberto adorns his newly purchased 1996/97 shirt, an upstaged Luke admits he missed the Chesterfield game after his car rolled off a jack in the rain. The duo break down York’s 2-0 away defeat to Chesterfield, whilst also getting to know kitchen-fitter turned midfield maestro, Ollie Banks. They get side-tracked by York City’s player ratings on FC27, Roy Keane’s true height, and two new addictive football games: 442 Goals and Higher Ground. Does anyone know a good mechanic?
