Football Kit Memories – Details, episodes & analysis

Hello, Im Craig and welcome to another episode of Football Kit Memories - the football podcast that gets under the shirt.

In today’s episode I'm joined by award winning writer and editor of The Blizzard, Jonathan Wilson as we discuss the recently revised edition of his book Angels with Dirty Faces, an incredible book which not only covers the history of Argentinian football to the present day, but also the history of the modern country itself. I really recommend it.

Beyond the book we cover Jonathan’s three football shirt choices, beginning with a nostalgic trip to Sunderland’s Roker Park during an epic FA Cup Run, an emotional African Cup of Nations win for Zambia and we round things off discussing the legacy of Maradona and the shirt he wore against England at the World Cup in Mexico in 1986.

Hello, Im Craig and welcome to another episode of Football Kit Memories - the football podcast that gets under the shirt

In today’s episode I'm joined by broadcaster and presenter Chris Scull.

Chris joined me to discuss his new book Can We Not Knock It - a deep dive into 90s football nostalgia that sounds like the perfect compliment to the much-loved podcast he co-hosts with Josh Widdecombe - Quickly Kevin Will He Score. We cover that as well as Chris’ work at West Ham as he shares plenty of anecdotes from his numberous dealings with footballers over the years.

Later and as always I asked Chris to pick out three of his favourite football shirts and tell me a little bit about what they mean to him. We cover West Ham at Upton Park, England at Euro 92 and I find out why you’ll never catch Chris walking down the street with a bunch of flowers.

Hello, Im Craig and welcome to another episode of Football Kit Memories - the football podcast that gets under the shirt.

In today’s episode I am joined by Author, Football Historian and Former Director of the National Football Museum Dr Kevin Moore

During our chat, Kevin shares his memories about the conception and opening of English National Football Museum, which he ran for its first 20 years. 

Theres the history, the artefacts and a number stories Kevin shares about his life in football. I learned so much on the call and I could have spoken with Kevin for hours.

Later I asked Kevein to pick out three of his favourite football shirts and tell me a little bit about what they mean to him. Each of these shirts either is or has at one point been on display at the museum as we cover Maradona’s Hand of God away shirt from 1986, the England shirt Bobby Moore swapped with Pele in 1970 and we finish in 1872, with the woolen jersey England wore in the first ever football international versus Scotland.

Hello, Im Craig and welcome to another episode of Football Kit Memories - the football podcast that gets under the shirt

In today’s episode I'm joined by football writer Andy Laing.

During our chat I find out how being laid up in a hospital bed was the motivation behind Andy’s starting the Alba Matter website in 2020. Andy uses his background in education and growth mindset coaching as inspiration for his writing - and its his personal outlook that makes these articles covering mainly Scotland’s Men and Women’s national teams so interesting. Andy also sheds light on the excellent poem he wrote that was published by the Scottish FA the night before the Czech Republic game at Euro 2020.

Later I asked Andy to pick out three of his favourite football shirts and tell me a little bit about what they mean to him. Andy shared some great memories as we reminisced about reading football annuals cover to cover and the same football VHS titles till they were worn out. We started in Mexico in 1986 and the great home shirt El Diego wore to dazzle defenders. Our travels took us to Turin and Bianconeri stripes worn by Baggio, Ravenlli and Vialli… and we finished in glamorous Kenilworth road, home of Luton Town.

Today I meet football writer and editor of the Scottish Football Periodical Nutmeg Magazine - Daniel Gray.

Later I asked Daniel to pick three football shirts and tell me a little bit about what they mean to him. Wecover a watershed moment for his hometown club Middlesbrough, promotion and glory years for York City in the 90s and we finish in Greenock as Daniel explains why this particular Morton shirt sums up his experiences in Scottish football, so wonderfully captured in his book Stramash.
