15 Years of the Football Ramble: Part 1

Stak
About this episode

Join Marcus, Jim and Vish for the first of two episodes celebrating fifteen years of the wee Ramble!


We take a trip through the first few years of the show and football history more broadly, as the lads took a ramshackle production from Luke's kitchen to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and onto a studio Pete had access to. In that time, Pep Guardiola became a manager, the legend of Keggy was born and Donaldson drunkenly bought two pianos.


We'll be back tomorrow with Part Two. Thanks for all your support over the last fifteen years - here's to the next fifteen!
