About this episode

On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast we’re taking a trip down memory lane to hear all of Neil and Martin's Festive Football Period stories. From Martin’s first commentary, to chasing a Television Lorry after a game. 

It’s a CRACKER of an episode. 

Join Neil Barnett (former Chelsea touch-liner announce and football journalist) alongside the voice of the Premier League Martin Tyler in celebrating the greatest addiction in the World!
