An Episode of Reflection: Diogo Jota, Fe...

The Revive Lounge
About this episode

On this week’s episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Martin and Neil start by reflecting on the life of Diogo Jota, and how it has rocked the football world. He will be sorely missed by all.

Next, we have some audience feedback! Some lovely, some calling Neil... Loud. This isn't untrue.

After that it's Martin's Letter from the Gantry, where he reflects on commentating the Premier League Asia Trophy, down the years. Then, Neil's voice of passion is all about the moving of different players, to different continents, at different times, and how this affects different tournaments.

Then it's on to Three of the best, which inevitably comes back round to Diogo, and the impact of his passing on teammates.

Lastly, we have Stoppage Time, where Martin catches us up on the progress of his passion project: "The Greatest Game Never Seen".



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!
