Summary

This week on Finding a Football Club, the lads search for loyalty in the modern game as they pay tribute to the unglamorous, long-serving squad players who basically came free with the stadium. However, professionalism is at an all-time low. Will dials in from his phone having lost all his prep work, and Jay is missing in action after having a baby (congratulations to a man who refuses to listen to his own podcast). The football chat quickly derails as Will announces Mark Noble’s 'honorary' Harvard degree, Roberto recounts impressing Tim Sherwood with his motorway knowledge, and Luke gaslights Will over Dean Windass. Elsewhere, there’s a push for Shola Ameobi to receive national honours, Grant Holt’s inexplicable Italian gap year is uncovered, and Steve Harper’s career is finally reduced to a single, damning metric.
